Comment:

I loved Gea! She was a good friend to all of her students (if you showed even the slightest interest in Italian anyyway) The problem at Hofstra is that most of the students are morons and can't understand how to conjugate verbs and refuse to study the words. If you have no interest in Italian, don't take it! you have other options. Gea Somma rocked

I haven't met anyone as knowlegeable as she is. She is a great and helpful teacher. If you said she is not good, you must have been a very bad student and not interested in learning the real Italian.

Comment:

Who in their right mind would post that she was a great teacher, she has little understanding of the english language. She fails to explain anything and she expects the entire class to be fluent. She is by far the worst teacher at Hofstra, and she doesn't even deserve the tittle of Prof. or teacher.

Professor Somma is great!!! I am glad to have had her as a professor because I learned alot. She is smart and very helpful when you don't understand something. I will definitely take another class with her.

Comment:

Non parlo italiano bene, ma penso che io parlo megliore più italiano di lei parla inglese. Io studio italiano per quantro anni e penso che posso leggere e scrivere molto bene. Dopo ho avuto Prof Somma si sono sentuto come un stupido studente. (If you can't understand what i wrote then you will fail)
