Comment:
Prof. Perricone is a gem in the Italian department. She demands respect and attention from her students, but this is really the typical Italian style of teaching. Ask her about her background as an actress in Italy- if you show an interest in her, she will give you that same respect and class will be very enjoyable.

Comment:
Active style of teaching. Lots of drills for speaking, expects a lot of busy work. Doesn't create a great environment for learning, because she gets angry if her students don't answer right away. Pretty stressful come class time.

Prof. Perricone is a very intelligent prof. but she does take Italian seriously. If you are afraid to speak up in class don't take her class. She can be intimidating but don't get discouraged. Also tell her if you don't know the answer. She will work with you.

She was always really enthusiastic. She is full of energy and seems to be breezing through things, but in reality she's willing to stop and listen if you have questions.

Comment:
Isabella presents a fun classroom environment, but ofetn she is less prepared than her students. If people are underprepared she skips the collegiate approach of giving a lower grade and ops for the middle school approach of yelling, lecturing, and guilt tripping. Directions are often ambiguous, and she will single out someone to pick on.

Isabella is AWESOME! She's funny and caring and is simply fun to be around, even at 8:30 in the morning. If you take Italian, try to take it with her!
