Comment:

Never had to attend classes except to pick up question sheets for the readings. Only summarized the readings every class and never taught anything on her own without the book her tests are taken right from the question sheets so if you do those you are golden she was very rude didnt know what LEARN was

I have no idea what you guys are talking about but I do know Vera is an amazing professor, she's very nice, helpful and this course was such a joke anyone can get a 90 in it aslong as you read, study for 2 hours before a midterm, attend and participate. Easiest course I've taken in university

Very sweet caring and warm teacher. Wants her students to succeed, but does not give away marks to people who joke around. Very willing to help students and does not give up on them. Gentle demeanor

Comment:

Worst Prof Ever! Never take her class. She's unclear, unorganized and has no respect for her students. If you're beyond sick with a legitimate doctor's note she'll call you a liar and yell at you to the point of tears. She changes due dates every other class. Her exams are basically designed to trick students out of a fair grade.

Somebody else said it before - teach and then test (with less trivial questions)! Organize your stuff too.

Easiest class I have ever taken. If you need something to boost your mark waaaay up take this one! Look over your test after she marks it though, she makes a lot of mistakes and then tries to convince you your right answer is actually wrong.

Comment:

Hey Vera, What is the Italian translation for "Worst Professor Ever"? Extremely unorganized, unhelpful, unprofessional, frustrating, and incompetent. Does not teach anything or present material that is interesting or relevant. Ital 292 with Golini is a horrible way to spend your time and money. Take French culture 292 instead.

Where to start, she is crazy! she'll go out of her way to screw students. she thinks she is so special that she can rewrite history... ex "Canada was named by Italians, Can meaning city + nada meaning none,get it, no cities!" wow the italians sure were brilliant, if only any of it were true. PSYCHO!

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF GOLINI IS TEACHING IT. Her lectures are slow and contain little if any information about the course material. Her test questions are worded poorly. Don't ask for her to look over your tests as she will take marks off for "wasting her time". Horrible Prof. at best.

Comment:

HORRIBLE TEACHER. I would never take a class with her again. She reads the rule books and brings stupid rules instead or marking tests to hand back to you. Can't understand what she is saying and she doesn't really TEACH anything. I had to teach myself the material before the tests from the reading
