Comment:

Professor Salvati is one of the best professors someone can ever take for Italian. She cares for ALL of her students & wants each one, to not only pass, but to receive A's. She gives clear instructions for what she wants on any given test or assignment. She reviews EVERYTHING before any oral or written exam. She's even hilarious in class. Take her!

Comment:

I've always hated taking foreign language courses. It's my biggest stress and if I wasn't forced to take it I wouldn't. So after not taking any sort of Italian course for 5 yrs I was thrown into my schools version of Ital 2. I initially struggled in my summer course with her, but since she's an excellent professor I passed with a B+. MUST HAVE

She is so amazing! I had her for Italian 213 and she was one of the best professors I had so far! She makes sure you understand everything, and she has such an adorable accent! Participation counts a lot but she calls on you anyway. Also there are barely any tests, we took maybe 45 the whole semester. There is also very little homework! I rec her!

The best Italian teacher I've had thus far. She's clear with everything and let's students know whats on the exams the class before. Couldn't be an easier A if you just listen to her lectures and actually try to understand the language.

Prof. Salvati is the sweetest professor that someone could ever have. I was on the verge of failing her class and she gave me a chance to redeem myself. I would take her again if possible but she is so nice and funny and definitely understanding.

She is absolutely amazing. I've had oh, so many horrible Italian instructors, but she is definitely NOT one of them. She is funny, and doesn't make you feel stupid for not knowing something. She is very helpful and compassionate. TAKE HER CLASS!!!!
