Comment:

He is super nice but totally disorganized. He didnt post a single grade the entire semester so I had no idea what my grade was until a week after the final. If you want a relaxed professor who will give you an A or B, take him. But if you care at all about learning or having any idea whats going on, dont take him.

Comment:

Class is not the hardest thing ever and he's super sweet. Will help you if you ask for it. A lot of the grades seem to be more based on participation/completion than accuracy which is nice when learning a new language. He knows a lot about Italian culture and genuinely wants students to succeed!

Great person but can not speak in front of a class. Completely goes off on weird tangents and stutters a lot.

Comment:

Dr. Feinstein is an interesting dude. He really tries to convey a good message to his students but goes on SUPER irrelevant tangents, and talks about some of the other classes that he teaches. At heart, he is a really nice guy, so if you show up and pay attention youll be fine, but don't think you're going to LEARN a lot.

Comment:

Professor Weinstein is a really nice guy and he definitely knows his stuff about film. He is incredibly accommodating and will offer students extensions if they need them. If you like a structured class, this is not for you. Assignments are changed daily and you really have to stay on top clarifying any questions you have.

Feinstein is great at teaching about culture and society. His 300 level courses are super relaxed and as long as you complete the work and try, you'll get an A.

Comment:

Wiley is a nice guy, he is just a little strange. Unfortunately, he is really disorganized. That said, he does include some cool media in the class to help spice it up a little bit. You can succeed if you put forth the effort, but it was really just a miserable class. also he has some hygene issues that need to be taken care of

Get this guy. He grades easy and doesn't care much about homework. It is more about completion. He takes a very intuitive approach in his teaching. His lectures are not very structured and the class is very laid back.

He is a very nice and helpful guy, but his lectures are disjointed and he goes off on a lot of tangents... He seems to know his stuff but can't get the ideas across very well... Overall easy class though!

Comment:

Excellent class and a great professor. Fair grader. Two days in class, two days onsite. He'll take you to some of the best museums and churches in Rome that you prob wouldnt see on your own time. One of the few professors that is actualy computer literate. He posts all handouts on blackboard and encourages out-of-class discussion on blackboard.

He's a really sweet, nice guy. Really interested in Italian and students, and always really helpful. The only problem is he's unclear and confusing. Dont have to speak much either, and that's too bad.

Great professor! Classes were fun and interesting and focused more on the culture than the grammar. He is EXTREMELY helpful and easy-going and I would recommend him to everyone.
