Comment:

He is extremley nice and helpful but it doesn't outweigh the overload of work. For a 100 level class expect 3-4 assignments every class a test every two weeks and an excessive amount of online and work book assignments as well. Would not reccomend this class if your not required to take it.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER. He gives a ridiculous amount of work, gives oral exams on days that we do not have class scheduled, and is a condescending OCD annoying human being. I literally want to slap the crap out of him everytime I see him. I love speaking spanish but he makes me hate it.

Sr. C is an excellent professor and nice guy. He's extremely helpful, too. There is a lot of homework, but it's not difficult and really helps in learning the material. He also gives extra credit opportunities to boost your test score.

Comment:

He's a nice guy, but the workload is ridiculous. I sometimes do 3 hours of homework for one class. There is so much on one test. I felt like I was taking a 300 level class with the amount of work I did and the amount I needed to know for tests.

Comment:

ceresaletti is a nice guy but ridiculous...his workload is not fair, he gives hours of hw every night, and not to mention it barely counts for anything so you spend a ridiculous amount of time on it for nothing...he holds us over our class time for five minutes every day, if you dont mind doing a crazy amount of hw than take him but id stay away

Comment:

Great professor. Always friendly and helpful. Lots of homework! But it helps a lot. Overall great class, if you're taking Spanish as a GE or for a BA, definitely take him! If for a minor/major, you probably could find a more challenging class, but he's so clear and such a great teacher.

Sig. C. is the best italian teacher i have ever had. i have been taking italian since 5th grade and ive never learned more. he gives a lot of work but it never is more than half an hour a night. its so helpful and makes learning a foreign language that much easier. his dedication shows for sure.

Comment:

Sr. C. is the best Spanish teacher/professor I have ever had. I took 201 and 202 with him and didn't regret it. He is always happy and friendly and SO ORGANIZED, but he makes lectures interesting because he is so enthusiastic and loves to act things out. Example, Wizard of Oz and Don't Cry 4 Me Argentina. He gives lots of work but it helps a lot

Comment:

Great teacher but TONS of work. Lots of homework, quizzes (easy), compositions and tests which are fair. He is the most organized teacher I've ever had-- maybe TOO organized but still you learn a lot. If you are willing to go to class everyday and do loads of work but still learn, this is the class for you.

Comment:

Marc is VERY organized! His quizzes are easy as you are allowed to use your notes. His lectures are a bit boring though, as he reads right from the slides. Attention to Part 1 of the class is important for Part 2, as much of what you learned needs to be applied to your analyses, and the specific questions he asks. It's a good class though!

Comment:

I was really nervous about taking this class since I hadn't taken Italian since jr year of high school... However, Sig. Cerosaletti is an AMAZING professor, probably the best foreign language teacher I have EVER had. He puts a lot of time and consideration into his worksheets and powerpoints. Use his study guides and you will pass all the tests.

Comment:

The nicest guy you'll ever meet. He is always friendly. The first 1/2 of the semester has a heavy work load... but it isn't too bad. Then the 2nd half is a lot easier. He uses a lot of handouts and likes to make slide shows that have sound effects

Senior C. is a great professor. He does make you do work but I dont think it was too much. He really likes when you talk in his classes and he is a fair grader. Take him if you can!

Comment:

Shit loads of work in the beginning, but towards the end of the semester, it's not bad. You basically just use your lab to watch movies. He uses lots of technical terms when he talks, ALBEIT, he also loves gangs - no joke.

figured I'd get an easy A being that I took 4 years of italian in HS. Basically the most ridiculous 100 level course i've taken. the most work and is the hardest grader on tests ever!

He is a really nice guy but there is a lot of work. His tests are not that hard, you just gotta look at the study packet and u will get a good grade. One of the better spanish teachers. I would recommend him.

Comment:

He is very anal, and the work load is demanding! He is very dedicated to his job, but on the other hand his quizes are hard because you have to memorizr the whole assigment just to get a decent grade. He is not one of the worst teachers you could have, but avoid him if possible.
