Comment:

Had her for both Italian 231 and 232, was excited to have her again. Fair, kind, she hugged everyone of us at the end of both semesters. Walked out happy, with her tiramisu recipe as an unexpected bonus. Adelaide and Vincenzo Binetti made my experience with U of M Italian a joy.

Absolutely amazing teacher. I had her for 231 and intentionally took 232 at 9am my very last semester to have her. She loves her students and wants everyone to succeed. Seriously, if you put in any effort, there is no reason you can't do well. She makes everything clear and FUN. You will not regret taking her classes.

Best Italian professor at Umich. If you can take her class, absolutely do it. Not only did she teach me Italian, but she taught me how to study and participate in class. Even at 9AM she made me want to go to class.

Adelaide is very cute and funny. She has interesting stories to tell and she is willing to help, but she wasn't always welcoming to the help that I needed.

Adelaide is wonderful. She's delightful - her class completely changed my opinion on Italian. She made 9am Italian a great way to start the day. Totally fair grader. She wants everyone to do well and she wants everyone to love Italian.

I hated my first year of Italian, but then I had Adelaide as my professor for Italian 231 and she made me love the language. She is an excellent teacher and I recommend her, especially to those struggling with Italian like I was.
