Baraldi is honestly the best. This class was taken by people at all levels of Italian (Italian Food Culture) and she always took that into account when grading projects. There were a few video projects and 2 presentations. All in all, easy and interesting class with yummy food & I learned a lot. Take a class with her!!

Comment:

Michela is a sweet heart. She is from Bologna, and her italian is wonderful. She mainly teaches 2090, so certainly expect to mainly be speaking in Italian. She speaks a little on the faster side, but is super clear, and if you ever need help, she's MORE than willing and accommodating. The workload is rather high, but she's flexible with due dates!!

MIchela is AMAZING. Honestly one of the best professors I've ever had. She is passionate about the subject, explains material well, and gets students engaged by integrating lots of music and culture with grammar. I traveled to Italy this summer, and after one year in her section, I could comfortably hold a conversation with native Italians.

Native speaker, very enthusiastic and willing to help. Our discussions were early in the morning and few students were willing to speak up. She adapted her teaching style to suit us. Extensions are easy. Go to class and study the vocab for the exam and it's an easy A.
