She is so caring and I always felt comfy speaking in class and asking questions. Theres a 50-60$ book and attendance was mandatory. Her classes were fun and the final was an oral project that was insightful

She is so cool. We speak alot in class which makes sense bc it's a language class, group projects, attendance is mandatory and there is alot of homework. If you speak already French or Spanish, it makes the class alot easier but you have to study alot on your own. Overall recommend to anyone

She was super sweet, you will need to do a decent amount of studying outside of class because the lectures don't fully prepare you for the exams and quizzes in my opinion. But it is an easy class.

Professor Borromeo is a kind woman and clearly passionate about teaching but this class was just not it! She assigns multiple projects (individual/group) and her feedback on any work you turn in does not help you improve at all. You learn more from reading the textbook than her presentations. Would not take her class to fulfill the GE requirement.

Grading criteria was unclear, often went on tangents in Italian and expected beginner students to understand, quizzes were strangly formatted, poor feedback on projects, and the structure of the course was subpar.

She has a serious issue with organization to the point where nearly every single day students would come to class complaining. Her documents are inconsistent, the websites/textbooks she uses are chaotic and don't function half the time... etc. Additionally, she literally never goes over pronunciation and just kinda expects students to know it???
