Fun class, as are most of the elementary Italian courses. Just do the reading and study for the quizzes and you'll pass.

I've had three different Italian profs and Carla was by far the best. She makes coming to class everyday worth it, she keeps it entertaining and really wants her class to do well. Take her every quarter if you can.

She is so sweet and really wants the class to succeed, maybe too much because she dumbed down the quizzes for us when we didn't do well. Super nice and super facile!

Nice, very enthusiastic about the subject and teaches a lot about the culture and lifestyles of Italy. However, she is a bit disorganized/scatterbrained and less systematic than other profs.

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.
