ITAL4 . 12 Years Ago

Tiziana is super nice, but I didn't really like the curriculum of Italian 4. It's essentially a more in depth review of Italian 1, with some more useless stuff in the mix too. It was my first language class coming back from study abroad in Italy, where I took 1-3. She is very helpful, but if you wanna learn Italian you should just go abroad!!!

ITAL4 . Borromeo C 15 Years Ago

OH. MY. GOSH. Borromeo is by far THE BEST Italian teacher of the bunch. You have to take her if you have any interest in the language. She is super clear with explanations and really cares about / gets to know her students personally. Every class is interesting, fun, and different. I want to stay in touch with her even after the class ended.

Great lady! Fun class, easy and she is really helpful. Listened to a lot of Italian music in her class!

ITAL1 . Borromeo C 11 Months Ago

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.

ITAL2 . 1 Year, 6 Months Ago

She seems very sweet and always answers everyone's questions in class. My one gripe is that for every class you miss after 3, you lose 1/3 a letter grade per day. With 40+ classes per quarter that policy seems very strict. Comunque grazie mille Tiziana!

ITAL1 . 2 Years Ago

Super sweet and she really cares about her class. The only thing is that participation really matters, it's super easy to do well if you attend class.
