Prof. Sarnelli is super nice and caring. She can also be pretty funny. Every class someone presents about the homework material and then she continues it with more slides. Readings can be hard but class helps it all make sense. Not a hard grader, especially if you show that you're making an effort. Definitely would take her again.

Laura's class is by far in my top 3 of classes I've ever taken at UCSB (I'm a bio major). The material was fascinating & I really appreciated how much she enforced Italian only in the classroom. I'd only taken up to Ital 3 so it was a bit daunting at first, I spent a lot of time on the readings but all worth it. We even get to watch a few films!

I took Italian 1 as a hybrid course, and I loved it. Since it was a hybrid course there was a lot of homework at times, with a quiz about every two weeks plus writing assignments. Overall, I loved this class and Professor Sarnelli. Shes really nice and fair, I defiantly recommend taking a class with her.

Only time I have ever left a review in here and probably the only time I ever will. I loved her so much, by FAR my favorite professor I have ever had. Treats ever

Professor Laura is an amazing teacher and made Italian very easy and fun to learn. Quizzes every other 2 weeks a total of 4 but not too bad if you study for them. Gives clear instructions is very patient wants her students to succeed.

I love Prof. Sarnelli. She is super nice, fun, and respectful. Texts can sometimes be slightly tricky, but as long as you put an effort she is super understanding. Class started with a student presentation on some material and followed up by a lecture by the prof mixed with discussion. Instead of a final exam we had a project which was a fun twist.
