Professor Fogu is a good guy. Puts a lot of effort into his lectures, and will go very far into depth about questions asked. The tests were hard, but by no means unreasonable.

Took Pass/No Pass. Professor Fogu is really cool and passionate. Go to office hours! Lectures can be hard to understand bc he uses very complex language, only clarifies if you talk to him one on one. Quizzes every week on the movies (3Qs) and a midterm essay and a final (which is quite hard) shows sequences from any movies and u write about them.

ITAL124X . Fogu C 1 Year, 4 Months Ago

his slideshow are not helpful at all. they are super confusing, unorganized, and way too simple for the amount of material he gave us. you really have to stay on top of the readings and teach yourself a lot of the material. he is kinda all over the place and made a lot of mistakes on canvas. he's nice but just makes things confusing

Rambles in lecture; the wording is incredibly nuanced and complex. He expects you to have the complex material understood like the back of your hand. Material is interesting but that fact was defeated by his harsh grading. Made me dread the class and every assignment. I'd suggest avoiding this class if you can.

He is passionate about what he teaches but his lectures don't make much sense and he kind of just rambles on without much explanation.

Lots of reading but also it is so interesting and the films chosen are so beautiful. he's very enigmatic and you can tell he cares alot about his classtopics
