ITAL1 . Borromeo C 1 Year, 11 Months Ago

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.

ITAL1 . Borromeo C 1 Year, 11 Months Ago

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.

ITAL1 . Borromeo C 2 Years Ago

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???

ITAL1 . Borromeo C 5 Years Ago

Carla made Italian a fun language to learn. I took her Fall 2018, 4 quizzes (none dropped), 3 projects, online and book homework to go over in class, had one partner project, and our final was a written project. Easy to approach and ask questions to and she makes the language easy to understand. If you get the chance to take Ital1 with her, do it!

ITAL1 . Borromeo C 7 Years Ago

Carla is really friendly and easygoing. She makes the class fun and easy to understand. She'll tend to go in Italian rants from time to time but she'll explain things and don't be afraid to ask. There was two group projects, and one was part of the final. The class is not hard as long as you pay attention and she'll drop the lowest of 5 quizzes.
