CollegeGreat Italian prof
GREAT Professor!! I loved her class. She is so sweet and makes a great connection with her students. Awesome at teaching Italian.
Best language teacher I've had here. I loved this class and everyone who took the class was really engaged. She was so kind and clear and she is also from Italy. I learned so much. Also, people were not lying she is literally the best dressed professor ever.. It doesn't matter that much but I was genuinely inspired. Thanks Professor Crickette!
I LOVE THIS PROF. She is so cute and Italian mother-like. Class is super chill and material is interesting. We read one short book throughout and had 2 short & easy reaction papers. Midterm and final were multiple choice tests, pretty easy if you attended lecture. Could make a pizza from scratch for extra credit!
Loved this class! She's such a good lecturer I genuinely wanted to come to class. Goes at a good pace while adding in fun anecdotes. She gives extra credit, 2 easily graded papers, 2 exams, 4 quizzes, if you go to lecture you don't have to do any of the readings to do well on the exams. My first Italian class and would 100% recommend.
I was so excited for a class on Italian culture, but she made it hard to get anything done! I had health issues all quarter and when I asked for an extension on the first paper, she gave me 15 extra hours total, including sleeping. Since I couldn't do the paper (25% of my grade), it guaranteed I would fail the class unless I aced everything.
