She is star, a goddess. Really, get to know her because she will be the department head someday, if not higher than that. She loves Europe, and you can learn a lot in her class. But the best thing is the woman herself.

Valentina is an awesome professor, go to the lectures, read the book and the exams are not bad at all. She engages the class, and the topic is very interesting. She is so nice, love her to bits. Take this class she is excellent and you learn a lot about the EU she knows every detail of EU history, it amazed me. Two thumbs up :)

valentina is a very fair teacher. She does not allow exceptions. She's interesting but not attention captivating. I highly recommend sitting in the front row.

This class was really heavy on the readings but the quizzes were fairly easy, attendance was taken in class and she asks for a lot of participation.

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.
