Students will explore with a native Italian speaker instructor, traditions related to a specific Italian region or city. The goal of the seminar is to introduce new students to Italian culture and traditions. Thousands of tourists visit the Italian peninsula every year to see monuments, museums, "opere d'arte" but also to live and have first hand experience of the "Italianita'", the warm welcome of the Italian population.

Prerequisites: Freshman standing.

She seems very sweet and always answers everyone's questions in class. My one gripe is that for every class you miss after 3, you lose 1/3 a letter grade per day. With 40+ classes per quarter that policy seems very strict. Comunque grazie mille Tiziana!

Super sweet and she really cares about her class. The only thing is that participation really matters, it's super easy to do well if you attend class.

Tiziana is super sweet and approachable! Her lectures are concise and simple to understand! Very reasonable amount of hw and tests were always based on what we constantly went over in class, so very easy! Final was fun and very simple! Overall, she helped me learn a lot and grow a love for the language! TAKE HER CLASS!

Tiziana is super sweet and approachable! Her lectures are concise and simple to understand. She assigns a very reasonable amount of homework! Her tests were all based on what we would constantly go over class, so they were easy! Final was fun and very simple! I learned so much in her class and grew to love the language! TAKE HER CLASS!

I think Tiziana does a good job of presenting the material in an approachable way, and she's always been friendly and quick to answer questions. I am not a huge fan of the online homework/ebook that is required, due to the price and the general sluggishness of the program (cengage). The learning software can often be a pain to use. =
