Class was not too difficult but it does move quickly. All exams are online in class. There are a few writing assignments with a first and second draft but she does not give clear instructions or feedback(very hard to get above a 95 because of this). Overall not bad but studying will be your best friend.
Although I did not get an A in the end, but she is one of the best professor that I ever known. Love her. For any Italian courses participation is important.
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!

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. =
Just took italian1 for fall 2018. She is an amazing professor with awesome character. Take her class you'll not gonna regret it!!
Very clear to understand and wants students to do well.
I found De Simone to be very nice and extremely helpful. The class was pretty straight-forward and she provided study guides for each quiz/test (and gave us a hint before each pop quiz!). I would highly recommend her.
She's great. She will warn you before those pop quizzes, and she is very flexible with due dates. A very kind professor, though she forgets to mention some aspects sometimes.
Every time I take Italian, I try to get into Tiziana's class! I had her for Italian 1 and she inspired me to go to Italy. She always "warns" you to study for a pop quiz and she will help you if you don't understand. It is because of her I might decide to major in Italian. She is quiet and her English is rough but she tells subtle funny jokes.
Tiziana is just wonderful, and hot too!! :-)
Very helpfull in class and knowledgable about Italian
great prof. really made the class.
Tiziana was one of the best teachers I have ever had. I would recommend her for beginners.
borromeo was nice, but she moved so fast and only spoke italian and it made content and learning that much more difficult. wouldn't recommend, very harsh grader and few assignments make your grade weighted by very little
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!
Tiziana is a caring and understanding professor who sets high standards for language proficiency.
She was a great professor, she made the class very interesting and was very clear and helpful in explaining any concepts we did not understand. There are 5 quizzes, however, but as long as you prepare for them, they're not too tricky. Classes are small so attendance is mandatory, but you can skip 3 classes before being marked down.
I had Carla for Italian 6, she speaks very fast, unlike the other professors. She is impossible to get outside of her one hour of office hours, never responds to emails and does not understand technology. Tried to blame me for her not understanding how to post something to GauchoSpace.
Past tense grammar was difficult, but that is told by prof. She helps and will do what she can without giving the answers directly
She is so kind. Her explanations are clear and she makes sure to do constant reviews that make sure that you don't get left behind when it comes to the course materials. I've had her for both Italian 1 and 2. She is a great professor!
Tiziana is simply lovely! She is friendly, welcoming, funny, and flexible. She is from Italy and maintains her easygoing Italian demeanor. She is an easy grader; just go to class, do the homework, and be prepared for the easy pop quizzes. She gives hints as to when the pop quizzes are and gives comprehensive study guides for the tests. Easy class!
She is the best Italian teacher that I've had! She reviews material when asked and is not mean about it. She genuinely wants you to understand everything and if you need help she is always in her office during office hours. Not only is she accessible on campus she responds to emails promptly. If I had her for ITAL 1&2 I would have done much better.
