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. =

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.

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.

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.

I took Ital 1 & 2 and Aced them both until I got to Ital 3 with Tizana- she is so unclear, not interested in explaining it better to you. If your going to take italian take it with another teacher, I am an A student and I ended up with a B in the class because the teacher. She reads straight from the book- aka there is NO point in going to class!!!

Tiziana is super nice, but I didn't really like the curriculum of Italian 4. It's essentially a more in depth review of Italian 1, with some more useless stuff in the mix too. It was my first language class coming back from study abroad in Italy, where I took 1-3. She is very helpful, but if you wanna learn Italian you should just go abroad!!!

She is a GREAT professor. I had her for ITAL 1 and she made it soooo easy! She explains everything and makes sure everyone understands. I wish I could have her for ITAL 2! Take her if you can!

Excellent instructor, very nice and willing to help students succeed.

She is impossible to understand, she mumbles, and is very impatient when awaiting responses. Not helpful at all.
