I love Prof Snyder. He is by far one of the most caring professors I've ever had at my four years at UCSB.

Teaches very well and is very helpful. He tells you his analysis of the text in class, which is pretty much all you need to know. However, your writing has to be clear and detailed, as he looks for many specific things. He is a kind person who is very willing to help you in office hours.

Snyder is one of the coolest professors in the Italian department. I highly recommend his classes!

awesome teacher. Tough class.

I love Professore Snyder! He is a fantastic teacher and both classes I have had with him have been very interesting and I learned a lot. Neither class was excessively easy, but that was to be expected from an upper division Italian class. Plus he is super helpful and seems like he genuinely likes us!

Prof. Snyder was one of the top professors I had. I love all things Italian and especially loved his class on Dante's Inferno. I took his Comp Lit 114X class (Children's Lit) during a summer session as well. I like how he lectures. He is always willing to help and even wrote my letter of recommendation to complete my Italian Studies major. Thanks!

Professor Snyder is such a charming & kind individual. He may appear stern at first and I know his lecture style isn't for everyone but I absolutely love this professor. His knowledge of Italy and his passion for the subject are both impressive and engaging. He is more than happy to help students that ask and his grading is very clearly stated.

Snyder is a GREAT professor! Not only is he always super organized, but he is extremely helpful and friendly! He grades fairly, you just have to participate and show interest in the class! Just go to every class and pay moderate attention! I also took ital144ax! I would recommend him to anyone!

Snyder is AWESOME! He has a very theatrical approach to lectures which keeps them interesting and rarely deviates from the main points of the lecture.

Best professor I've had here. He cares so much about his students and the material he teaches. The class is tough but doable. He definitely made me love the Divine Comedy.

Hands down the best class I've taken so far; lectures are very in-depth, and the guy knows the Divine Comedy probably as well as Dante did. If you go to lecture/read the books, you'll ace the tests.

The best lecturer at UCSB. Very passionate about Dante. DANTE RULES!!!!
