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. =

ITAL2 . 6 Years Ago

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!

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.
