Spring 2018 - I'm writing this on Tognozzi's profile since her name was on the study list for Italian 1, but Adele Sanna was the sole instructor for my class. I am absolutely brand new to Italian, so an A is definitely possible for anyone really. The class itself was super engaging. Participation is key (it's worth 15% of your total grade). Examinations count for about 50% of your grade, and the rest of your grade is determined by group presentations, an oral exam, and writing compositions (super easy). Sanna really was a great professor that eased the whole class into the complex world of the Italian language. In fact, I signed up for this class 2 weeks late and managed to catch up by Week 3 thanks to Sanna's help. Workload is super light (maybe like 5-10 minutes per day), and the exams are very manageable. Not much to say other than Sanna is a great professor and the class is very manageable as long as you can commit an hour a week outside of class.

Spring 2022 - I took this class with a TA, not the professor, but I loved this class. I learned so much in Italian and the TA was so helpful and understanding when we would try to formulate conversation or questions. This class is entirely in Italian and while it can be confusing at times, the TA would repeat herself and answer any questions. Not many assignments and if there were assignments they never felt like busy work. Lots of studying outside of the class but that's to be expected with a language class.
