The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Redo homework to 100% and keep up with practice work makes an A realistic with consistent effort.
In-person students call it an easy A; the single online review found redo loops very time-consuming.
Is the course easy?
Introductory Italian needs practice, but students say it is fun and not intellectually brutal if you participate.
In-person difficulty ratings stay low; the online review rated difficulty higher.
Is attendance flexible?
Most recent reviews mark attendance mandatory with daily participation and call-outs.
Evidence is mainly in-person mandatory attendance; online also required camera presence.
Is this professor recommended?
Nearly all in-person reviewers urge students to take her for her energy, care, and support.
Strong in-person recommendation; the one online review would not take her again.
