  • Roberta is the best instructor ever, she responds to emails very fast and is very helpful. If you liked 101 and found it easy, 102 is the structured the same way and it also easy. Easy Bird course and the professor was so great, also if you want to actually learn the language, this course is good for that as well.

  • I took it online due to my schedule, but it's most likely much better in person. It's a decent class and it's very organised. However, sometimes it was unclear what the questions were asking for on the mini-quizzes. I found the class to be quite grammar heavy too. Overall, it was a pretty easy and straightforward course. Although, it could use more speaking in and listening to Italian in assessments.

  • This was such an easy elective. I took 101 over a year ago, didn't even review any of my notes before taking this class, put in minimal effort while taking the class, and came out with a 90. So, I would definitely say this is a bird course. Although, I do wish it was slightly more challenging, because I felt like I didn't really learn much. Nice average booster though!

  • Much harder then Ital 102, it out of no where becomes a lot harder. Useful course, and very fun with the right prof and group of people.

  • It's a fun class that can come handy if taken as an elective. It's really easy and doesn't require much work.

“This prob has been asked a couple times, but am I allowed to take a language course when I'm already fluent in the language? …”

u/BattlestarGalacticum: “I speak Italian (Calabrian - so a dialect) and I took ITAL101, taking ITAL102 rn. Just rushed every assignment and ended with a 94, never had to take a test or anything. Not sure about korean or chinese since a lot of students here speak it they might do a placement test. …”
