Winter 2021 - Definitely would recommend! The class is just the basics for italian like learning any other language. Your grade is based on participation by going to class and talking in breakout rooms. Homework was done on cengage which is a little pricey but all the material is there and is mandatory. The homework was due almost every other day, which personally helped me stay on track. There's also 3 compositions which is basically just mini essays/narratives, you turn in a first draft which is 50% of your grade, and a second draft which is the other 50. There is also 3 quizzes that you take with respondus and is really no big deal, but there are also practice quizzes to take before the actual quiz. The questions on the practice quizzes are the exact same on the actual quiz. There is a final exam but it's basically the same as the quizzes. Professor Truong herself is great! She's very kind and considerate with most things. At most I think she just wants her students to participate. The entire class is easy points as long as you actually try.

Spring 2020 - Professor Valdarno was so cool!! He was super flexible, meaning if we needed to submit an assignment a day late, he was totally fine with it (however I had this class during covid-19 so it was entirely online, perhaps making him a bit more lenient). He was always organized and tried to make lectures engaging for us. He was super understanding and patient with us when we didn't know something. As long as you get all the homeworks done, the class should be easy for you!
