Very smart woman. Speaks Italian clearly so the whole class can understand. However, she is extremely unprofessional. She refused to have office hours. She went out of her way to humiliate male students in class. She did not like when people expressed opinions contrary to her own. She is not a tough grader (she is much laxer if she likes you), but if you actually want to have a pleasant experience at UCLA avoid her class and avoid her.
