Professor Codebo is a very enthusiastic professor who honestly wants his students to learn about Italian culture and history. Instead of writing a few long papers, he has you write three short (2 page) personal responses to various interesting ideas. The readings were engaging and the final and midterm were both multiple choice. If you go to lecture,section and do the reading, the class is easy and enjoyable.
