I had Professor Ardeni for Italian I and loved her! She's super nice and helpful, and she makes the class very easy. She only speaks in Italian during class, which I thought would be annoying, but it actually helped me learn the material better. It didn't feel like a chore to go to class, because Professor Ardeni likes to engage with the students and tries to make things fun. The homework is a pretty light load, and you can do it ahead of time if you want to get ahead. None of the tests were difficult, and it's an easy A if you show up to class and do some studying right before tests.
