Hilary is a great professor. She made my last Italian class really fun and engaging, and I'm so glad that I took 203 with her as my professor. She's also fantastic at making sure everyone understands the hefty amount of challenging material that she has to get through, and stresses constantly that she's available for office hours if needed.Rate My Professors ↗
Ilaria is one of the best TAs I've ever had. Extremely caring, warm, intelligent, and always willing to go above and beyond with whatever you need her to help you with. Participation does matter more than in most other classes and she speaks mostly in Italian. Very passionate about the language and teaching it. Honestly just a wonderful person.Rate My Professors ↗
I would describe Hilary as firm-but-fair. She definitely pays attention to your participation and attendance more than some other TAs might. She expects you to stay on task. But all in all she was very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. She made important deadlines clear and always gave tips on the most important things to study.Rate My Professors ↗
