Stefania is one of my favorite professors at UW-Madison. I initially took her course while I was studying abroad, and decided to enroll in another one of her classes. Stefania is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about teaching. This class is very manageable and Stefania does an excellent job teaching!Rate My Professors ↗

By far the best professor I have had. She makes every lecture interesting to be in and has such passion for the topic that you cant help but learn. The literature assigned is mostly skimmable as long as you can carry on a discussion about it in class. Exams are also easy if you follow along in lecture.Rate My Professors ↗

One of the best professors I've met in UW-Madison. Can make minor mistakes and is not tech-savvy due to mainly her age, but she is such a nice professor! She truly cares about your daily life and works out a schedule around you for the presentation, also allows you to choose the topic. Gives very great grades, if u want literature credit take this!Rate My Professors ↗

I loved her class. We had lots of tech issues but that was not her fault. She was very helpful and knowledgeable. She really had a passion for her subject and took the time to listen to all of her students. I would recommend her class. Tests are straight from the lecture and she is a fair grader. Go to class and no problems!Rate My Professors ↗

Professoressa Buccini is the sweetest woman one could ever meet. Initially, she may look intimidating but her loving personality and quirky sense of humor is unmatched.Rate My Professors ↗

We shall call her Queen Buccini and bow down before her. Very knowledgeable, helpful, and understanding. Ridiculously easy in-class midterm, and very broad take-home exams...Take her class!Rate My Professors ↗
