Past student reviews · Ernesto Livorni
Ernesto Livorni taught an Italian translated literature course featuring five to eight books and literature analysis papers. Students found his passionate, funny lectures interesting, with one noting they were not too difficult. The workload included a 10-12 page final paper, and the less structured format allowed for deep exploration of interests.
