Reviews of professor Sarah Fruner

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This class is not for beginners! I am taking her for IT111 and she moves very fast. Does not translate anything into English. She assumes you understand everything instantly and doesn't spend time reviewing. Especially for her tests. Which are difficult (only fluent Italian) and you have to memorize tons of vocabulary. She is very nice, but strict.

Professor Fruner does not go over things twice even if the entire class doesnt understand something. She moves over topics without explaining or giving proper notes. The class has a test every single week, so if you miss class or dont understand what you just learned, you fail the test. DO NOT take if you dont already know Italian.

If you actually want to learn some Italian, take her. If you don't, then don't. Yes, her class is hard but so is learning a language. It takes time and practice - personally, her teaching style pushes me to stay on top of it. I was honestly sad to see such bad reviews for her, she's funny and you can tell she cares for her students.

Professor Fruner does not take criticism from her students well at all. Any recommendations a student had was shut down. She has one way to do things and that is all. She is very passionate about Italian but she acted as if everyone in the class already knew Italian. This class is the worst Ive done in my three years of college so far.

Let's start this off by saying that I LOVE Italian. I studied the language/culture extensively in high school and all I can say is that Professor Fruner ruined my love for the subject. She mocks students' misunderstandings and doesn't teach in an appropriate format for Elementary Italian. She is so rude and takes pride in letting students fail.
