Reviews of professor James Kriesel

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Great teacher. Does a really good job of making sure all students understand the material before moving on. Very good at finding ways to explain what a word or phrase means, without directly translating it to English, in order to make the student think in Italian.

Kriesel is unlike any other professor. He cares so deeply for his students and wants them to succeed. I DID NOT belong in this class and he made each class understandable to both the high level and lower level Italian speakers. Definitely taking him again.

Probably my favorite teacher freshman year. He did a great job of bonding with his students and making sure they understood the material without directly translating to English. Just don't use your phone in class because he knows and takes points off but doesn't call you out.
