Reviews of professor Lianca Carlesi

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
She is great! From Italy so she knows what she's talking about... connects real life to curriculum. I'll be taking her 103 class. The class is not hard if you listen in class. I barely skimmed the textbook 99% of the time and was fine, although you'll be more prepared if you do the notes the night before like she expects. Overall, great prof!

Would not recommend.Take Piero instead if you can. She is nice but she teaches too fast and she grades so much harder then the other Italian professors on exams. She makes every student speak in class and corrects you if you are wrong in front of the class which is kinda annoying.

Super nice and talks in both Italian and English. If you are at least willing to try you will pass.

Lianca was a very nice lady and really cares about her students, but she does not teach. The way the class works is that you do online homework before each class and then she gives you even more exercises on the specific topic the homework was on. Never goes over the homework and occasionally reviews the topic the homework was on in class

She is super nice!! Her teaching style its not the best she shows you something new for 20 minutes and expects you to understand everything. She does not give a good explanation of topics and tests are super hard. She mainly speaks in Italian but most of the time we can't understand her so she switches to English.

I had her for itl 101; she made an already very tough course even tougher, does not know how to give notes or explain the subject matter, you're probably better off taking the class with someone else, overall her class was not a pleasant experience

Lianca is actually a really good professor. Most Italian college professors speak only in Italian, which she does not do. Classes aren't set up lecture style, so you're expected to have done the prep work and come to class ready to participate. Overall, not a hard class to take, would definitely recommend her.

Lianca is super nice but is hands down the worst Professor I have yet to encounter. She expects you to read the textbook and teach yourself before class. Her exams and quizzes are more difficult than necessary and her exams are weighted heavily. Overall a very nice person but I would NOT recommend her to anyone.
