Reviews of professor Serena Dal Pont

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
serena is my fav prof i have ever had. had her for 1115 and 1225 and she is like a mom to me at OU. she cares so much and makes an effort to connect with her students. she takes time to ensure everyone understands and doesnt grade too harshly since she knows its a hard course. be prepared to speak in class but dont be afraid because she is so kind

Not the best at giving practice for learning the basics of Italian. She also didn't exactly enforce the attendance policy, so people started skipping way too often, but after the final, she turned around and emailed us that she still had to put in attendance grades which probably weren't good for some. A super caring and understanding person though

Did all she could for the people struggling through their last semester of gen-ed language credit. Offered to check over all writing assignments and was very flexible with scheduling oral exams. Sometimes I really questioned how much I learned in the class, but I guess I was learning enough. Wish we practiced speaking and reading in class more

If you are taking this class with Serena you will learn a lot, you just have to commit to participating when it matters. She is very nice and will always do her best to help you understand course concepts - and will walk you through things if needed in office hours. Can't say enough good things about her, she's the best in the Italian program at OU

The Italian department at OU is amazing and Serena is one of the best. She is so nice and wholesome and really cares about the class and her students. The class is hard cause is third semester and so it's a lot of grammar, but she does a great job of teaching the concepts and making sure we understood it. Literally an angel I so recommend.

The best professor I have had at OU. She loves each of her students and cares about our knowledge of the language. She is like a second mother. The best professor to have! The grading is not harsh at all, and she helps you so much with learning the language.

If you took Italian 1 and 2, then you will do fine in Italian 3, if anything, better. Ital2113 gets easier throughout the semester and Serena said so herself, so just put the effort in and you can do it. I recommend going to tutoring or office hours if you struggle cause it def helps a lot!

An absolutely terrific professor. She is extremely helpful in helping you understand course material, extremely accessible outside of class. If you go to class and get help if you don't understand anything, you won't have a problem passing
