Reviews of professor Vitamaria Semeraro

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Once told us a quiz was canceled a week prior & then emailed an hour before class saying it was back on. Takes forever to grade HW & events. Doesn't give full credit for participation even if you answer a lot. Lots of info in lectures, very fast & I took 2 yrs of Ital in HS. If you email for help before class she will say yes but show up late.

Professor Semeraro is a nice lady, but she goes through things quick. You have about 2 class periods (only meet once a week 5:30-8) to learn an entire chapter. Theres practically a quiz every other week. If you want a good grade in this class you really need to put in the effort. It is not an easy-A whatsoever

Had her 4 a few months in 8th grade, 2017-18. My original teach moved abruptly, so Vita was quickly rushed in as a sub. Can't remember what the classwork was like since it was so long ago but she was really nice and fun. She did take forever to grade though. She was EZ 2 pass but then again I was really good @ Italian so it was already EZ.

Professor Semeraro was a very nice person but as a teacher, I have a lot of complaints. She gives you homework to do when she hasnt even taught you lesson. Her quizzes are all open-ended format. She doesn't really make sure the class understands the material she would just move on to the next lesson. I wouldnt take her again.

Prof. Semeraro really cares about her students. If you put in effort she will help you!!!! Only downside is that she gives lots of homework, but gives you a fair timeframe to complete it. Would definitely take her class again.

I dropped one of my classes and chose her class immediately. She is very nice and caring if you show that you want to learn and you pay attention. Definitely participate and pay attention, it will help for each chapter test at the end. One midterm, one final, and an oral interview she lets you bring notecards. Take notes and be prepared !!
