Reviews of professor Silva Emiliani-Mowrey

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professoressa Mowrey is such a kind teacher and really cares about her students. That being said, do not expect this class to be incredibly easy. At times, lectures are almost completely spoken in Italian. Make sure to complete all homework and take advantage of every extra credit opportunity to get the grade you want. Prior experience recommended.

Ms. Silva Emiliani-Mowrey is a very kind teacher and cares a lot about her students, but she is difficult for those who have not taken an Italian or any foreign language before. Most lectures are primarily taught in Italian, and pronunciation was not reviewed. There is a decent amount of homework after each lecture but it offers multiple attempts.

Professor Emiliani-Mowrey is a very sweet lady, but as someone with no prior knowledge of Italian, I have found the class to be extremely challenging. Majority of the class is spoken in purely Italian, and tests are difficult even with proper studying. It requires a real understanding of Italian to do well even though it's Elementary Italian.

This professor is very nice and caring, however expects a lot out of her students. She tries to keep her lectures strictly in Italian, unless students really don't understand a concept. She gives a lot of homework, but it really does help! Make sure you do the assignments and study for orals, tests and even quizzes! Always makes class fun!
