UNM/CE Survey Question 2. What, if anything, did you like most about this program?

“Cristina is an outstanding instructor and I really enjoyed the class. I am eager to sign up for level two and so is my husband. The intention was to get a basic introduction to Italian and learn enough to travel in Italy this summer, and that was absolutely accomplished. Although there are always pros and cons to taking an online class, Cristina made the most of the digital format, and I found it was excellent. Christina is delightful, encouraging and an excellent instructor.” (High School Counselor, V.V.)

“The instructor, Cristina Baccin, was enthusiastic about teaching us and very kind when we made mistakes by gently correcting us. She was very proficient in utilizing online resources during Zoom meetings such as breakout rooms and online learning games.” (Retired Educator, N/A)

“The instructor is the best I’ve ever had. She NEVER demeans anyone, and even when a student’s answer is wrong, she is encouraging, uplifting and helpful.” (Healthcare, Doctor, F.S.)

“Engagement with every single student. Very encouraging.” (Lecturer, Healthcare & Education, S. N.)

“Professor” (Construction, D.V.)

“Overall, it was wonderful. There was laughter and a genuine sense of community. I noticed we lost some participants. I wondered why. The instructor was knowledgeable and very informative. I and others noticed the development of confidence, skill, pronunciation, and a fluidity that was a hallmark of the class. Breakout rooms were productive.” (N/A)
