Definitely my all time favorite teacher. To all of those who complain...yes, I remember you...you were the ones who didn't do the homework assignment and then were mad because you were called on it! I found Possiedi to be a walking encyclopedia, and learned more from this man than I have with any other teacher. Amazing prof. if you put in the work.

Comment:
His favorite phrase is "JESUS CHRIST!".. he's a funny guy at times, but a little unclear in his teachings.. you really have to teach yourself.. be forewarned he likes to catch people off guard who aren't paying attention or haven't done lab work and embarress you a bit...

Seems kind of mean since he calls on people at random all of the time, but he only does that to help you and get you to do the homework. Doesn't assign a lot of work and the written part of tests are straight from notes and hw. Go to him for help and he's really friendly. Pretty funny guy too.

I agree with the recent posts. I didn't see what these people saw in this professor. He wasn't helpful, not clear at all, wants you to buy literally 10 books totalling around $500 (because his department prints them), and assigns too much work. If you want an easy, good professor, look elsewhere.

I have no clue why everyone likes this professor. He teaches the class very unclearly and he expects you to know the whole Italian language. Every foreign language teacher at MSU is like this anyway.

Honestly, he's straight out of Italy. Typical italian old guy, stubron and doesnt listen. He knows the language too well and doesnt know how to teach it. I'm an a-b student and he gave me a D-...I'm not happy. I dont reccomend him---good luck if you do have him though

This class requires a lot of homework and studying to keep up, but it is worth it. Pay attention and do all the work to avoid getting picked on and made to look stupid. Tests are easy and he is a fair grader. He will leave the room if no one is paying attention!

You can pass the class without doing much work, but often he will call on you in class and expect you to know the whole Italian language.

He is soo funny. At first he seems like a jerk, but pnce you start joking around with him he lightens up. I had so much fun in class, although it is kind of hard.
