I have the best part-time job ever

Sometimes I think I should just teach Italian forever. But I feel like my favorite part-time job might not translate as well to a full time career. MCAT a week from today!

004 professor white is awesome
004 I just want to say that Professor White was an excellent professor. I have observed other student teachers before and he is one of the best I have seen.
004 Professor White is the best Italian professor at BYU! He is very good at what he teaches (he sounds Italian!) and is willing to help whenever needed. I would most definitely recommend him to everyone wanting to take Italian.
004 Good teacher. Knows how to explain things correctly and in an efficient manner for all to understand. A lot of busy work but I guess you need in a class like this.
004 I felt that you did a good job of explaining things even though everything was in Italian. You kept your explanations simple and basic which helped. Also, I'm impressed that you stuck to speaking 100% Italian every class; I thought you would stray into English explanations more often to help clarify. But you didn't so that also really forced us to pay attention and learn quickly. The activities and frequent interaction with classmates helped to clarify new concepts and instill understanding. I loved learning a little about the culture and country itself, too (as opposed to learning just the language).

I do have one small suggestion that may or may not be good. I know we can email or talk to you in person, but I think opening up Monday class with any questions students may have had about the previous week's on-line homework would be a good way to make sure we understood what we learned. I know after I did the homework I sometimes had a question about something but forgot to email or ask you. Following up on Monday might help, I don't know.

Other than that I can't think of any other improvements. I really enjoyed this class and learned a lot. Thanks for all your time, effort, and enthusiasm Prof. White!
004 Great job Professor White -- you handled the class wonderfully. Grazie!
004 Professor White was an exceptional teacher. Learning a language is very difficult but he made it as easy as possible. I thoroughly enjoyed this class!
004 This class was great. I learned so much but never felt overwhelmed by the subject matter. Professor White is an excellent teacher. I have taken foreign language classes before and Professor White is one of the best teachers I have had. This class is well organized, well taught, and a lot of fun. I am excited to take the next Italian class.
004 This was one of my favorite classes this semester, and I really learned a lot!
004 Professor White is one of the best instructors I have had at BYU. I decided to take Italian for fun, and did not have much background knowledge about it. Through his teaching strategies, I was able to understand the course materials and do well in the class.
