In this section, Dr. Rebusco discusses what she learned from teaching this class, and what changes she might make to future versions of the course.
Time Management/Students’ Energy Levels
"So it really depended on me, on my energy level to keep them focused and not only enthusiastic, but really concentrate on what we were doing."
Dr. Rebusco explains the difficulties she faced in fitting activities into the class period and how she kept students’ energy levels up.
Teaching Italian Grammar
"So I am used to thinking of the language in terms of the different components. And I notice that maybe that’s not so common among the students here."
Dr. Rebusco discusses the challenges of teaching the basics of Italian grammar to American and international students.
Future Versions of the Course
"So I think that maybe based on the next generation of students that will take the class, I may decide to change one dish or introduce a different topic."
Dr. Rebusco explores the changes she might make to future versions of the course.
