Evaluation Comments for Van Order M

  1. Prof. Van Order is very fun and interesting. He is a great teacher and it is very enjoyable and easy-going in his class. You also learn a lot too... I'm going to try to take another from him...
  2. Prof. Van Order is AMAZING! he made beginning italian so much fun and my favorite class for the semester. The work load isn't bad and you still learn alot throughout the semester.
  3. Van Order is really great. He's very friendly and teaches the material well. You read the sentence structure and vocabulary in the textbook and then basically re-learn them again and practice in class. We also sang songs every day which was fun. He won't cheat you on your grades--if you mess up in the written assignments or quizzes he'll mark you down for it, but he's always fair. Overall a really great class that I enjoyed a lot. If you take this class, don't hesitate to go to his office sometimes because he is very nice and will explain a concept in english if you need help.
  4. I absolutely love Van Order. He makes class so much fun, especially with music, and he's just a really funny guy. He also teaches all the material in a way that makes it very clear. Take Italian with Van Order if you can, although all the professors in the Italian department are good.
  5. Italian is great with anyone, but if you like to sing, Van Order is for you. I didn't think I'd like to sing but by the end of J-term...
  6. I took this class on a whim and it was the best academic decision I have made. Van Order is the man. He's very expressive and his classes are always enjoyable. He does a great job teaching the material and makes it fun in the process, with songs, pictionary, dialogues, etc. However, it is an intro language course, so don't fall behind. Things get very difficult very quickly if you miss many classes or don't do homework for a week. All in all, a great course, an awesome professor, and I'm considering being an Italian minor after taking this class.
  7. Van Order is a GEM of a professor. One of the funniest profs ive had in a long time, he really gets you into learning italian. he includes everyone so theres always lots of class participation, instead of him lecturing to the students, and his quizzes are fair but require you to know your stuff really well. my favourite class by far. take italian - and take it with Van Order!!!
  8. He made me wanna major in Italian!!!!!!!!
