Regina Ianozi GERM302 John Snyder 04/06/2013	I took several classes with Regina and would highly recommend her as a teacher. She clearly has a passion for teaching, which makes all the difference when engaging people at varying ability levels simultaneously. Regina is extremely personable and is very good at keeping students interested in the material. This was accomplished by fostering a very open environment, in which all students were highly encouraged to participate. This classroom experience allowed for a constant exchange of ideas and different perspectives. If you are willing to put the effort in and genuinely want to learn, then you will definitely enjoy any class with Regina.
Regina Ianozi GERM302 Ben_Austin 03/04/2013	I had German 302 and German 204 with Regina in 2011, and made extraordinary progress during this time thanks to her teaching. Today, two years later, I use the language professionally. We had fascinating reading material, got an excellent overview of German literary history, and had every opportunity to expand our knowledge of the language. As several commenters below have mentioned, she is quite good at managing a class with students on varying German levels so that no one is bored or completely lost. You'll notice that the only negative commenters are people who haven't mastered English; perhaps language learning wasn't their calling. You should take her classes if you are truly interested in learning the language, not if you're just lazily checking boxes on the way to graduation, because you will really be expected to apply yourself. The effort pays dividends, and is also be a genuine enjoyment.
Regina Ianozi GERM302 tah89 11/02/2012	Regina was one of the best German teachers I ever had. She spoke and taught German extremely well and was truly passionate about all of her subject material. The German literature she chose was always interesting to read, and she was really good at being available for office hours or after class for extra help. Class participation is very important to her because she wants to make sure people are really learning and comprehending the material. Her classes are not easy, expect to earn your grade! But there is no reason you shouldn't be able to succeed if you put in the effort. Also it just needs to be said that the fact that she is Russian is irrelevant and the idea that she hates Germans is honestly crazy.
Regina Ianozi GERM302 rundfunk13 11/02/2012	Regina is a great teacher. She has a firm handle on the material and high expectations for her students. She is very nice and open to feedback, and she grades fairly. She also has a strong passion for the language, which shines through in her lessons. I took both 302 and 322 with Regina, so I got to see her teaching both a Conversation and Composition class and a Literature class. The best thing about Regina was that she pushed me to potential when I honestly wasn't working as hard as I could have been in the literature. She encouraged me to put more effort into class preparation and studying, and it really paid off for me. I feel like it was a lesson I needed at the time, and my German improved as a direct result. I wish other teachers had pushed me similarly! You do need to come prepared to class (when don't you?), but what you need to have is spelled out in her syllabus. Overall I was glad to take Regina's classes and they helped prepare me for studying abroad.
Regina Ianozi GERM302 Anonymous 10/09/2012	Well, Regina is a very incompetent teacher. I know her well (former classmate of mine). She sure doesn't know what she is talking about and I am shocked that she is really teaching. I remember several classes with her. Fact is, that she is very nervous because she doesn't know her teaching material well. I am sorry to say this, but I don't really think that you guys will learn intense enough. Yes, she is not German she is Russian and honestly I really don't understand why she is teaching German knowing that she shows hatred toward the German nation. She can be very nice, but I don't think that this characteristic will help you in your studies. Sorry, that I can't give any positive annotations.
Regina Ianozi GERM302 Expecting an A ajs1021 04/29/2010	A truly professional and nice teacher, but does have high expectations when it comes to being punctual and prepared for class. Tests are usually easy and she grades fairly.
Regina Ianozi GERM302 Anonymous 01/22/2010	HORRIBLE TEACHER! Firstly, shes not even a professor, she's just a TA that has too much power and little teaching skills to be giving grades. She is so insecure about her teaching skills. She stutters so much b/c she is nervous and then gets angry at the class if you dont participate. She doesnt know what she is talking about, and is very biased towards Germans. Its like she doesnt like them, but yet teaches a GERM class. (oh btw she is not german).Then she doesnt tell you what is due for homework until two days before it is due. NO organized syllabus! She would email the class on Sunday night what was due for homework on the folowing Tuesday. Also, she would extend class 10-15mins every day cause she never kept track of time. Totally selfish, like ppl dont have more classes than hers. Then the lecture consists of her reading from a powerpoint WORD FOR WORD! Take Moyer for this class, she knows her stuff, she is very confident, she speaks Germ beautifully and she gives you a syllabus with the homework for throughout the semester. Iaonzi is just a nervous reck that needs to pick a different career!
