I was emailing the professor early now that I found out who is teaching the course. She emails me back saying that she expects her students to be able to read in fluent Italian..................

Maybe if I bang my head enough on my desk, I'll be teleported back in the US and not in Reading, where study abroad offices seem to consist of people who are completely incapable of doing their only job, which consists of making sure foreign students that come to this university aren't dicked over. Ughhhh
How can you expect a course in Italian literature to cover something other than Italian books. >_>

Could you expect someone to follow an English literature course without being able to read in English?
Italian literature translated? I've taken courses where I've had to read books in English that were originally in another language such as French, or Russian.

Half of my last course was books translated from Greek into English. xD
