Comment:
This professor knows an amazing amount about language and linguistics. She is funny and tries to explain concepts several different ways, but the subject matter is really abstract and so the class and quizzes are hard. Read the book and do the exercises to increase your odds of succeeding, and ask for help if needed--she will help you.

Comment:
She kept us updated on Blackboard but mostly the class was based on lecture. She said that if we did not attend we would have lots of difficulty doing well and this was true. Quizzes are tough but fair. The material is really different and difficult but she does a good job of explaining and is funny. Could be more prompt getting to class.

Comment:
I took this class last fall. I went into the topic with an armchair interest and left never wanting anything to do with Linguistics again. She at least admitted she didn't want to be in class either a lot of days. Lectures seem like duh, tests are hard. Do study groups! Go to class for the notes. She is a nice lady, just not a great professor. Also: start your 12 page paper ASAP.

Comment:
Linguistics is an extremely useful course and she does a good job of explaining hard concepts. Yes, the test are EXTREMELY hard. She teaches a concept and expects you to apply it in different situations than previously discussed in class. Which helped me retain the information and apply it to other courses. Unorganized but overall a good teacher.

Comment:
Her tests are ridiculous. They do not not seem to comply with the material covered. Her use of computers to relate course information is non existent. Powerpoint slides would have been helpful. I think she did not spend much time preparing for each lecture; she bargained that her expert knowledge was enough to carry her through each class session.

Comment:
She is an expert, and decent teacher. She is borderline unorganized. The class is dull, some fun; you have to attend! I started this course with high hopes, but struggled the further it went. Her lectures sound like "duh" concepts, but the exams test your retention. Choose a language for your 12 page paper early, and research immediately.

Extremely nice person, very, very smart, and pretty funny as well. Tries as hard as she can to help you pass her class. She's able to take a subject most dread and make it not so painful, notices extra effort, etc. Pretty good looking, too.

This professor is really engaging and knows an amazing amount about languages. Some of the topics are really difficult but she does a good job of explaining thingsmany different ways. I did thinkthat the class was a bit too fast-paced, especially because the information is all completely new.

Very nice lady (but quiet), remembers what it is like to be a student. Tests were easy if you paid attention and studied, papers graded kinda hard but regraded after corrections.
