This class was really interesting, but it is a lot like LING 70 if you have taken that class before. This was my first upper division class and it was still very manageable. She is super accommodating and very knowledgeable.
super easy class, no midterm or final just group projects and writing assignments.
One of the best professors at UCSB. She clearly cares about her students and understands the struggles that students go through in college. The actual class is easy, lots of random work but easy stuff. Easy A, just show up and do your assignments.
Mary is super sweet, and made 3 hour lectures at 5pm bearable. The class is sort of just one huge discussion, almost like group therapy. Everyone speaks up and supports one another, and the linguistic concepts are pretty easy to understand. A really cool class.
