Professor Mithun is a wonderful teacher. She is so knowledgeable and caring. She offers a lot of extra credit and truly wants your to learn and succeed. Make sure you go to lecture, and try understand corrections to assignments in office hours or section. Definitely one of my favorite classes and professors.

A very chill class. No final, no midterm. Just a few assignments, readings and a final project. Dr. Mithun is very passionate about North American indigenous languages. The lectures are very intriguing and mind-blowing.

Prof Mithun is super enthusiastic about teaching, and she is very caring to students. You will get a very helpful response as long as you reach out. There is lots of homework every week but it is actually really fun, just like solving puzzles. The exams are not hard compared with her homework

Marianne is one of the best professors out there. She's challenging but is like an encyclopedia of linguistics knowledge. You can tell there are wheels turning in her head that are far above the level of the class, but she explains really well and is always happy to answer questions and provide examples. Difficult assignments, but I enjoyed them.

Marianne is amazing. Yeah, the material, homeworks and tests are challenging, but she's really helpful at office hours and will make sure you know the material well. Insanely smart, knows everything about every language on earth.
