Great & funny guy, good area C GE since you're not really doing math. Class can be VERY tiresome because the topic isn't all that interesting. Exams are short and not heavily weighted. Bombed my exams and still got a B. Short weekly online quizzes you can redo until you get full points. Can be confusing at times but would recommend. He loves memes!

Slideshow with no pictures guide lectures. Material is generally dry for someone with basic background knowledge in linguistics, with occasional jokes. Concepts are well explained with examples used to parse out distinctions. Weekly checkpoints have an unlimited number of attempts and usually detailed feedback.

While not many students would attend his lectures in-person but rather online via zoom. He seems very passionate about teaching the material. Easy GE class to take by just being graded on a few things: weekly checkpoint quizzes, midterm, and a final along with your section attendance.

Super flexible, caring, understanding of student's situations and worries about covid. Tried very hard to relate to students and make it an enjoyable experience. Lectures and slides were posted and they had all the information you needed. Great professor, highly recommend.

Lecture always recorded, sections optional if make-up work is done. Prof was very communicative and wanted to give easy points where he could. Pretty flexible and nice! Grading was a little inconsistent though... Super difficult midterm (5+ hours, scored a C) but final was a breeze (30 min, scored an A+). Content was clear.
