LING12 . Bowman I K 2 Years Ago

A very warm & welcoming professor who responded to emails quickly and was always there to help. I took LING10 Academic Reading & the course work seemed a little heavier than others, but doable. She's a tough grader, but as long as you're improving & participating especially, she's very nice. Her directions with work did seem unclear at times.

Good teaching? Yes. She knows how to teach writing for sure. Genuinely caring her students? Probably no. Make full use of her office hours and your tuition. A contrast in grading between her and another male lecturer Ingrid: several 70s, 80s on essay Another lecturer (I took his ling12): lowest to highest: 52-60 out of 60

Mrs. Bowman is an amazing instructor, she is very nice and helpful. She was always glad to help all of her students and happy to receive any suggestions about lectures. But I have to say, she is a tough grader. Anyway, her lectures were helpful and I like her.

She is a really good person! Caring, respond quick, give detailed feedback on everything. The class is not easy, two timed essay. But if you pay attention to everything in class, participate in seminar, and read all the reading (load is okay), you gonna be okay.
