I had him for Ling 3B and I wish I can take his class again. Very funny, nice, easy-going teacher. You do not have much homework and will have a descent grade.

LING12 . Corona K D 1 Year, 6 Months Ago

Very easy grading, but this is the only reason I'm giving a 4. He forgot to post the instructions or the assignments so many times and the essay prompts were GTP-generated. And the instructions were not clear either bc there was one time when everyone did the assignment wrong. Avoid the asynchronous version of this class.

Great professor. All homework and the final project are graded based on completion. The first drafts of the two papers have an A average, and you can improve your grade with a revised version. An easy A if you write two papers properly and go to the CLAS for help/attend office hours when necessary!
