Although it's suppose to be an intro course to coding using Rstudio, it definitely didn't feel like it. If you have no background in coding, it will be very time consuming to understand. Make sure not to miss class because he goes over a lot of information during lecture.

This was a good class. Make sure you don't miss class and do the readings in advance. If you don't understand something go to office hours, super helpful. He is a shy guy, but very knowledgeable. I wish we did more discussion (less papers more in depth?), but some people never participate. On the superficial side, cute eyes and hot body!

This dude is so ugly it makes the class unbearable. Furthermore, this accent is awful! How can you teach linguistics and speak like that? My theory is he had several concussions years ago but the university is scared to fire him

Boring lectures. Too wordy.

This class depends heavily on self-learning, but the professor and TA are very helpful

If you are serious about learning how to properly analyze (linguistic) data, there is no one who will teach you as accessibly and efficiently as Prof. Gries. The class requires some stamina, but if you are willing invest some time, it is an outstanding learning opportunity.
