Andrea's class is so helpful. She expect us to work hard and is very fair grader. I went to office hours and she spends a lot of time working with me individually. I learnt a lot of styles I didn't learn in other linguistic classes, so it was really helpful. I was bored about the other Ling classes but this one was fun because Andrea is passionate.
I tried my best and I went to all her office hours. She barely helped and was quite rude to the non-american speakers. She was very arrogant and expected the students to know already. Save yourself and do not take this class
She wants to help but she does not know how to help at all... She is really passive aggressive and she is mean to non English speakers. Very mean. I would not recommend this class to any student. I do not hate her but her actions are very mean towards the students.
Nicolaescu teaches nothing during the class and gives two chapters of grammar exercise every week plus normal homework.
Too much writings at class. Tough grader.
