Very easy class, only weekly readings and 500 word essays, two 1000 word essays for midterm/final, no tests. No textbook, mainly based on videos/discussion in class so go to class. Laura is a great professor.

Super cool class. Didn't read the book at all. Prof Robinson was really down to earth and managed to have a homey 150 person class where everyone was comfortable to speak up and ask questions.

Professor Robinson was amazing! She was so passionate about actually teaching and she really wanted us to do well! She had VERY clear lectures and everything that we learned was so interesting! She definitely knows her stuff!

Awesome professor, enthusiastic about the subject, uses fun examples, all around good class.

Amazing class! High recommended, assignments are fairly easy and require little studying. Textbook is very helpful as well as the midterm and final study guides she provides. Professor keeps the class engaged and there is rarely a dull moment. Definitely increased my interest in Linguistics.

Very clear, not incredibly well-versed on the subject but goes out of her way to be prepared for any questions she gets. Attendance is by iclicker periodically throughout the class, careful not to miss one or your participation grade suffers. Midterm and final incredibly easy. She's thoughtful about how much work she gives as well.
