Reviews of professor Justin McIntosh

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Really interesting prof, talks about his studies often. Very easy class with weekly quizzes, one midterm, one final, and a 750-word autobiography about your experience with language. All quizzes and exams are open note and involve some questions from readings.

He is awesome! Lign 8 was a great class. Attendance isn't "mandatory" but if you don't go to class, you will miss out on the password for the quizzes which actually add up. Homework is every two weeks but it is all based off of the lectures. Lectures are extremely in-depth but they are really interesting! I'd recommend for sure.

I took this course summer 2024, so it was 5 weeks instead of 10. even though it was in half the time as a normal quarter, i thought this class was totally manageable. the midterm, quizzes, and HW were open notes, & there was no final (save the paper). weekly quizzes were pretty tough but he drops the lowest grade. really fun prof and awesome lecs.

Professor McIntosh definitely deserves a 5! I would say this course is an easy A if you pay some attention to the lectures or slides. Lectures are great, no tricky homework or quiz at all. He really cares about students and values everyone's opinion. If you're looking for a course to fulfill DEI, don't hesitate to take LIGN8 with him.

Great professor, he doesn't do recorded lectures but he posts the slides online. I would miss this class a lot which is why I got a C+. He assigned readings that I don't think anyone did. He had weekly quizzes of like 5 questions and a bi-weekly homework assignment (20Q). 1 midterm 1 multiple choice final (both take at home) and a 3pg final paper.

I took this class as an elective. The readings were a little dry but not horribly.

Pretty easy class, 1 midterm, 1 final (Both online, take home, and open note), 1 (750 word)autobiography paper, participation isn't mandatory but the lectures are extremely interesting. Prof. cares about students and our well-being. This is a must take class!

He reads his content to class, it is very boring. Class is a DEI requirement, be ready for social justice discussions. The main thing is an autobiography in which you have to integrate some of the DEI concepts discussed in class, so if you don't have anything related, you won't do well. He and his TAs were overlwhelmed with the size of the class.
