Reviews of professor Maria Del Mar Bassa

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prof. Mar teaches really well and ensures that the concepts are simplified, for us to have a better understanding of it. Tests are very straightforward and grading is also very clear. We didn't have finals for this class. If you plan on taking intro to linguistics, do take it with her.

Mar was an excellent professor most of the time but there were a few occasions where she struggled to clearly explain the material to the class. She has a lot of knowledge about linguistics and is clearly passionate about the subject. She handled the transition to remote learning well and took excellent care of her students.

My favorite class so far! She is so personable and knowledgeable. I found the class to have entirely new information, but I was never overwhelmed. She drew on class experience and valuable individual stories. I would def recommend taking classes with her, especially Span270!

Even though most people in the class are just trying to fulfill the language requirement, she goes out of her way to make the class fun and entertaining for everyone. The only thing I would say is that she assigns so much textbook assignments which is what makes the class very time consuming.
