She clearly cares a LOT about linguistics. Her lectures are always interesting, and information is easy to understand. Tests & assignments are not too hard.

Marisa is great! She is very understanding and passionate about linguistics. Her slides are well structured, and they are so good that as long as you go to lectures, you'll ace the class. Honestly, the class is very low on effort, and she is always glad to help if you have any complaints. She also has a very generous extension policy.

I am taking a course with her the second time. Absolutely fantastic, both as a person in general and as a professor. She actually cares the students, give super helpful advices if you go to office hours, and her lecture materials are not only intellectually appropriate, but also fun. Would definitely have her a third time if possible.

Prof Brook is the nicest person I have ever met at UofT. She is accessible outside class, responds to emails and questions fast. She really cares about students' feelings and wants students to do well. I took this course cuz I heard that it's bird, but not really. The test is very hard but the assignment is okay. Overall she is an amazing prof.

I took LIN251 with Marisa and am taking her again in LIN351. She's very caring and accessible, although she's indeed a tough grader and the tests are somehow hard. But her slides are really well organized and make the conceptions easy to understand. It would be a good experience taking her courses anyway
