Reviews of professor Laura Ruth-Hirrel

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She a great professor, she write the information down on the board when my interpreter did not show up. She give her students to write the essay again. She give full grade point again for re-write essay again.

She is really unorganized and her lectures are always unclear. She also goes way too fast on her slides. This was an extremely hard class for me. I recommend you take this class with another professor because her teaching style is not the best.

She is an amazing proffecor. She knows a lot about her subject and she teaches it the way that it would be interesting to the class.

Professor Hirrel is knowledgeable and as a person, very kind-hearted. Without any doubt, very much she cares about her students' success. I am taking more classes with her.

Clear grading criteria. Makes you get two books that will have quizzes. 2 exams but gives an exam review that will be true or false. Quizzes are a bit hard and she's not the best organizer but her class is easy and I'm not a criminal justice major.

Professor Ruth-Hirrel was an excellent sociolinguistics prof. Lectures and reading assignments gave a great intro to sociolinguistics: history, methodologies, assessment of data, and topics, all showing us why language matters. Through two research projects, students could explore their interests, such as dialect studies and intraspeaker variation.

Professor Hirrel is new to the Linguistics department. She is a kind professor who really wants to see her students succeed. Although the material is a bit difficult to understand, she tries her best to make sure we understand it. No tests but her homework assignments are like take home tests. Overall she's a lovely professor!
