Reviews of professor Marisa Brook

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took the course for BR2 and she is a really nice prof! She replies to emails quickly and answers all kinds of questions with patience! A very enthusiastic lecturer. However, she is quite a tough grader.

Prof Brook is probably one of the nicest and most wonderful human beings on this planet. She's truly caring and supportive towards her students. I took 3 courses with her already and each time I learned so much from her. She's always eager to share the newest and most fascinating findings in her field. She made sociolinguistics fun and exciting.

Lecture material and slides are incredibly long and dense, midterm was extremely hard, it was online and open book but class average was 30-35%, she boosted everyone, but the new average was still low. Questions are hella abstract. Dont take as an elective! Shes sweet and gives extensions on papers easily, but tests are out of this world.

She's an absolute gem. This was my second course with her. I even ended up reaching out to her after school was done for a letter of recommendation for my Master's applications, and she was so happy to and even gave me fantastic advice about my statement of intent and my future in general. You won't find a better teacher.
