Reviews of professor Benjamin Nugent

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
he's a friendly guy and very open-minded. straight forward class structure (lectures, readings, exams, and in-class short writings). however, i did not know what i needed to improve on, as there was no actual feedback on exams scores (test are heavily weighted toward grade). all he said to prepare for examto be able to explain to "explain" topics.

I wasn't really interested in linguistics(304), so I took 410 instead. Glad that I did, the material was interesting. It is primarily lecture and 3 exams which are worth 100 pts each. However, there are a few in-class short write-ups, approx. 10 pts each. No study guides, exams were short answer and a few multi-choice. No real feedback on exams.

This was a hybrid course which meant he spent 50 minutes talking each class period, very little time for in-class discussions. There were a few blackboard discussions and journals based on the readings and lectures. 3 exams. Posts lectures to blackboard. Not much feedback on work.
