Favourite professor so far. No tutorials but she encourages participation and discussion during lecture. Genuinely nice person and tries to remember your name. She's clearly very passionate about linguistics and her exams are straightforward - she even states her exams are to support our learning. Really want to take another course with her :)

Dr. Bliss is an awesome professor who is very knowledgeable about her field of work. The TA's in the class are super helpful, and along with Dr. Bliss try their best to help you understand many complex linguistic theories. It is definitely hard, but worth it if you are at all interested in learning linguistics. Pro Tip: learn IPA before class start

Take every class you can with Heather! The sweetest prof I have ever had and you can tell she cares about her students. 282W is a writing intensive course so there was a lot of material but Heather was always encouraging us to ask for help and truly wanted us to do well.

give her a raise. Heather is awesome and is flexible with your needs. Truly here to teach and make sure we understand content. She connects well with students and just wants the best for us. She's so smart and knows exactly what to say all the time. Gives great examples and explanations.

Prof Bliss is a kind and passionate prof! She really tries to make lectures interesting and engaging, and does a good job of incorporating popular culture and current slang. Her lecture notes are easy to follow and she encourages a lot of in-class participation and activities which is a nice way to connect to the material.

Dr. Bliss is an amazing professor who knows her subject well and is passionate about teaching to young minds. The grading was not too hard, I mostly had issues due to not being familiar with IPA (which you should learn before taking this class btw). Overall an amazing class and helped me to reignite my passion for linguistics.

She is very nice and gives answer keys for assignments and the midterm which was helpful. Tutorials were awesome and helpful. The final was very much like the midterm format but heavy on syntax/morphology/semantics. She kind of talks fast in class, but her lectures are straightforward. Taking her for LING282W next term.
