The syllabus is clear, but lectures only slides. Midterm, quizzes all easy. TA's grade everything and on that 750-word essay it's annoying bc don't write in general, write to get rubric points. Emphasize personal "stories" "journey" lol. They take linguistic and language development so intrinsically. Mid/boring course, other ratings exaggerate.

never attended any lectures, the hw (based on correctness) was more tedious work than it was difficult, but if you go through the slides (very dense) and do your hw along with it, it should be easy. generous with extra credit (2% xtra from surveys + more from exams/hw), final was the same format as the hw and was open book. easy A if you ace the hw

He is very passionate about the course and a caring teacher. There is biweekly multiple choice homework, an autobiographical paper, and participation quizzes. The midterm might be online (ours was supposed to be in-person) but the midterm and final are multiple choice. You could probably get away with not reading all of the readings too.

I dunno why this man doesnt have a 5 the fck, super kind, great intro-spect with disparities in the social world, & doesnt play that yt savior junk. Just read, do your notes, & minimum memorization (or not cuz open notes!) and youre good

Nice guy but I think it was foolish for him to set up his office hours right after a 3-4h lecture (4 with practice session) . It's hard to force yourself to show up to office hours or extra practice sessions after 3 grueling hours of lecture. I had a lot going on during his class so it was tricky. If you try hard you can do better than me.

I will definitely take his classes in the future. Lectures are really interesting and he explains the content well. Quizzes and homeworks are based on his lectures and there are extra credit opportunities. Highly recommended!!

Very easy DEI course. Definitely a good class to take. Professor himself is pretty cool and is very interested in the topic he teaches.

Very good professor. Exams are done online and are not timed. Quizzes and homework are a bit time consuming but simple. You put in the effort you'll get the grade you want.
