Reviews of professor Deo Ngonyani

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Very hard course but some how I got a 4.0. Deo is very nice and caring but he was hard to follow at times. There was two midterms and a final. There are also weekly asssignments that definetly take a long time to complete.

Deo is super funny and easy to get along with. He has a lot of experience in the field of linguistics and is a really interesting and intelligent person. He is very picky about the formatting of his assignments but once you figure that out the class is not that difficult. Also if you participate he'll definitely like you more.

Workbook that he makes you buy does not follow what is going on in class and he is very disorganized.

I don't see what the problem is. Yes, morphology is confusing. That's linguistics. As long as you can argue for your case (no pun intended lol) and you follow the rubric for papers, you should be fine. Both TA Jason and Mwalimu Deo were receptive to emails asking for help. I loved this class. It was challenging but I learned a ton.
