This class is pretty easy. The professor clearly shows that she likes what she is teaching. The exams are really straight forward and easy except for the phonology exam, I myself struggle a little on it but its open book and take home.
I took this class because I heard it was easy and needed something to fill the schedule. The professor is super nice and the only real assignments outside of some easy things here and there are the exams. If you use the book and pay somewhat attention it's very do-able but as someone who wasn't paying much attention, I still learned a good amount.
Elements of the curriculum were engaging, even to a person who had never taken a class in linguistics or anthropology. While she was very passionate about her subject, the Professor's lectures were not engaging. 4 papers total, grading was fair but it was difficult to discern her expectations.
