Usama Soltan

There were daily exercises just to apply the reading, which was really helpful to be able to gather the main points of the reading without reading every word. This was a very helpful introduction to what linguistics entails and I recommend it for anyone interested in how languages are structured or used.

Sultan is best prof in the dep. He was super chill and I learned so much. Class was always super fun. Lots of speaking which is great and we watched a lot of cultural videos. The readings in class were all interesting and at a good level. Would 1000% recommend. He's not very linenet if you miss class so be aware of that. Overall would take again. You got this Arabic students!!!

Professor Soltan was a delight. He has a very calm demeanor but clearly cares a lot about his work and students. The course was a very introductory overview of linguistic concepts. The work was very manageable, and I even enjoyed sections of our required textbook. Homework problem sets often felt like working out word puzzles. His grading is pretty fair, and in some cases I would say pretty easy. We had one 15 min group presentation and then a couple mini ones. Exams were low stress for me. As long as you keep up with your readings and pay attention in class, this is a great course.
