Shawna was very high energy and her enthusiasm for sociolinguistics was contagious. She was great at facilitating discussions – the class rarely felt like a lecture, but rather a conversation between professor and students. The readings were interesting and the final research project can be geared toward your own personal interests.
I thought this class was very helpful and a great CW to take. No tests and primarily just went readings + discussions throughout. Professor Shapiro was very understanding and accommodating, and you can infinitely revise any paper.
This is a very easy class, but there are still some interesting takeaways from the class, and I found myself learning a lot more than I expected to. Prof. Shapiro is great, and she cares a lot about her students. It's pretty easy to check out of this class, but if you put some interest in, it's actually pretty fun.
