Shawna is absolutely amazing. I have taken a couple of classes with her and cannot say a single negative thing about her. She's very positive and accommodating to all of the students in her class(even those who don't deserve it). While this class was fairly easy, I do think Shawna made it a very enjoyable experience. If you want to experience a textbook example of an amazing supportive professor, you should definitely take a class with Shawna.

This is a wonderful introductory course to linguistics. We covered a wide range of topics including language variation, multilingualism, and how language relates to gender and power. Classes are very discussion-focused. We had 3 projects (group work presentation + scrapbook entries due in phases + personal project) and 1 quiz that allowed a cheat sheet. Prof. Shapiro is a very enthusiastic instructor and caring towards students, handing out printed notes at the start of class that cover the main points in her lectures and often sharing treats. Classes start with practicing mindfulness so that everyone can be more relaxed and focused.

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.
