I took this class for the minor and really enjoyed it since it was at a super relaxed pace but the topics were really interesting! Homework is mostly just readings, and our two quizzes were open note.

Professor Shapiro is such an amazing and passionate teacher, she puts all her energy into this course. The course is very interesting with concepts that connect to everyday activities. The class never felt heavy, but you do have to put in the work to get a good grade, but Shapiro is always there to help you out.

Shawna is a fantastic teacher, and this class is no exception. It is a great intro to sociolinguistics with a good balance of learning basic terms/concepts and applying those in your own projects. Not too much reading, and exams are very straightforward. Also a plus that there are no textbooks required.

Shawna is an amazing and pedagogically creative teacher. This class was super easy, light on readings, and I genuinely enjoyed the projects and papers. This class was never a source of stress and always something I looked forward too. She also brings in candy/other treats to class on a fairly regular basis so... Maybe not the most intellectually stimulating class I've ever taken but certainly one I would take again.
