LING320 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/08/2024 |
I took LING320 asynchronously with Bill, and it was a solid experience. The course just has you do one self-guided lab each week, which took about 1-3 hours each week, and then a final project of your choosing at the end of the semester. The material is cool but the labs can get a little tedious and repetitive. The TA could occasionally be really strict with grading the labs, but I still think I'll do fine in the class. He's super responsive when you email him and the few recorded lectures he provides, he speaks well. Honestly I just didn't learn that much from this class because the workload was really light and there wasn't too much of a need for like, watching lectures or taking notes or anything. The background you get in LING200/LING240 is enough to carry you most of the way through this class, and there's only a few new concepts that I really felt that I had to learn for this. Regardless, it was a decently cool class and never a burden, and I liked doing the final project, and I have nothing bad to say about Bill, but I honestly wish there was more content because I think there's room for it and I wish I learned more. |

He is very knowledgable about course material and explains things well. His tests are fair and relevant to the material we learned in that unit. |

Professor Idsardi really knows what he's doing. His lectures are in-depth and informative, with plenty of examples to demonstrate what he's talking about. The homework, which is fairly regular until the end of the course, is quite reasonable, and the tests focus on the central theme of each unit without incorporating side topis or requiring information from the other units. |
