Professor Poole is definitely a super organized instructor and even provides handouts so it's easier to take notes. This is my 2nd Ling class, Ling 20 being the first, and it's super easy to get confused and lost. Totally my fault but I wish he would dumb down his lectures a bit. It's hard to truly understand the topic when he's speaking in big words lol. I think he's just too smart to dumb it down though. Hoping and praying for a C!!!

class was extremely well organized and handouts were super helpful and comprehensive of the course material; I never felt like there was a problem on the homework that I was unequipped to solve. I fear lecture was super dry and homework did have to be turned in on paper in-person during lecture but otherwise attendance was not required. discussion attendance was also not required but you got homework points back if you did go, I was never stressed about my grade. goated prof

Honestly, I thought this class was pretty free. Ethan posts all the class materials on the course website, so I never felt the need to go to lecture even though they weren’t recorded. Homework had to be turned in physically at the beginning of lecture and you can recoup points if you attend discussion. Exams were also open note.
Overall, this class was never really something I had to worry about and I really enjoyed the content.
