I was told that this class would be an incredibly easy GE and that I wouldn't have to put in any work to get an A. That is not true at all. The content of this class is very difficult and takes a significant amount of time to learn, especially phonetics. While the homework and the worksheets were easy, the midterms and finals were not, so I would only reccomend taking this class if you're really into linguistics.

Fairly easy class. The lectures were online and discussion was not mandatory. There were 2 papers, a midterm and final exam. The papers were not bad, the TAs give lots of support. The exams were very fair and not bad. The content gets more advanced week 6 and beyond and you do have to put effort into learning the material but not hard to do well. It's online which I really liked and overall enjoyed taking ling 1.
