Most Helpful Review
Spring 2020 - I enrolled this class mostly because it was a GE and WII, and by gosh is it difficult to get into. That being said, I'm really glad I took this class with Dr. Bahtina because I've learned more than I would ever think about learning and teaching language. Dr. Bahtina tries really hard to make sure we are learning practical things, and so this class is really helpful if you want to teach language either in the short or long term. That being said, I wouldn't classify this class as an easy A. Your grade depends on 3 total writing assignments (split up into drafts, so technically 6), weekly journal assignments, peer reviews, a classroom observation (basically just attend a language class and take notes), and participation (+ you get 1% extra credit for using the UWC). The first two writing assignments make up 15% of your grade each, with the final paper being 25%. You can basically get 100% on the peer reviews, journal assignments, and in participation as long as you try to speak in class a couple of times each session. As someone who usually is uncomfortable with speaking in class, I felt like Dr. Bahtina made the environment extremely conducive to participation for students, and I had a really great time in this class. While the content itself isn't insanely hard, there is a fair bit of work associated with the class. But, as long as you stay diligent and go into office hours and utilize feedback from your rough drafts, you should still end up with a good grade.
