Winter 2016 - Though the structure of the class may change (this is the first quarter it is being offered at UCLA). I found the course to be one of the more enjoyable linguistics courses I have taken. We had two small homework assignments (@ 5% each) that required 45-60 minutes of work (definitely doable). 4 timed online quizzes @ 10% each, an in-class transcription test and a take home transcription project each @ 10% and a final presentation @ 30% of the grade. Professor Sundara is an engaging professor and a clear lecturer. Yes she has an accent, but it in no way inhibits your ability to understand her. She hands out lecture slides prior to beginning each seminar and the slides are made available online. She incorporates guest lecturers from various universities in the area to give the students a more in depth idea of what being an SLP means. The quizzes are designed to be tricky, and she recommends reviewing the material extensively since there is only an hour maximum to take each quiz. Format varies from MC, T/F and short answer. Overall I highly recommend taking this course and any course with Professor Sundara. She is a great professor, you just have to put in the extra effort.
