This class has a very similar format to Psych 133B so if you've taken that with Ankowski, there is a LOT of overlap in how it works.

The grade breakdown is pretty simple. For participation, you need 5 points. You can get a point every time you go to an office hour with her or a TA, or when you make a post to the forums about something related to the lecture of that week. You also have 4 possible homework assignments based on lectures or videos, but usually they're also graded leniently and only your highest 3 scores count, so if you score perfect on the first 3 you don't need to do the 4th.

There's also 5 quizzes with the lowest graded one dropped. 10 questions each that relate to either lecture material or the book, but the majority comes from lecture. All of it is open notes and very easy. The final is set up the same way with 50 M/C or T/F questions and is also relatively easy as well as open-notes.

My only gripe with this class is that sometimes the lectures were recorded poorly and the audio got distorted, and that there was too much of the lectures to watch every week. We also were assigned to read chapters of the textbook corresponding to each week's lecture to prepare, but I never did that and instead just used CTRL + F for keywords on my quizzes and exams. You can find the textbook online somewhere; it's still important for the quizzes and final in this class.

All in all, the content in this class and the way it is setup is really easy. Most students ended up with an easy A this quarter.

Kind of boring class but Ankowski is an angel and makes sure you understand the material and its applications

Professor Ankowski is so passionate about linguistic development, it made the material so much more interesting. It's a pretty easy, straightforward class. Either quizzes or homework assignments per week (make sure to answer every part of the assignment) and the quizzes were open note. Exams were also open note and very easy. Definitely should take this class if you need it for psych upperdiv elective.

I'm sure that by the time Professor Ankowski teaches this class again everything will be in-person so your experience will likely differ.

Professor Ankowski's 133c class is extremely interesting and is very straightforward. Professor is caring and always sends us reminders about deadlines/weekly lectures.

I thought the quizzes and assignments were straightforward. Highly recommend as an elective.

Overall: 5/5

Very straightforward class! Exams are open-book, open-lecture, and your grade is based on a few assignments (short paragraph-style responses to lecture), midterm and final, and participation. Participation is either CCLE discussion board posts or office hour attendance. If you've done any linguistics coursework, this is going to be a breeze.

I think this was more of a personal thing but language development was never particularly interesting to me so the class material was dry in my opinion. However, the grade breakdown was incredibly doable, and only top 3 out of your 4 grades for the writing assignment and quiz counted. There was also an opportunity for extra credit by writing about your impression to an assigned film -- pretty interesting.

Overall, an easy class to take. Oh, I also never read the textbook, so Control F is your best buddy during exams. You also can't go back to review questions so everything is sequential so that was my only gripe.

Ankowski is very nice. In COVID-19 times, everything is asynchronous, set all due dates consistently at 11:59 PM every Friday. No midterms, just quizzes and a final exam. You can command F all her lecture transcripts and the textbook for them. My only gripe is that you can't check back prior questions to make sure you inputted the right response. Other than that, relatively easy class.

Professor Ankowski is fantastic! Not going to lie, I was hesitant about taking a language development class and was convinced it would be boring and completely unrelatable. Well, I judged way too soon - this was one of my favorite classes I have ever taken in my life. Ankowski makes lectures so engaging and made an 8am worth waking up for. I didn't miss one lecture, simply because I loved listening to her speak so much.

Lectures were easy but the exams were SUPER HARD.
