Most Helpful Review
Spring 2024 - I disagree with the other review saying this class was boring (but to each their own). Professor Yates is super passionate and he's a very engaging lecturer. I admit some of the readings were a little long and dense, and I skipped out on a few of them, but the history is super cool to learn. He also brought in a few guest lecturers that were super interesting to listen to, as they each focused on a very specific field of linguistic history. The discussion sections are mandatory but they were super fun to attend as the TA often led interactive activities like carving your name into clay using hieroglyphs. Overall this class was a super fun way to knock out the linguistic GE requirement, so I definitely recommend it.
