Quarter: Winter 2017
Grade: A

Oddly, this class wasn't actually taught by Bozzone -- we watched online lectures by Professor Hayes and attended a single discussion section every week. As such, a lot of this class's experience depends on the TA you get.

This was a super easy class, and still managed to give me some insight as an introduction to linguistics.

Quarter: Summer 2017
Grade: A+

Took this as an online class over the summer -
We basically watched pre-recorded videos for lecture, which you essentially need to thoroughly watch as answers to short essay questions are embedded in the lectures. They're dull, but pretty much made up 80% of the material taught.
The final paper was very interesting for me as a bilingual speaker, but it was also difficult since I've never really analyzed language before, but the essay was graded pretty easily so it's not something to stress about

Office Hours were done live online, where the TA basically goes through his own slides and answers questions that students have through an app. They're actually really helpful and I preferred those over the lectures themselves.

The test was very easy - as long as you paid attention and studied a bit before the test, there is no reason why you wouldn't do well.

This professor/class absolutely butchers Linguistics. Severe amounts of points are taken off for minor deviations from the professor's internal answer key, even if the deviation is insignificant (i.e., gave the right answer but didn't use a specific keyword, even if that keyword was mentioned in the previous sentence and is implied? points off).
