(online because of covid)
Although this class was a bit more work than I had originally anticipated, I really did enjoy the content. In the online format, most lectures are prerecorded by week, around 1-3 hours, sometimes an extra reading or film, and then there was one required live lecture and required discussion each week (I usually just joined the zoom and then did other work--they never covered any testable topics that hadn't already been mentioned in recorded lectures or the textbook).
The workload was manageable: weekly-ish homeworks (less than that, really. iirc there were only 6 or 7), a midterm, two papers (which were actually pretty fun to write; they were pretty informal), and a final.
The midterm and final are on respondus!!!
I only took this class as a GE but I would say it's pretty good as far as GEs go. One thing I would caution is that because most homeworks are on quizlet, and live lecture never covers any required material, it is easy to fall behind on recorded lectures if you are not disciplined. Stay up-to-speed with all of the weekly material, because it can pile up quicker than you realize!

I loved every aspect of this Class.
I did not know much about Linguistics and, at the end, I can tell I learned so much and all seems quite interesting and relevant.
Great experience for a GE.

The grading rubric in this class was very fair. However, due to Covid-19, I slacked off more than I should have. However, even with the amount of cramming, I did for the class. I was able to pull off a B-. Make sure to participate in the discussions and live lectures to get those extra points. It could probably help round your grade up.
