An easy, fun GE. Because we had an overview of so many Asian languages throughout the course, the class had a very collaborative environment in that there was a lot of discussion during the lectures. Professor Iwasaki would ask native speakers in the class about their experience with their languages and incorporate their responses into the lectures, which I thought was really cool. There's a lot of busy work for the class, but none of it is actually difficult. Discussion sections were great! My TA, Helen, was extremely helpful and you could tell she really cared about student progress. I learned a ton in this class and I'm really glad I took it.
