Most Helpful Review
Spring 2025 - I loved this class. Each week and lecture you explore a different language family and related languages, their histories, where the languages are spoken today, where many heritage speakers reside, and characteristics of these languages. Definitely would recommend if you are interested in linguistics, especially about languages that are spoken in the LA county. The only assignments were an individual project on a language during discussion, two open note exams, and a final essay, which was take home and you are given about three weeks to work on. An easy and extremely interested GE. Professor Sullivan is super witty and an amazing professor who supports students and is super knowledgable in linguistics. 10/10 recommend.
