The class material is very useful and interesting, but the lecture is extremely boring and discussions session is meaningless. You just need to study with book by yourself. Lecture is not worth going. Don't focus on too details on the text book, but memorize the rules, definitions, and morphemes. The very first quiz grade doesn't matter that much as long as you do well on the third quiz. However, I don't really recommend this class if you are looking for an easy GE
