LING 20: I'm taking this class because I have to for a G.E. I was mildly interested at the beginning of the course, but Rett is such a terrible teacher, I can say I hate linguistics. She doesn't teach and she has alienated me from linguistics such that I am pass/no-passing this class and don't really give a shit about anything I learn. This is rare because I take my education seriously and have a high GPA. But when it comes to this class, I just can't care any less. I wouldn't say she's the worst professor on campus, but there's something about her that makes me - again - not give a shit about linguistics.

I'm a little surprised by the bad reviews, she wasn't bad at all. The lectures were pretty slow and she always took the time to answer every student's questions (even annoying ones). I actually really enjoyed her as a professor, she tried to make the class interactive. I've heard a lot of bad things about this course and if you're reading these reviews thinking it's not for you, I definitely encourage you to just try the class for yourself. I'm glad I went into the class not knowing anything because I came into the class not expecting it to be terrible and it turned out to be so interesting that I decided to double-major in Ling. I will say that while the homework and quizzes were do-able, the final was ridic. But it was open book and open note. My TA was pretty much useless, by the way.
