hot and cold. sometimes you feel like you know what you're doing, other times you have no clue.

Prof. Edmonds is super nice and compassionate in regards to COVID and any personal situations you may have. She and her TAs are very generous regarding extensions. There is a lot of reading for this class. There is a required book by William O'Grady called How Children Learn Language, which I'm selling **********. This is just the beginning of many, many articles and papers you will have to read additionally. The grading is based on 3 10 point quizzes and 3 written assignments on readings. I attended all the lectures and did all the readings and got 60 or 65/65 on the assignments. Section is mandatory but you get 2 free misses and can skip section and instead complete a reading prompt each week. She's a nice professor and it's an interesting class from a more anthropological perspective (since its also cross listed as Anthro 152) but it is a lot of work IF you do everything properly and care about your grades. She also offers a make up quiz at the end of the quarter.
