Summer 2017 - Due to financial reasons, I was only enrolled in the first week of class of summer 2017 before having to drop it. However, the class is organized between quizzes, weekly responses, and essays- and I reckon if you devote enough of your time to the reading/lectures and do the assignments, you are bound to get a decent grade. The material seemed interesting enough even in the first week, sad I had to drop it. SELLING PDF VERSION OF THE PINKER "LANGUAGE INSTINCT" TEXTBOOK: contact the number ********** if interested and to discuss prices.

Winter 2021 - She was so rude!! Idky she is a teacher if she hates her job. She makes everyone feel like shit. She sucks up to faculty and acts like an innocent child even when she’s like mid 50’s… it is so weird. She talks down on people with disabilities, I have a speech impediment and I don’t appreciate treated like a child. My friends in the class are treated like they are dumb. She doesnt know everything in the world, we are in the class to learn. Surprised she still has a job considering all the complaints. No matter how hard she tries to suck up, every one is annoyed with her.

I took this class in the Fall 2014 and can say that she was very enthusiastic about teaching the class! I certainly learned a lot from her and because of her, I moved onto Syntax II. The general break down of the class is as follows: 40% Homework (5% each assignment) 25% Midterm 35% Final I really looked forward coming to this class every day! She made the class fun and is definitely approachable and will explain a concept to you over and over again if need be. By far one of my favorite classes here at UCLA. Overall, definitely recommend her!
