Spring 2020 - DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU AREN'T VERY FLUENT IN A LANGUAGE!!! I really loved having Professor Daria. She not only was super sweet but also a great professor. It is a lot of busy work, but it's super simple. Considering the situation of this quarter, she made it super enjoyable and I would definitely recommend taking a class with her. There were weekly assignments that didn't take long, an essay where you had to analyze a text that was translated from one language into english, another essay where you had to analyze subtitles in a language translated into english and a big group project where you have to interview people. It was a lot of busy work, but it wasn't hard. I recommend taking this class only if you are fluent in a language because it requires a lot of analyzing. Overall great class and not super hard. I totally recommend it as an elective for Ling majors and also having her as a professor!

Spring 2018 - This class was so annoying. The class is unorganized, TA doesn't know what is going on in the class. The TA and the professor do not communicate well, they say different things. I am a straight-A student, worked my butt off, but still ended up with B+. Took this for my last quarter, and I regret it very much.
