I can't comment on the professor since it was an online class but be warned the quizes are diffcult to get even an 80%. You get 10 questions based on the lecture but you can only get one wrong to get a B. Honestly, I regret taking this class. Avoid if you can

This professor/class absolutely butchers Linguistics. Severe amounts of points are taken off for minor deviations from the professor's internal answer key, even if the deviation is insignificant (i.e., gave the right answer but didn't use a specific keyword, even if that keyword was mentioned in the previous sentence and is implied? points off).

I took this class online so I actually never met the professor. The class involved online lectures (usually 2-3 hours of lecture per week), a 10 question quiz due every Thursday, and two 150 word short answers due every Friday. You also will have discussion once a week which I highly encourage you to attend. The class was basically taught by the TAs so your short answer and essay grades just depended on how tough of a grader your TA was. Make sure you have your TA skim your final paper before you turn it in and don't worry about the final because it's extremely easy (I got 102% on mine and barely studied). Ultimately, I thought this class was really interesting.

I got an A+ in this class, but I do agree with many other reviewers that that the questions on the quizzes/essays were sometimes vague. I spent hours figuring out the right answers. Yes, some of the answers were literally quoted in the lectures but there were also at least 1-2 questions each week that were super confusing and time-consuming. Is it really necessary to make the quiz that nitpicky? Isn't the point to see that the students understand the main concepts that are taught in lecture? Just make the quizzes/essays worth less of the total grade if the reason for the vagueness is to avoid "easiness" because this was just frustrating and discouraging to do each week That's just my suggestion. Anyway, the final was actually surprisingly easy considering how hard the quizzes were and you got extra credit opportunities on it too.

[STILL AVAILABLE] Yes the quizzes were difficult, but easy class if you have the old quizzes and essays!

Bozzone is an amazing professor! I would take her again if I could; you should take her class!

Very straightforward class. The concepts are super easy to grasp. Quizzes are not as bad as other reviews. As long as you watch the lecture videos carefully, it is gonna be a breeze. The final exam is even easier.
I only studied two hours for the final but still got 106 out of 100. (There were extra credit questions)
Professor is very responsive through emails since this is an online class. My TA is also really nice and helpful. She is very lenient in terms of grade. For the final paper, I got 100/100.
Again, this class is too easy but also very interesting to me, since I speak several languages personally. I wasn't quite interested in linguistic before taking this class, but now I hope to learn more about linguistics.

One of the most infuriating online classes I've ever taken. Although Professor Bozzone was extremely generous with grading towards the end of the term, the scale caused a lot of undue stress at the beginning of the term, when quiz questions were ambiguous and oddly specific since it was open notes/lecture videos/etc. TAs were relatively anal with grading as well. Granted, it is possible to do well if you're extremely detail oriented, but this course was not a pleasant experience.

I had Bozzone as a TA. The class was very stressful. The quizzes were oddly specific and due to the volume of student complaints, she made the final exam extremely easy. The class was kinda a nightmare, but most students pulled through with a decent grade at the end because so many people were angry.
