The course takes a very in-depth look at grammatical structures and it includes a lot of memorization of various categories for the quizzes. I think many of the students who struggled mistook it as a course oriented towards learners of English as a second language. The material definitely requires a thorough understanding of English and sentence structure.

A lot of the material overlaps with linguistics classes such as morphology and syntax, and so it was useful as a foundation for these courses.
