I took this online Summer A and it was a solid online course. Discussion posts were actually helpful, and quizzes prepared you for the exams. The course is very exam-heavy, but the exams are fair and there are a couple points of extra credit by doing study guides (which are helpful anyways)

Linguistics is fun! There was a lot more technical stuff than I expected and some more memorization than ideal, but overall it was cool stuff

Dr. Garner was approachable and encouraged people come to her office hours

Always do the study guides for extra credit! The textbook is helpful but not as important as the videos

If you're only selecting this course for an elective and aren't interested in linguistics, this course will be very difficult for you. Even if you do well on the assignments, it's possible almost to fail the course because the exams are heavy.

Readings, Homefund, Quizzes, and Exams The book is HORRIBLE but needed.

Professor was great, and the videos helped me understand the concepts the most.

Watch the videos with the Professor in them.

As a lin major, this course was required and I found it to be very easy and interesting. Be prepared to make weird sounds and speak during exams! Don't buy the textbook, Dr. Garner has great recorded lectures with practice exam questions at the end!

Dr. Garner is so nice and was always helpful in the discussions. Be sure to do the study guide and email it to them, it's extra credit which can really help on the midterm and final.
