Subject: Teaser re Intro to Ling



I have now received some (but not all) of my students' evaluations of

my Ling 200 course this Spring semester. I'll wait to summarize

everything, but I thought I'd share a couple of things now:



1. No one mentioned the book Linguistics (Akmajian et al.)l, but

several students waxed enthusiastic about LF.

2. They liked doing and hearing class reports (on research papers) and

asked for more of them.

3. They said that they learned more doing take-home tests than they

would have from "cramming" for in-class tests.

4. My favorite, crystal-clear, no doubt about the student's meaning comment:

"Phonology sucks."
