Course summary
LING2004 — Phonetics: Describing sounds is generally viewed as a manageable but challenging course, particularly with its heavy workload and pre-class quizzes. It's good for students interested in phonetics who are willing to put in the effort; however, it can be quite dull for those less engaged with the subject matter.
Grading seems generous, with many students getting high scores on homework and exams, but final grades can still vary widely depending on exam performance.
The workload is considered heavy, involving weekly readings, quizzes, and assignments. Students spend around 10-12 hours per week on the course.
Assessments include pre-class quizzes, homework (peer-graded), midterm, and final exams. The midterms cover the first half of the semester, while finals cover the second half.
The professor is described as engaging and interesting, though some found the class dull without a strong interest in phonetics. Tutors are also noted for being helpful and funny.
Students advise memorizing key concepts and preparing thoroughly for exams, noting that pre-class quizzes can be leniently graded.
