He knows his stuff, but he is sometimes hard to understand

he's really nice, although a bit incomprehensible... and he's got mad charisma (ignore the chalk)

He is amazing but only really bright students who do the work will get it.

HILARIOUS!! I'm still telling his stories, and I took his class 2 years ago!

Best prof I've had here. The bad comments here are weird.

Brilliant, but not for the uninterested. Strong quirks in personality traits makes you love him or hate him. My TA hated him, but I would take any class he teaches. He gets side tracked whenever he notices chalk dust.

Could be interesting if you are interested but overall I'd say a good class to fufill the P or N requirement. Downside is that TA does all grading so hopefully you'll get a good TA (ie Dave).

Challenging prof. The class is somewhat difficult but very interesting and you will learn a lot if you pay attention. I really liked him.

The bad comments here are weird. He's a great professor, everyone pretty much got in the 90s on the midterm, and his lectures and stories are interesting. He's very cynical but you will learn in this class. It's easy, too.

A little difficult to understand. But he's a really nice guy. He'll go over and over the material, but only because he genuinely wants his students to understand it. If you take this class, be sure to take it with TA Dave!

Dr. Glick is a challenging and highly qualified instructor. I disagree with the other comments- maybe they didn't do so hot in the class...?

Glick was great... he made class relatively interesting and as long as you did what he told you to do, you were fine.

Glick is great. His class can be challenging but it's so interesting and he makes classes entertaining. He's really helpful too.

how can you say bad things about glick?! he is the funniest, best, easiest professor i've ever had. his stories are hilarious and he always cracks himself up. getting an A in his class was incredibly easy. great person.

i LOVED the course i took with glick, he is the best teacher and very funny too! it was an easy A and his class was my absolute favorite. i can't wait to take a course with him next semester. a majority of ppl got A's. DON'T DISS GLICK HE IS AWESOME!!

This is a pretty hard class if you don't get the concepts. It can be a little overwhelming, however, Glick is willing to help. He is very funny and class goes by pretty fast.

This prof is awesome!! This class was very interesting and I enjoyed every day that i went. All you have to do is go to lectures and discussion and you will be alright. (The best TA is Georgia!!).

Doesn't explain things very well. Hard to take notes on what he says.

he thinks hes a freakin stand up comedian... not worth going to class if youre just trying to get an A... just do the readings.

If you want an A, take this class. Easy, but lectures are boring.

Though his lectures are confusing trains of thought, he is clear about what he wants in assignments. The class is a fairly easy A, though the mastery of some abstract concepts is involved. He is pompous of his 'story' of the course structure, though it's merely a plug for diversity appreciation.

An amazingly bright man who cares about his students despite the number of us in his course. I can't understand some of the comments here, but then again most of us don't do very much! If you work you can learn a lot here.

Sometimes Glick will speak his own language which makes lectures hard to understand. TA grades you so get a good one. THe papers are ez because u can revise. The FINAL was hard..too many readings and memorizing.

hard but fair. gives as many oppurtunities as possible, but too much learning for a level 100 class. overall decent guy, but u will have to do work and study. struggled too much just for a lousy A-

glick is a great person, a great teacher, and hilarious. anytime i've had a problem, glick was there and answers emails very quickly. he is good at time management and seems to relate to students very well. however, i've hardly learned anything from this class and some assignments arent very clear.

a really boring class, he was a funny and friendly guy but the material was so boring, difficult to read and irrelevant to life. good guy, bad subject.

funny, easy (never got less than a B), just stay up on the easy work

I liked this guy... he was really funny and a good teacher... and the class was interesting too. The only thing is that this guy LOVES to hear himself talk...

The Frame is the bible for the class. Don't need to show up to lecture except on assignment due dates and his exams are pretty easy. The TAs do everything.

the man

This guy is so awesome. He tells great stories and i swear it is the only class i have ever been in where i felt it went too fast. He has a story for everything and really keeps u paying attention, i never wanted to fall asleep once! Take this guy!

I love this man!! he is so funny, and he always has a story to tell. makes the class go by so fast, and it is easy material. id go to class even if i didnt have to just to listen to him speak. prob one of the best classes i have taken so far at school, i def recommend it to someone who wants to enjoy class and get an A.

Great Teacher

The Master. This is the sort of professor that can really blow your mind AND make you laugh. And what a guy! If you're a linguistics major he is 100% by your side & will help you fulfill requirements like no other. Those that get confused by him, there is not much to say for you. Increase your intelligence quotient? Glick classes = purely the best

After spending first 3 weeks complaining about the structure of school and explaining the structure of his course, the class got much better. Makes class laugh a lot (to make it worth it for you to attend). All about getting his hard working students good grades. Extremely responsive to e-mails. Readings are interesting. Would recommend.

interesting prof, funny, really knew what he was talking about. readings were interesting, just dont put them off

very easy online course. easy A.

There's some thought provoking stuff covered in his class. Otherwise, the book that he compiled/wrote is a joke and sort of insulting. It clearly wasn't proofread, it is filled with typos. It's hard to care when the teacher doesn't.

took class for gen ed. should be an easy A for most, helps to have a good t.a. first test avg is literally about a 98 and final and hw isn't bad. he is a nice guy and funny at times

I was in stitches practically every class...and still managed to leave with an A and a completely new outlook on linguistics. Fantastic professor who clearly loves what he does.

Glick is really funny. He also is really great about being helpful and available for questions. The class is very do-able. The assignments are just not that interesting. Overall good class though.

Take this class if you want to be able to pretty easily fulfill the gen-ed and learn something semi-interesting along the way. The class demands VERY little of your time (ESPECIALLY the first part of the semester...) and should be an easy A for most people. I probably attended around 10 lectures in all, and ended up with an A in the class.

Glick's ling 114 class is perfect for freshmen. Its pretty easy, however, it is important to reach out. The concepts as well as the essay are confusing. But if you ask, he will edit your papers as many times as you want and that guarantees an A. As far as lectures, they can get boring. My advice is to go to the first 8 and the last weekof lectures

Dr. Glick is one of the most fascinating lecturers I have ever had. He does ramble sometimes, and some parts of his lectures are virtually incomprehensible. His great sense of humor, though, and thorough knowledge of his subject really brings the lecture to another level. This class is the reason why I'm a linguistics major now. Brilliant man.

he is great he is hilarious and tells many stories so in the beginning of the semester he isn't too focused on the work but after the first month he really starts to do work and although it may be a lot it really does prepare you for his exams. He gives review sheets and tells you what will appear he doesn't try to trick you he wants to help you

It took some getting used to the class' very academic concepts, but Glick is truly a very intelligent teacher and you can tell he's both knowledgeable and dedicated to his field. Witty sense of humor and stories, but still your deeper understanding will probably come from a TA. Not the easiest class, but a very sharp prof. with a lot to share.

Dr. Glick is one of the funniest and most brilliant professors I've ever studied under. He really has a deep understanding of his subject material, but you have to pay attention to understand what he's talking about, as many of the concepts are abstract. He's very fair and receptive to questions.

He's a pretty chill guy. Not going to lie; his lectures were kinda boring, but the class itself was enjoyable over all, and easy too. He does a good job of teaching you what you need to know.

Class is entirely based off of the syllabus. If you read the instructions you'll do well. Glick always lets out early and you don't always have to go to his lectures. He is very approachable and if you go to talk to him he will be very helpful .

He's a funny guy and is helpful as well. He will give handouts before exam which make it easier.

Prof. Glick is low-key very funny. He's generally boring when he lectures, but he slips in some quality jokes here and there if you pay attention. The class is extremely easy, and the material is interesting. Would recommend.

I, personally, LOVE Glick. He's an odd man and goes off topic quite often, but he knows the material well. He also gives review sheets right before an exam that tell you basically everything you need to know as well as clearly explaining the structure of the exam. I had Glick for LING114 as well. He truly & genuinely wants his students to do well.

good professor, he's very approachable but his lectures are extremely confusing at times. if you follow the syllabus and study 5-6 hours before every test youll be fine.

This prof is very funny, intelligent and doesn't take the course too seriously. You have three papers, midterm, final and a presentation in your discussion. All the papers your able to re write and no attendance in lectures. One/two presentations that are extremely easy (bc its also an O credit).

Dr. Glick is a hilarious professor, though some may not understand his brand of humor. It tends to be more academic and poking fun at his age. He loves participating students who ask him questions, just taking an interest in the class material puts you at the top of his list. He's always so accessible for office hours and gives great feedback.

I took this class for my Pluralism Gen Ed. I would recommend taking this course. I took the LxC subcourse (French) also, which I would also recommend since you can continue a language study and it gets you out of the presentations. Pretty straight forward. 3 papers but you get to choose which ones fit your schedule best out of a group.

Honestly I loved him. He was kind of boring as a lecturer, but the class was so simple. My TA didnt grade that well so it was kind of annoying. I sat with him for one of my papers and he told me it was great and my TA gave me a B. The 2 Tests were straight forward. Definitely an easy A

Definitely go to class around exams!! He spells out so clearly what is going to be on the test. He also cancels class a ton. My TA honestly made the course and made everything much clearer, but if you dont like your TA, the textbook is also super clear. The readings kinda sucked and took awhile, but I did very well on all of the papers with them.

Glick is awesome! He cares a lot about his students and is very open to answering all sorts of questions in class and over email. His lectures are a bit monotone but for this class all you need to do is read the textbook and its pretty straightforward (and its not a lot of reading). He's just a funny guy. Would definitely recommend taking his class

Such as easy A class and Glick is a sweet man. I honestly did none of the readings except the ones I did the argument maps for and barely attended his lectures and got an A. Take this instead of a history class Glick is great!!

Dr. Glick is a bit hard to listen to because he has a very monotone voice but once you get past that his lectures are very easy and he is very clear about what you need to know. The TAs are usually helpful as well. I also really liked our textbook, very easy to read and understand.

Douglas Glick is such a bestie. Greatest of all time. This man is so wonderfully kind and understanding it's incredible. Truly one of the chillest professors I've ever had, you can tell he really loves what he does and enjoys the subject. Don't be afraid to ask for help, an extension, etc., he cares about his students and is v accessible/flexible!

Professor Glick is pretty monotone, but if you are listening, he is really funny. He starts off slow and eases you into the class, and will integrate a bunch of different vocabulary words that are new to almost everyone, so be ready to read if you need to understand more. It is 90% interesting so don't be worried about reading about boring stuff.

Yes for GenEd (easiest one i've taken, i highly recommend) Yes for lecture (but he sounds boring? okay but he's very clear and to the point) Yes for textbook (easy to read, clear and concise, many exmpls, stay on top of it!) Yes for HW's (you can skip like 3 before it's costing) meh for TA's (not the best at answering questions, ask the prof inst
