GREAT JEARB

I never went to class OR discussion. I just read the book that he wrote before the exam and got an A. super easy to take as a gened rather than phil or something.

A terrible teacher and a terrible subject but is a very easy A with 8 point curves on almost every exam and 5 bonus points added to the your semester average

Very knowledgeable guy. Exams are multiple choice and kind of confusing, so you definitely need to study. He curves all exams so the class average is a B, and he gives you 5 extra points on your final grade if you do the homework they give you in discussion. Difficult material, but easy to get a B because of all the extra points you can get.

Use powerpoints in class and he won't put those slides to Web so you have to attend class. Study Guides provided for exams. A great curve to a B for whole class. Exams are in multiple choices with 3 choices each. Just study lecture notes, do the study guides and do the homework and you can get an A.

I found this class to be boring, but really easy. The tests are usually curved and just for doing all 10 easy homework assignments in discussion you get 5% added to your final grade.

Great professor. The material was also very interesting and helped me to understand a lot about language! A must take general education course. Also, you are pretty much guaranteed an A if you put the effort in.

Has an awesome accent, and really knows his stuff. If you've never been exposed to the field of linguistics, some of this stuff is a bit hard to wrap your head around. NEED to attend lecture, no slides/notes online. Discussion is useless, but there's extra credit HW that has to be turned in during disc. Go to lecture, do the reading, exams are easy

his exams are super easy if you study for them. the practice exam and study guides are so helpful. he is a great teacher and if you do all the homeworks you get an extra 5% added to your grade. plus there's a bonus exam that will replace your lowest exam grade if you choose to take it. awesome class. dont even hafta really go. TAKE LING 1010 w/ HIM

Very cool and easy teacher. Tests are pretty simple if you go to the discussions. Don't really even have to go to class since he makes you buy a manual with all the slides before the year. Easy gen ed.

AWESOME PROFESSOR! Easy A! Three tests (two tests and one final, not cumulative). Bonus exam replaces lowest test (cumulative). Do all 10 homeworks and get 5% added to your total test average. Interesting class, and a funny guy. He just is a down to earth guy. It's seriously impossible not to get an A in this class. Attend discussion!

he's a great professor, the class was an easy A. the exams were easy if you went to lecture, and discussion helped clarify information, my T.A. was so nice and helpful. definitely take this class with him if you're considering taking a gen ed.

A great teacher. Offers a bonus exam to replace either the midterm or final. Homework gives you five points extra credit, and Discussion is helpful but has no attendance. A great gen-ed.

An easy gen ed; 5 extra bonus points are added onto your final grade if you do all 10 homework assignments. There are 3 exams, and a bonus exam is offered to replace your lowest exam score. Discussion is not mandatory but can be very helpful.

Easy class although the multiple choice test questions can be tricky, overall not bad. Essentially no work except for the night before the exams.

This class is a good Gen Ed. The exams can be a little tricky but he curves the first exam because he believes everyone should have a B average. There is a bonus final, and it really does help your grade in the end. He also adds an extra 5 point to your final grade if you do the homework. It's a good class.

Very Easy class and I would recommend for an easy gen ed. He gave short homework assignments that were due in discussion every week. There were a total of four multiple choice exams and only three were counted.

This class takes literally no work. You don't really need to do the readings but if he always puts 1-2 questions on the exam that were in the readings but not in lecture so if you want to get those right then read. I didn't read, did the homeworks in 5 minutes before discussion, studied the night before and pulled off an A with the extra credit.

Took this as an easy gen ed class, did the homework each week and barely showed up to lectures. Easy A in my opinion, just a bit boring and dull, the manual and his lectures are pretty much the same so pick the manual or pick the lectures but you definitely don't need both

Great professor! Textbook required was just of his slides he would cover during class. Found very interesting for a gen ed class.

Easiest gen ed at UCONN. Not sure why I went to the lecture all the time. I learned the most in my discussion. Easy A.

This class was so boring!I would try my hardest to go but I often ended up not listening when I do. Eventually I just did not go. Test are easy. You don't need to study much to get a B. There is a bonus opportunity with homework and a bonus addition quiz you can take.

This class is kind of hard to follow because of how boring it is, so you pretty much have to just reteach yourself the material while studying for the test. However, studying may take you a little over an hour and everything you need to know he puts on the practice tests and is very straight forward and simple. TAs confusing but give you extra pts

Harry was a a great professor. He seems really cultured and knowledgeable. In addition, he is well-respected in the field of linguistics. Not to mention his accent is so hot <33333

Such an awesome prof. Have to go to class and pay attention to do well. You can skip discussion but it's not recommended since they go over important practice tests and give out bonus homework that are added to your final grade. Wonderful gen-ed. Teacher is so passionate in what he teaches and tries to make the class as interesting as he can

Chill dude, easy class. Never really went to lecture. Discussion can be useful but not mandatory either. Honestly, if you just read his lecture slides and do his study guide the night before the tests you will do well. Highly recommended as a gen ed class.

going to lecture was a complete waste of time and I never read the book. You go over (and learn) everything important in discussion. Easy a if you put the tiniest bit of effort into it

I would recommend this class as an easy GenEd. He gives very long online reading assignments, however, you really just need to skim them over and take out the important facts. He is passionate about what he teaches! Overall, very clear about what will be on the exam.

Easiest class I've ever taken at UConn, never read the textbook only studied the slides for an hour or 2 before exam got A's on all. Lecture not necessary but do go to discussion. He is a very easy grader. The class can be quite boring but worth it for the minimum work put in to get an easy A.

If you show up and do what you're supposed to do this class is not hard! Discussion is the most helpful part of class because it reinforces everything he says in lecture. I bought the book to have his slides and to take notes with and studied off of that and managed to do well. The first exam is the hardest, but that's okay! They get easier!

LOVED the way he teaches. He uses his own book and has you annotate chapters of it and critique what he says in it. If your responses are off track, he gives great feedback about where you went wrong. The exams were very straightforward so if you did the reading you do well on exams. Gave a 5 point extra credit assignment at the end of the course.

Reading assignments daily with a tons of homework(two page single space summary and discussion posts). The homework gets easier and less time consuming once your familiar with it. Tests are alright, be sure to used the explanations on the book or he might take points off. He is a nice professor that really cares about linguistic.

I enjoyed Ling1010 with him and thought that the class was easy and interesting. The only exams are 2 midterms, a final, and a bonus exam that can replace your lowest exam score. There are also quizzes every week in discussion that count as extra credit. As long as you go to lectures and follow along with the slide printouts, you'll be fine.

I have no interest in Linguistics and only took it as a Gen Ed to get an A. Can't comment on the large lecture but for the honors section, it was so easy to get an A if you attended every lecture. Gives up to 5 points to your FINAL GRADE if you write weekly reflections. Take home exams and finals. Like come on, what more do you need with a Gen Ed?

This class was very easy in my opinion. There are only 3 tests, and a bonus exam that can replace you lowest test score. Each week in discussion there are 2 question quizzes which can earn you up 5 EC points on your final grade. Lectures are sometimes dry but the content is still interesting. Good professor that wants you to get good grades

He was very boring, but the class was quite easy. He definitely knows a lot about linguistics. Your entire grade is 3 of your 4 best tests, plus an extra 8% if you do the bonus quizzes and experiments, so it really is not hard to get a good grade. Take this for an easy gen ed.

LING 1010 is super easy just watch the lectures and go to discussion and you will get an A. The grades are an average of 3 exams and if you do bad there's an optional final that replaces it. Also the quizzes are optional and can get you up to 5 points of extra credit. If you did well in PSYC1100 you'll do just as fine here, especially online.

This class was the easiest gen ed I've ever taken. He gives you everything you need to do well on exams. There was no required textbook reading, and all I did to prepare for exams was go over the slides a couple of times and fill out the study guide. I could also tell that he and my TA really wanted students to do well.

He is an okay professor but his course is easy. Your grade is based on the average of 3 exams. One exam can be replaced with an optional exam if you do poorly. There are weekly discussion sections where you can get up to 5 extra credit points total. The professor shares a lot of extra info, so focus on the study guide so you don't feel overwhelmed

The professor was great and explained things very nicely during lectures. It's an asynchronous class though and meetings are done by TAs. Lots of reading for this class and only a few quizzes so you have to do well on the exams in order to get a good grade.

Took this during covid and as long as you go over the powerpoints and skim through the textbook you will be good. I suggest reading the textbook because it makes the tests much easier but you really do not have to as long as you have notes from the powerpoints.

super easy class, i read the textbook at the beginning but stopped bc it was unnecessary. pretty easy material, exams are open book and open note (he wrote the textbook btw so it's free) there were weekly quizzes, but they were pretty easy too. pay decent attention in class and you'll do fine

Took the class during the 3 week May session and the work was pretty fair, easy exams and simple summaries on the chapters each day. He was a really easy grader and as long as you did what he asked, you'd get full credit. I liked the way the textbook was laid out and it was easy to remember the important aspects, overall solid class!!

LING 1010 is probably one of the easiest classes I've ever taken. Lectures can get really boring, but I still attended as it forced me to dedicate time to the subject. Exams are really easy as long as you study and understand everything from his slides. Attend every discussion section as you can get 5 extra credit points!

While he was very lecture heavy, I found his lectures to always be interesting. He makes you buy this manual that you take notes in, but you don't actually need it if you are a person who likes writing their own notes in a notebook. You definitely need to study for exams, but they are straightforward if you do. Low stress and easy if you study.

Ling is an easy class, the topic is just boring. Harry cares a lot about what hes teaching but likes to go off topic. The only homework is a packback once a week, and we have one midterm and one final. The tests are open book. Lectures are optional too. Just boring material, he is funny though.

Harry is a cool teacher. For LING1010, attendance didn't really matter because he didn't take attendance (very large class size). But there would be in-class polls that you'd have to answer so if you missed class, you'd miss the polls and miss out on points.There was no textbook, but we used PackBack online which is like an online discussion board.

I had Professor Van Der Hulst for LING 1010. It's a super easy course. Not much "homework" to do in class. Every week we had to post a discussion question and answer two others, which was very simple. You need to go to class or watch it online to be able to the in-class discussion polls that kinda count for attendance.

This class was over all easy, the exams were all online and open book. It is lecture heavy, and they can be confusing and unorganized. Overall, its an easy A.

I enjoyed LING 1010 as well as professor van der hulst. He is responsive to emails, available before/after class, and kind. Heavy accent but doesn't affect anything really. Attendance is mandatory and there is weekly homework but very easy just time consuming. Only 2 exams that were take home/online with no lockdown browser. Course is interesting.

imagine making students buy your note book for a class... i got by without it. the grade is made up of 3 exams so if youre a good test taker its a low stress class

This class consists of 3 PackBack polls (must be present to do) per class and 1 poll during the discussion section (be present). There are weekly PackBack post which are responses and 1 question based on the weeks chapter. Lastly, 3 exams. 1st & 2nd exam are 12.5% each, last is 20%. You can get around the class w/o reading the book....

Online homework for credit and tests are online as well. You have to go to lecture to answer the polls that are for credit because he makes the answers hidden. You can tell he is more into his research than teaching but that being said he has a lot of useful information but he doesn't present it in the best way.

Easiest 100 i've literally ever gotten in a class. You are graded on 2 midterms, a final, and weekly discussion posts on packback, along with in-lecture questions. all exams are at home, and the exams are open for a week so you can choose when to take it. discussion section quizzes are extra credit.

prof van der hulst is very nice. responds to emails quickly, and is happy to explain any issues you might run into in class. attendance is mandatory because he does in lecture questions, but they are really easy. as long as you do all of the assignments and exams (which are open book), you'll 100% pass the class. discussion course is extra credit.

This professors lecture is honestly a bit boring, but the class itself is so easy. There are in lecture questions, but they're easy to do and get a good grade on. Exams are not cumulative, open all week, open note, open browser.
