She was great and really helped me become more interested in the material. Outside of class, she was also very kind and eager to help.

Comment:
Cannot say that the class was easy and highly enjoyable, yet I am completely satisfied with how much knowledge I walked out with! Lots of reading due 2 theoretical nature of the subject. Negative comments r probably from those who r not into linguistics and who most likely gave her a reason to ask to drop the class.

Comment:
Significant amount of readings (all hit or miss), but manageable. Lectures = readings in verbal form sometimes. Ellen is pretty cool. Just 3 non-cumulative tests. SUPER interesting & SUPER applicable. Loved this class by the end of it.

Boring lectures which seem more conversational than informative,but interesting nonetheless.Not much note taking goes on in class, So definitely get a good TA.

Comment:
Lectures were boring to me because I find linguistics confusing and very difficult. She didn't explain concepts very well, and tests were a lot more in-depth than anything we talked about in class or discussion. Every once in a while there were interesting concepts but overall, I do not recommend it.I withdrew from the class, it was horrible.

Comment:
it is boring, and harder than you would anticipate what with it being an anthro class after all. She is nice but not the best lecturer. Readings are ok, but there are too many of them. Be careful who you pick for your discussion, try them out and switch if she/he doesn't speak english.

Not a very exciting lecturer, but she picks really interesting information that keeps you awake. A pretty linguistically inclined class, but I would reccommend it if you like learning about dif. languages.

She is not the most interesting lecturer, but her classes are easy to follow and the information isn't difficult to understand. The tests are pretty easy if you look at the study guide.

Took two upper level and one lower level classes with her, and enjoyed all of them. (The lower level was a large lecture, which made it less fun.) She's very knowledgeable and personable. Recommend.

Comment:
I had her for two small (10-20) upper-level classes and she was great. She really knows linguistics and is excellent in both field methods and theory; both classes have well-planned progression of subject. She's very kind if you work hard.

Comment:
EXTREMELY BORING. However, the tests are pretty easy. She basically gives you the questions and answers before the test. For an anth class. it is not too much reading either. About 20 pages a night.
