She is really sweet and caring and wants her students to do well. Lectures are not recorded but they are entertaining. Not the biggest deal if you have to miss a few classes. Tests were pretty simple as long as you kept up with the assignments.

Ruth was a great professor. I was kind of nervous for this class at first, but she is very nice and made things very approachable. I was glad to have her as a prof.

Glad to have had her as my Professor for this foundations course, since she makes sure students truly understand the concepts. There are weekly tutorial assignments. I was lucky because she was also the instructor for my tutorial. She had clever ways for helping students to remember and comprehend the info.

Ruth King is Very nice and she loves syntax. She uses a lot of examples to help get her point across and she takes questions from the class when time permits. She is experienced in Old English Syntax and often used examples from it.

Comment:
I found Ruth to be very rude. Although she seems to know the material herself, she lacks the ability to teach it to others. She asks for opinions of students in class and when you say what you think, she shuts you down, which is so disrespectful. I wouldn't take another course with her ever. I am a linguistics major too :(

Ruth is a very difficult professor. She is not open to discussion and seems to discourage students from having opinions. She offers her help but the bottom line is that if your opinions or interests diverge from her own your mark will suffer.

Great professor. She explains things clearly and gives weekly handouts to further explain important concepts. She prepares you well for the tests also, which are pretty easy

She is rather annoying and the course material wasn't easy to understand. Themes and how they related to course material weren't all that clear. it sounded interesting at first, but at the end of the course i felt i didn't learn all that much.

Ugh, lang and gend...if you're not a feminist this isn't the course for you. She's a pretty good prof, somewhat unclear, she takes hours to make one point, because she states it 7 times with 25 different examples over and over. She's very well spoken and intelligent, seems odd though that all of the readings are from her books...can you say ego?

Ended up dropping this class. Too boring. Prof didn't allow you to have your own opinion. Her way or no way. Rhoda was my TA and she was awesome.

Seemed like an interesting class at first, and don't get me wrong, because it is. Funny prof and very knowledgable too. Tough exams, but studying the material properly will get you through. Midterm was exteremely tough and too long, so it was slightly changed. Rhoda was a nice/helpful TA. Easy to learn from past mistakes.

I took two classes with her and she was a bit like Jekyll and Hyde. In a small classroom environment for 2140 she was SUPER nice and really fun, but for Language and Gender she was a bee with an itch. I got a horrible mark after working my a$$ off in that class. One of the TAs threatened me and I will never forget her rudeness after the fact.

Lang and gender.... do not take this class if you're not ultra feminist... dont get me wrong... im already a feminist... but shes over the hill... if u dont share her point of view to the dot u dont do well... also she cannot always back up her claims with factual evidence... most course material is stuff shes written... shes trying to brainwash!

The course was interesting. She is very smart but is not as helpful as the TAs are. She made the mid-term extremely hard and no one was prepared for that but she tried to help us understand after that. Alright prof.

Very easy class! I definitely recommend it. All the info is on overheads. The material is semi-interesting, but very comprehensive. Only she's too full of herself.
