<p>has anyone taken a linguistics course? ive been thinking about taking one, but to be honest i have no idea what it's about. Also what is the difficulty level?</p>
<p>Linguistics is the scientific study of language. Main branches include morphology, the study of sounds that comprise language, syntax, or the study of the order of language, and others. It's an incredibly interesting subject if you are interested in language. :)</p>
<p>I took Linguistics 1 last quarter, and absolutely hated it!!!</p>
<p>My professor (Buring) had a pretty thick German accent and my TA was from Hong Kong. I felt that neither of them did a very good job of communicating the subject, and I felt lost a lot. The homework was pretty confusing and the tests were hard. The median on the midterm was a D and the median on the final was a C. However, just today I found out that I pulled an A-, so I guess I can't really complain about how things ended up for me personally. </p>
<p>If you're gonna take it, just make sure you choose your professor carefully and be prepared to work hard to get a good grade. Being interesting in the subject would help too.</p>
<p>YaY! good job brett on fabulous grade!</p>
<p>Lol, thanks Jen :)</p>
