<p>Are there any interesting, less challenging linguistics classes? Any professors particularly good? I have been advised to take linguistics for my major but I'm a little afraid of the difficulty.</p>
<p>Specifically:</p>
<p>Apling 200
Ling 001
Ling 100
Professor Xiaofei Lu</p>
<p>I’m taking Ling001 with Professor Jackson this semester, and it’s an interesting class. Not difficult at all - three papers and three exams. I know Ling 001 is more of an introductory class, whereas Ling100 is more technically based. I don’t know anything about APLing, but it looks interesting. As far as 001 and 100 are concerned, don’t worry too much about it. Linguistics is a pretty interesting topic, too.</p>
