I took philosophy and linguistics. For philosophy, all professors welcome discussion and respect difference in opinion; there’s also essay clinic sessions that ensure students’ success in essay writing. For linguistics, all professors were approachable, though the quality of instruction varies from professor to professor. Moreover, as students proceed towards upper year linguistics courses, students would often have to use programming languages and softwares that they have never familiarized themselves with, and it would’ve been better if the professors bridged closer between linguistics and these programs/programming languages, such that they may seem more approachable and easier to use for students.
