What to Expect

What type of readings are involved in first-and-second-year courses? (e.g. articles, textbook) How much reading should a student expect to do per week?

It varies by course. There is little reading in the intro course; some mid-level courses read articles, some do not.

What sorts of assignments should a student expect in first-and-second-year courses? (e.g. quizzes, group projects, presentations)

It varies by course. There is often an emphasis on homework in Linguistics, which is often weekly. Some instructors use larger assignments, many have quizzes and tests.

Beyond the required course texts, are there other course materials a student should be prepared to purchase for first-and-second-year courses?

Most courses require no purchases.

Is there anything else that is important for first-and-second-year students to know and/or expect from their courses?

Linguistics gives students an entirely new way to look at languages! It is the science of language.
