PSYCH 4330
Psychology of Language
This course surveys current research and theory in psycholinguistics, covering the biological bases, cognitive bases, and learning of language. We consider studies of normal children and adults, the performance of individuals with various types of language disorders, and computer simulations of language processes. Topics range from the perception and production of speech sounds to the managment of conversations. Each student will carry out an original research project on some aspect of psycholinguistics. Prereq: Ling 170D and Psych 100B

Wonderful, engaging class. Professor was super engaging and the content was engaging. We had a good amount of reading and a good amount of assignments but worth it for the content. (I am not big into taking notes or paying attention in class but this class really was super engaging).

this class is atrocious. content is already pretty dry and esoteric, but Treiman somehow made it all way worse. TONS of weekly homework essays, 60 pages of very dense weekly readings, and lectures/slides content barely even align w/ the $350 textbook. assignment prompts are convoluted and poorly explained. btw u can't pass/fail this class. AVOID

Dr. Treiman was terrible and uninspiring. Of course I feel awful that she had health problems, but she was absent for the entire first half of the semester. Despite having different sub professors come and teach us each week, Dr. Treiman was still the one to grade our assignments and write our tests. Get ready for a LOT of homework and hard exams.

SO much work. Way too much, feels like a writing intensive course when it's not. Makes you write essays on the hundreds of pages of reading she assigns and then other essays on top of it. A ridiculous amount of work for a psychology class. You have to be participating. Took the class for three weeks and dropped- waiting for another professor

She is one of the most uncaring and unhelpful professors I have ever taken a class with. Her lectures are long, but her lecture slides barely provide any information about the topics. She gives extra credit through the hw, but barely gives full marks so it ends up hurting your grade. Would never take again.
