Dr. Pinnick is an excellent professor who really makes her students work hard for their rightful grade. She will tell you many times how much she expects of you, in that those taking her class obviously chose a difficult class on purpose (this class is not easy), so that you might improve yourself through the course's content. This class requires alot of work on memorizing definitons, methods, reading articles out of class, looking things up in the OED, doing ALL exercises from the chapter your are currently in for next class, etc. Really, anything that she can come up with that 1. Makes students spend copious amounts of time out of class, and #2. Will make you learn the material better, or #3. Is highly amusing and perhaps embarassing, in order to get extra credit (usually 1 or 2 a semester like this). This class does require alot of time, and I regret taking it during a semester where I was taking 19 hrs, and working 20+ hours a week, especially with the required study group, etc. I did get an A in this class, but only though good studying, good rote memorization skills, and a good study group to keep me on task (sometimes), and to point out things I had missed, or misunderstood. The primary abilities that will get you through this class are #1. The ability to write GOOD, COMPLETE class notes VERY FAST. #2. The ability to memorize upwards of 30-40 defs, and be able to recite them word-for-word by the time the semester is over. #3. The ability to take her teaching style with an open hand, and love it. She really is funny after about the 3rd week of class (REALLY, NO JOKE). She tries to burn off the flakes at the beginning of class, with the two sections of this class dropping from 90 people each to about 20-30 each before the first exam (no exaggeration). Overall, this class was so different, demanding, and personality-filled that it really taught me alot about logic, and left me with a permanent memory of this class, and a smile whenever I think back to it.
