and now that sections have passed, yet more first impressions, this time for the sake of those blasted gsis!

linguistics 115
morphology and phonology

a movie buff like i am, marc's introductory icebreaker question was "what do you think about the oscar-nominated movies for the best picture category?" and yes, i was the only person in class who saw them all. he's a cool guy, i think, or so the discussion section lets me think so.

linguistics 120
syntax and semantics

such the nerd. he's the affectionate-goober type, but he's tall, too. the section is held in the basement of evans hall (read: no windows), and the room is already disproportionately small, but to stick him in there makes the room look even smaller because of his grotesquely tall, lanky figure.

city planning 110
introduction to city planning

pietro's awesome. i remember hearing nothing but good things about him when people had him for cp115. he structures section very well, and is a good guide concerning what you should and shouldn't emphasize when you're teaching an introductory course. (apparently, jon also had pietro as a gsi.)

city planning 114
urban and regional transportation planning

since the class doesn't really have section, i'm just glad she's not teaching it because 1) she's so not self-confident and 2) her speaking skills, despite reaching the level past high-school, doesn't quite fit in the berkeley academic context.

environmental design c169b
american cultural landscapes, 1900-present

she was an art histroy major, so no. enough said. and with that, i wish i were in ocean's section instead.

outside of class, yay beth prouty!
