Feedback from previous students (2004 presentation)
As
someone who
didn’t know much about the area at the outset, I found the lectures
very
pleasant to read and easy to follow. The buildup from simple to more
complex
was done very well, the content was interesting, and examples were very
clear.
Also, little bits of humour and quirkiness were much appreciated!
Very concise and clear. Even though I| had previous knowledge of RT there were many things that I suddenly understood much clearer after having read the lectures. I tried to read as many references as I could and really liked the fact that you had put a lot of work into making so many references available online – it is obviously so much easier just to access a web page and read an article when you have a few minutes to spare than taking the time to go to the library and find the book.
Excellent,
and
very rewarding due to the varied cultural and linguistic backgrounds as
well as
the different levels of familiarity with RT itself, even though some
people
contributed much more to the discussions than others; however the ‘no
pressure’ policy was very appreciated
by those for whom RT was as new as myself.
The lecture notes are excellent. Before I attended the course I had read quite a lot on relevance theory, but I didn’t really gain much and still didn’t quite now what RT is doing. The lecture notes help a lot. They explain very clearly the essential concepts of RT and let readers gain a basic but firm understanding of the subject. I very much appreciate the writing style of Prof. Wilson, always very clear, precise and to the point.
Fantastic:
clear
and readable, even for non-linguists. A lot of good examples. Frequent
repetitions of the same ideas and concepts throughout the course, which
helped
remember them better.
