The first exam will take place on Monday, October 17 (in class). A new version of the course calendar reflecting this and subsequent changes has been posted to the Schedule tab.
Summary for F Oct 7
Handouts
Today we reviewed vowels in English and discussed tenseness and rounding in a bit more detail; then we worked through the handout with IPA practice from last class. We didn’t spend class time on the consonant chart (on the back of today’s DQ handout if you were in class), but you can use it to test your knowledge of the place/manner/voicing contrasts we have learned and to organize that information so that it’s easier to remember. I’ll post answer keys to the recent handouts, including the IPA practice, this weekend so that you can check your work and use it when completing Homework #3 (due this Tuesday, which is a “UMass Monday”).
Update (10/8): Here’s an answer key for the IPA practice exercise.
