When I started college after having dropped out of high school 10 or 15 years earlier I was required to take a remedial course in both English and Math. I took both in summer when they didn't actually have an English teacher available so the linguistics teacher filled in. We went through the entire course material in about a week and spent the rest of the semester studying language in a rather disorganized way. He introduced a few topics to get us started asking questions and then we'd discuss the questions. It was one of the most interesting courses I've ever taken. I learned more and started reading in more new directions because of that course than probably from any learning experience in my life.
