Conduct of Course:
This course has 45 hours of instruction including a combination of hands-on learning from videos, interactive activities, group and individual practice, discussions in ASL, reviews, lectures, skills practice sessions, and recordings in either D2L or GoReact. Students are encouraged to practice a minimum of 6 hours outside of class.
Lessons are presented in a manner that incorporates students’ lived experiences. Activities provide students with opportunities to engage in meaningful and exploratory conversations. This course builds upon the knowledge gained from ASL 101 and 102.
This is an immersion course, which means students are expected to use only the language of the classroom: ASL.
Participation in class is essential for ASL language acquisition. Should a student miss a class, it is the student’s responsibility to both notify and make arrangements with the instructor to obtain the missed course material.
Regular attendance is essential for success in any course. Absence for any reason does not relieve a student of the responsibility of completing course work and assignments to the satisfaction of the instructor. More than two (2) absences per course may result in probation. Further absences may result in suspension from the program.
In cases of repeated absences due to illness, the student is requested to submit a medical certificate.
