I enjoyed this class even tho the posts were a drag each week. Theres a quiz every two weeks that are based on the book and powerpoint so make sure to read before taking them. Theres 1 paper but it is not difficult and the final isn't difficult at all either.

Very easy class. Modules due every other week with a quiz, videos and powerpoint. One paper and you have to watch movies to do video analyses. She answers to Q&A discussion posts quickly and cares a lot about her students.

Comment:

I took ASL 1 and 2 with Annette and I loved it! I was skeptical about taking ASL because I thought it would be hard to understand but she makes it so easy to understand, if you're able to lip read even better (well at least in ASL 1). Both classes are very easy to pass, just show up to class, do the assignments, and papers and you'll be set.

Proff. Klein is pretty awesome and is very knowledgeable about Deaf studies. In order to be successful in this course you MUST be active in DB 2x a week WITH citations. I found the quizzes to be kinda tricky. I don't think she cares so much about a letter grade than the student actually learning. Take her! You will learn to appreciate Deaf Culture.

Klein is an amazing teacher! She is super nice and funny. No talking allowed in class, but if you don't understand something there are alternative ways of communication. Her main goal is to teach all of her students how to sign and love the deaf community. I would advise everyone to take her class any day!!

She's wonderful. This is an only signing class. So no speaking. There will only be an interpreter there for the first day, but its a amazing class. Good pacing. You won't regret it. 5 pop, 5 test, final test and expressive. Easy class, just dont miss class because you learn something new everyday.

Annette Klein is a fantastic ASL teacher. I've had her for ASL 1, 2, and 3. Her signing is so clear and understandable. Her tests in ASL 2 are sometimes written, sometimes expressive (signing). There is one short paper, several written responses, and you have to go to a couple Deaf events. Overall an easy, fun, and informative class.

Comment:

Ann was by far my favorite teacher at state, I'm so sad I can't take her for ASL 3. She was very laid back but did a great job at teaching and making it interesting so that you would not be lost. She always makes sure the whole class is on the same page before moving on. Loved her and would highly recommend her :)

Nicest, most calm professor I have ever had. She is willing to help. Very patient, being she is teaching only the basics of her language. Test are fairly easy. Make sure you attend the 2 events towards the beginning of the semester.

Such a sweetheart! I took her sister Nat for ASL 1 and she was just like Nat. Very patient, SO willing to help you or slow down to make sure everyone is on the right track, and really cares about her students. She is funny too. You won't regret this class!

Had her for ASL 1 & 2. Loved her so much. She's one of the funniest teachers I've ever had. I'm only sad that I am unable to take her for ASL 3. She's great. You won't regret taking the class! Show up every day & you'll probably get an A.

Everyone loves her. I always wanted to learn enough ASL to get by, but she sparked my interest and now I'm going to continue taking ASL courses for as long as it works with my class schedule. She is an amazing teacher. Seriously, TAKE HER.

I love Annette! She has great humor and is very understanding. She is very patient and will sign to you until you understand. I recommend her for an instructor for ANY CLASS. She gives you a rubric on how she grades her exams, so as long as your tests go according to the rubric, your grade will be an EASY A!

I had her for ASL 3 and she was an awesome teacher. Her signing is super clear and she's always open to answer questions. Just keep up with the vocab for receptive tests. The only real homework assignments were weekly blackboard posts that don't take long at all. I enjoyed this class.

Awesome instructor. Easy class, just take an effort and memorization for the tests and pop quizzes. There is a sign final at the end of the semester. You have to sign exactly the same as a story. It's easy but has a lot of signs. But don't be discourage. TAKE HER CLASS. She's funny and cool!
