This is not super easy, but is really interesting. If you go to class and pay attention you will do fine. Tests are not too hard and some questions are repeated.

great guy. some of the stuff he talks about is confusing at first but he goes over it more in detail if asked. test are really easy but you do have to go to lecture to understand everything.

Amazing class. Not an easy "A", though. If you ask him nicely and you have a good rapport with him, ask to see his CV. It's a million pages long! The guy is a total BRAIN and speaks so many languages! Nice guy. I use what I learned in that class now as a speech therapist.

nice easy class! Professor seems genuinely intrigued by the topic and he looks like a cute mr. magoo! You actually learn a bit of interesting things about sign language. I highly suggest this class for Muir Multicultural diversity requirement. :)

Great class to take to kick a Revelle GE out. Easy, exams based on lecture. He re uses some midterm questions for the final, so study your midterm, even if you did well!

Comment:
This man is a genius! Do ALL the reading in lign7. Morphology is hard and his grading scale is very UNclear; go to office hours. I agree he is quite soft spoken and very congenial. He is tough, but totally worth it; he's very passionate and you learn a lot!

One thing I wish I new before taking the midterm and final, is that not only are the readings a big part but also the grammer rules of sign language, so pay attention to and study that part really well. If you know sign language, this class would be a breeze for you.

I haven't taken LIGN 7, but for 120 he's extremely difficult; he assumes you're as brilliant as he is. Despite his helpfulness, try to find a different prof for this class...

Great, helpful teacher. Lectures are very interesting and informative, do ATTEND them. As some people have said before, you can pass the quizzes but still fail the midterm and final. A lot of reading is required. Make sure you dont fall behind or you'll end up suffering.

professor is really passionate about his course so he's willing to answer any questions you have. he tries really hard to remember your name whenever you pose a question. online quizzes/tutorials are easy. midterms okay. as long as you keep up with the reading & lectures you'll do fine. he's awesome

He knows so much it's amazing! His lectures brought out very interesting aspects about the deaf culture that I never knew. Oh yes, tests are a bit tricky but just do readings and go to class. That should do.

Amazing wealth of knowledge. Warm, congenial style; get to class on-time to sit near front, he's kind of quiet. GO TO CLASS if you want to pass. Midterms somewhat tricky if you don't go to lecture. Class book helpful.

This class is really easy, but I still learned a lot from it. Go to lectures (don't worry, they're interesting 95% of the time!), because the information is useful for hw and midterms. Nice guy, I was glad I took this class.

Very interested in his material, though class does get a bit boring. Overall though, the material is interesting. Midterm was kinda difficult because you had to extend your mind from just simple facts. Do reading, understand the concepts, you'll be okay.
