Comment:
This class was completely voice off which was very surprising. Debbie is hilarious though. She is very passionate about her subject and only wants to spread the love. She is caring yet tough. She will listen to you. Her grading was always behind; however, she always gave feedback and responded to emails. I am going to miss her.

She is a great teacher. She is sassy and funny as hell. ASL 2 is hard you need to be ready to study. Do not skip class, if you are not learning new vocab you are taking a test. She offers a lot extra credit, do it it can save your grade. Over all I really liked her class.

Comment:
Debbie is the professor you should take if you are planning on getting your interpreting degree. She is a tough grader, and is hard on her students, but she genuinely wants her students to learn. She is a sweet lady when you are one on one and if you express an interest in ASL she will love you forever. I would suggest to take her class!!

Comment:
She is a difficult grader, but made sure everyone understood the material. Unlike ASL 1, the tests were very tricky. Make sure you go to Deaf Interactions. Also, she does a finger spelling assignment in the beginning of the class so make sure you know how to read her fingers. She's a fast finger speller.

Took ASL 2 with Debbie. If you want to learn TAKE HER!!! She is amazing. If you try and enjoy learning it will be easy. Just do the work and follow her instructions. She gives a great foundation to the language for beginners. She is the head of the department for a reason!

Comment:
Grades subjectively and will take off points if she does not agree with you. Turns a fun subject into diatribes and hate fests to guilt trip. Lacks professionalism needed as a teacher, and cannot hide her disdain for students. If you are not familiar with the culture, this can be a nasty intro to it. Take someone else.

Comment:
This professor is the head of the department which makes her think she is the ASL queen. It's her way or the highway. Talks about her students behind their back and has no respect for their private lives. Not professional and very unorganized. High expectations for little teaching.

Comment:
Teaching is riddled with propaganda. The materials she creates for class are littered with mistakes, she even admitted she is unwilling to fix them. Not helpful, very standoffish, and seems to have contempt for her students. Did not feel as though she would grade objectively. Do not recommend.

Great professor. She's very specific about the assessments and how one should do it. She has a bit of a temper but nothing to be scared of. She just wants whats best for her students. She wants them to succeed and be better interpreters.

Wants you to learn the material, will work hard with you. She's got quite a personality, just don't get offended easy. Her classes aren't easy, you'll have to work on it.

I took her for American Sign Language I. She has a bit of an attitude but don't take it to heart. Tests are easy if you study the outlines and are pretty repetitive. Book helps a little, but you mostly need the CD in the back for homework. I liked Drobney a lot and thought she was a great teacher.

A teacher who will correct a Deaf person and tell them they sign wrong! I could not believe that she will accept no other way of signing other than HER way! This school needs more Deaf influence to truly understand sign language!

Debbie is a super fun teacher, we learn with games and group activities which really makes it interesting. there are a few homeworks and a few videos you have to submit but she basically guides you by the hand on what to do. she has been signing for over 20 years so she knows a thing or 2 about ASL. she is the reason I want to be an interpreter.
