EDSP376 Expecting an A Anonymous 02/21/2025 |
I'm taking Professor Brewster currently for EDSP376, and honestly, this class was my semester's relaxer, so I have no idea what the previous review is protesting about lol. Sure, on the surface, there are a lot of assignments due each week, but each assignment, I kid you not, can take only a few minutes, and you can essentially complete all your tasks for the week under half an hour. HOWEVER, you can only do this, as Professor Brewster stresses, with active preparation. Your only part really is to just come to class and understand the material, so practice your ASL vocab before class starts. Other than that, it's a really fun class and a great course to balance other hard annoying classes. As a bonus, even though she is deaf and the entire class is through signs/chat only, Professor Brewster's really sweet and conducts all sorts of interactive assignments to keep the class entertaining. Would definitely take this class! |

EDSP376 Expecting a C+ Anonymous 01/07/2025 |
I took EDSP376 (Fundamentals of Sign Language) thinking it was going to be a simple, introductory course into ASL but it was very fast paced and the professor created a lot of assignments like a week before they were due and many of them were not in the syllabus. Be prepared to do a lot of unnecessary assignments that take a lot of your time, often make no sense, are confusing in the sense that they are not helping you actually learn how to apply it real life situations where you are signing. The professor opened up the ELMS page late in the beginning of the semester but we still had to complete the assignments by the due date which was shortly after the ELMS page was opened, during the first week of classes. While I learned the basics of communicating in ASL, this class was VERY overwhelming and I do not recommend taking it if you have other classes that are intense and require a lot of your time. You will feel drained. |
