Professor Vollmar is the best! I have taken ASL I and II with him and have learned so much. He meets us where we're at and is super understanding. The textbook and any quiz/homework is online. Take this class!! ASL is so important!Rate My Professors ↗
Justin was an understanding professor! He uses interpreters to lecture, and if they have an off day, his message might get distorted (absolutely not his fault!!). Lectures got repetitive by the end of the semester, especially the cultural knowledge days, but I feel like I learned a lot throughout the semester.Rate My Professors ↗
Prof Vollmar is amazing! He is so kind and truly interested in his students development. ASL 1 with him is super fun and I learned so much. You'll have a blast! Attendance is mandatory but it's necessary.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Vollmar is amazing! He is very passionate about what he teaches but doesn't make the class overly difficult. If you pay attention and do your assignments, you'll get an A. Attendance is mandatory, but he is very understanding. Tests are online and very straight-forward. Take this class if you need to fullfill a language requirement!!!Rate My Professors ↗
