TOP REVIEWS FROM AMERICAN DEAF CULTURE
Excellent course, I've learned so much about the culture and have plenty of recourses to refer to whenever needed.
The final quiz was worded oddly And repeated itself. Seemed like a glitch?
Course should have an option to skip the video intro music.
I thoroughly enjoyed this class, and the information presented. I loved the instructor's personal anecdotes. I finished all six weeks in just two weeks!
Really liked the prof and learned a lot. It's made me interested in learning more. I wish it was a little more in-depth.
