ASL Class Reflection

750 Words3 Pages

Over the course of the semester, I have learned many things from this class that I hope to take with me as I progress through my future. The ideas and concepts that we have talked about in class and also what I have learned from the ASL project have greatly impacted how I view and analyze work that I have done and what I perhaps could do better. Acquiring this skill will be beneficial not only with future employers, but also in other classes and my other passions such as football.
Identification of Learning
For my ASL project, my teammate Dion and I worked together to improve the General Education program here at Eastern Michigan University. This is something that we both thought is important for incoming and current students because many, …show more content…

I think one of these areas would have to be time management. Even though a lot of my time is spent focusing on football, I definitely needed to work on making time for this project and not rush around at the last moment to get it done. I think that this is a skill that I really tried hard to work on for this project since it had been a big deal for not only this class, but also to show myself what I am capable of. Instead of just saying I am going to work on something a certain day, I think next time it would be more effective if I write down and/or set reminders that whatever I have to do needs to get done, no excuses. Something I did well during this project was let my guard down in front of the camera. Speaking into a camera is kind of uncomfortable, but being able to let loose and have fun with it, really helped me climb outside of my comfort zone. One place where I could have worked harder was memorizing the information I was giving. That was something that I should have taken a little more time to work on, not just enough time to get through it once or twice. I think it would have helped the flow of my video a little bit more. If I were to do this project another time, I would try and make the video in less takes. This too would help add more flow to it. Another thing I would do is add a section asking students what they know about the General Education

Previously for a Deaf Event I have read the book Deaf Child Crossing by Marlee Matlin. I found it nteresting to notice some aspects in this book about Marlee that are similar in the main character Megan from Deaf Child Crossing. Marlee herself had a sign put in her neighborhood that said "Caution: Deaf Child Crossing" as well as both her and Megan's love for the color purple. It was cool to find connections between both books. I would highly recommend this book for other ASL students.

I am taking CIS 105 class because I believe that if I were to become an accountant, I should be knowledgeable with the computer. I want to understand the uses of application software to prepare myself for my career in accounting. I’m taking an online class because this is more convenient for me and I 've taken online classes in the past and I didn’t have any problem with it because all my previous instructors are good communicators and that’s all I 'm expecting from Mr. Bill Stewart when I say a good communicator what I mean with that is very clear in giving instructions and willing to give us example of how to do it.

Growing up in a small-town I was literally in a culture bubble. There were almost no deaf people. I just never had the opportunity to converse with someone who is deaf. As I was reading this book I noticed my internal motivation for learning ASL was changing. I now want to learn as much ASL as I possibly can, so I can chat with those I come in contact with that are deaf or hard of hearing.

Adding a true story, which runs throughout the book, supports the readers understand how ASL can be applied in the real world. In addition to bright photographs highlighting deaf individuals, the author put some valuable websites, suggested readings, and a short glossary and index at the back of the book for students to use as an extra resource as well. This inspires students to learn more about ASL and deafness rather than reading one book and moving on. The language is easy to follow and words are printed in different font styles making it easy to read. There are also many pictures throughout the book providing a ton of visual examples.

On the first major project, which was the email assignment, I did not add enough content which caused me to get a lower grade than I wanted. After seeing my grade on that assignment, I worked harder on processing my thoughts and I saw an improvement as the quarter went on. After reading the textbook I have also seen an improvement in my formatting and use of font, white space, and headings. What I have learned Throughout this quarter I have learned many new skills that I will continue to use in the future. Some skills that I learned to include:

My overall experience at Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy was very enjoyable. The ELL class that I sat in on taught me a lot and the students were great to work with. I got the opportunity to develop strong relationships with all of the students because I was also observing in some of their core classes. It was interesting to see how they acted in a regular education classroom then how they acted in their small ELL class. The students were much more outgoing in the ELL class and were always raising their hands to ask questions.

For my first Deaf Event I decided to attend the ASL Study Hall at the Cato Campus on Thursday, October 8th, 2015 from 4 to 6pm. I was nervous about going at first, mainly because I didn’t know how many people were going to show up, or if anyone I knew was going to be there. Thankfully four of my classmates were, so that helped. There were about twenty or so students and we all made a circle while waiting for Shannon and Sam to arrive.

ASB has been a core component of my undergraduate experience, because it has not only altered how I view and relate to myself, but also how I view and relate to the world. For the past three years, ASB has had a remarkable way of meeting me in the midst of my brokenness and supplying me with the time and space to put myself back together. My freshman year, I was struggling with feeling alien on our campus. Although I had a large group of friends and had fallen in love with the Vanderbilt community, I still felt like I was somehow not a “true” Vanderbilt student since certain lifestyle choices didn’t align with the campus majority. My first ASB made me realize what walls I had been holding up, and hearing life maps made me feel more connected to the Vanderbilt community as a whole.

Before long, I knew that was what I wanted to major in. I have been interested in ASL since I was a little kid, and even taught myself the alphabet, so it was not too much of a surprise to me that I enjoyed the class as much as I did. Within the course, we have studied the signs along with aspects of deaf culture, and the discussions in that class have shown me how truly important it is for people in the hearing world to communicate with the deaf and hard of hearing. We can learn any language we want, but the deaf

This class has taught me much, most of which I will be implementing into my schooling and career. One of the top methods, for me, is time management. I am admittedly terrible about procrastinating where it would be in my favor to work ahead. This leads to stress and less quality final work. I have been better about working in segments with short breaks in between, rather than all at once the night before the due date.

Sign language is a course that many schools do not offer as an elective or a foreign language credit. The assistant principal of Seton High School, Susan Hollenbach, explained that many smaller and private schools are not able to offer Sign Language as a course because they are unable to find the staffing and resources for the class. School size and student interest is a big factor in deciding what courses will be created because all the electives and languages are student-driven. This means that if more students show interest in taking ASL courses, it is more possible for it to become a class. Also, the administration has to decide whether or not the certain course will take away from other classes and possibly diminish the class size of another class which
