Check the
Schedule web page for frequent updates or
changes to your assignments or what has been taught in class that day
and secondly, the News and Updates
page constantly for any announcements during and outside of class
time!
***Once the ASL 123 Grade Sheet is posted, it is your responsibility to
check the Grade Sheet constantly during the quarter to see that the assignments that you have already
turned in are getting recorded. If you feel that I have overlooked
an assignment, please return the paperwork to me so that I can be sure
to document that information. Please hold on to all assignments
that I give back to you for the entire quarter in case I
accidentally do not record homework points or grades. Do not
wait until the end of the quarter to detect a mistake!
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
July 15th:
1. Please keep in mind
that if you do not turn in an assignment on the due date; you can
still turn it in for credit with a few points knocked off for being
late. Deadline for all late homework would be Thursday of
week 7. You have 2 expressive narrative assignments in addition to
your final story at the end of the quarter. Please do them on time
since you are expected to give partner/peer feedback in a timely manner
before your revised video is turned in on the due date.
2. Any
assignment, quiz or test that have been graded; hold on to them
for the entire quarter in case I am missing a grade or
homework points.
3.
Please be aware that on Thursday, July 22nd (week 4) I will not be here
in class. Barbara Hayes will take my place then. I
will be back on Thursday, August 5th to make up next Thursday's
class.
June 29th:
1) Welcome to
American Sign Language 123! I hope you've had a good
break and ready to start a new quarter. Please keep in mind
that if you received less than a 2.0 GPA for ASL 122, you
will not be able to continue in this class as your receptive
and/or expressive skills are not up to par. If that is
the case for some of you, you are welcome to stay for the duration
of the class tonight.
2) Please keep in mind I am
only on the SCCC campus Tuesdays and Thursdays this quarter.
I will only answer my campus emails on these days.
This in turn means my office hours will be for those two days weekly
from 5:00 to 5:30. My website address is:
http://www.seattlecentral.edu/faculty/bbernstein
Please do not lose this address - you will need it to access my
course website as well as other materials such as syllabus, lecture
notes, etc. I will be giving out very few handouts.
3)
Most of my web schedule has been completed. I will still
be fine tuning it and please remember that the schedule is
tentative to changes. Also keep in mind that the Summer
quarter is only 8 weeks long therefore expect at least two
assignments due on the same evening. It behooves you to keep
on top of your homework and not get behind.
4) Lab (Room 1129) -- we will be using it as our classroom from this
Thursday on. When you register for an ASL
class at SCCC, you should have paid lab fees and obtained a student
ID as well.
Always
keep a videotape handy for recording your
expressive homework.
5)
Just about all the
receptive narrative stories you will be watching this quarter are streamed
on my website with the
exception of the Deaf Culture videos. The first Deaf Culture video will be shown in class
but the 2nd one will be an out-of-class assignment. Please
check my web schedule for due dates.
6) Purchase your
books this week and get started on "The
Signing Family" text, part 1. Again, refer to the link in my
Course Resources web page for questions for each part.
7) There
will be no ASL tutor provided during the summer so please take
advantage of study groups and practice with your classmates.
We will talk more about this during syllabus and web discussion this
Thursday.
Websites for your perusal:
One of the films you will be watching this quarter is " For A Deaf
Son".

" For A Deaf Son"... here is the website address:
