Awesome

For this online class, we needed to accomplish some reading tasks and chat in ASL on weekly discussion boards with our fellow students. The requirements were understandable and doable. Our learning and deeper understanding of the subject is the teacher's main concern. He was continuously reachable by email, showed flexibility, and provided valuable comments. It was a superb class.
