Grade for ASL IV

May 1, 2002 Author: Meredith | Filed under: deafness, education

I got a higher grade in ASL than I’d expected for this semester, though no higher than last semester. In the fall, I got about an 89% for ASL 3 - I was one point short of an A, and I didn’t study very much. This time, I got an 89% again even though I studied, but what really hurt me was the final - which was difficult to prepare for. Here’s how it broke down:

Category	Maximum %	Score
Attendance/Participation	15%	14.25
Quizzes	15%	14
Tests (Expression/Reception)	30%	29
Final Exam	40%	32
Total	100%	89

Recommendations: Take ASL 5 next semester.

[...] The interpreter coordinator for the cruise sent out a mass e-mail to all of the deaf people who will be on the trip, giving the names and e-mail addresses for the three terps. Most of the deaf passengers were listed as their first initial and last name, and I saw one such combination that I recognized as a teacher from Gallaudet. She was my ASL IV teacher, and I knew she was a lesbian but that didn’t necessarily mean anything in this case. So I e-mailed and politely asked if this “J. Doe” was the Jane Doe who taught at Gallaudet, and if not would he or she please forgive the intrusion. It was the same Jane Doe! She is now teaching ASL at a high school in Florida, and she still has the same hearing dog she had just gotten when she was my teacher. The dog won’t be coming along on the cruise, though. But it’s going to be interesting interpreting for one of my former teachers! That happened to me once before while interpreting locally; I recognized a client but couldn’t place her and it turned out she’d led an ASL discussion group offered by the county that I’d participated in some years before. Hopefully I have improved since I was in her class. [...]
