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 LOVED this course! I enjoyed all the extra readings & videos. I learned a lot. It was hard to stop watching your videos. Bravo & well done.
I've gotten an Associate's in Sign Language and learned a lot about American Deaf Culture and this was a wonderful refresher for me! I did NOT want this class to end!! Please offer more like this!
Amazing course on the American Deaf Culture and a lot of information to discover that I did not already know.
