Reviews of professor Joel Gelburd

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
JOEL IS GREAT! He is one of those rare professors that obviously cares about how much the students are learning rather than just throwing busy work at them. The class was very fun yet informative. As long as you come to class, do the little amount of homework that is assigned and try, you'll do well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Professor Gelburd by far is one of the most wonderful professor that I have ever had. I would definitely take ASL with him again. He always encourages me to do well in his class. Whenever I am having difficulties with homework, he always offers to have office hours with me. Best professor ever!!! :)))

Joel is a great professor, he's kinda cute too so that's a plus. He is very funny. Unfortunately, he will not speak to you at all but he is not deaf. HE CAN HEAR YOU. He gives a lot of homework; a paper review and workbook homework are due every other week. The final is taken from the workbook videos so make sure to watch them.

I took this class for fun because I've always wanted to learn ASL. Before going to class, I was kind of scared because I was learning a new language. However, this class was not scary at all. Yes, it can be kind of hard, but Joel was a great teacher. He's super supportive and doesn't make you feel bad if you're confused. I truly enjoyed this class!

Joels ASL class is easy. Too easy. After taking him for ASL 1B I realized he shouldnt have passed half the people in the class for ASL 1 - they held back anyone who wanted to learn more because of their lack of knowledge. Homework irrelevant to classes, and he didnt have structure or a solid curriculum. Random assignments and projects.

Joel was an absolute joy to learn with. He has a fun and engaging way of teaching, but he doesn't speak the entire semester, which I found to be quite challenging the first few weeks. Still, I absolutely loved having him as a teacher... and he's not bad to look at, either! I would definitely take his class again. Great class!
