Reviews of professor David Wiesblatt

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
David does not answer emails EVER. The syllabus was not followed whatsoever, and he never discusses due dates. You are left in the dark in this course. I very much enjoy learning ASL but the stress of having him as a prof makes it feel like a chore. He can be super nice some classes, and then other classes he'll be SO RUDE.

I really liked the content but Professor Wiesblatt is super hard to learn from. He is SO disorganized and the majority of the course I felt like I had no clue what we were supposed to be doing. If you are able to stay on top of the assignments its a super easy course, but know you're kind of on your own. Wiesblatt doesn't like questions or emails.

Such a fun course, I want to continue learning ASL because of it. He's a great lecturer and super engaging. A little bit of confusion surrounding when assignments were due but marking criteria was clear and he'd usually respond to emails in two days. He seems to have taken the feedback from the other ratings into account. Loved this course!!!

I broke my hand at the end of the term and therefore could not sign for the final video assignment. I asked for a writing assignment instead but he responded to my emails insisting that I could not do that, and that I must submit the video assignment. He had given me a final grade of a 68%, but my faculty made it a pass/fail course.

I truly had an amazing time in his class, one of my favourite courses taken in my undergrad!! He was so funny and really cared about his students doing well. I left with a solid understanding of ASL. Dr.Wiesblatt is deaf so the course is immersion but he uses the white board if needed, and I think you'll surprise yourself by how fast you catch on!

I and other students felt uncomfortable with the way they were treated in class. Overall, it felt like a tense and negative environment. If you disappear for a few minutes during class, he will send you rude messages. Headphones and earphones are banned, so bring earplugs if your family is loud. I did not feel welcome in this class.
