Reviews of professor Matt Marquis

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
hes a funny teacher but he teaches signs one time and never again the whole semester. he teaches single words but not how to form sentences which is what the final is gonna be and he said he would not help w any questions we have for the final (like how to sign something). all we did was a couple signs then watch deaf videos.

He is a cool professor BUT if your passionate about actually learning ASL you will hate how he doesnt teach sometimes, you will learn nothing but how to spell your name and the basic signs. I was a tutor for multiple students in the class and I would see how they wished to learn more but the teacher only played vids. Easy A tho.

well the thing is i took his class at sb valley college and well we dont do much we dont practice in class all we do is talk watch video of a deaf family communicating we only know a little bit of signs so if you take his class i recommend you to buy the book or just drop waste of time

He is very helpful in explaining his understanding of deaf culture. He is patient with students of all levels. He is very adamant on the deadlines in class, but you have three graded assignments that you can work on the entire class. So just do them and set aside practice time each day and you will be fine!

Matt is super freakin awesome! I grew up with ASL and this guy knows his stuff. Ask him for any sign and he will show you lol. You have to go to learn the signs but really it just depends how interactive you are in class that will determine how much you learn. Easy to pass if you need that but its such a fun and co language.

He's a pretty cool professor but most of the time we would just watch videos. Would not have any graded homework so it's a little hard to learn as I just pushed it to the side. I think he just needs to change his teaching strategies such as being more interactive in class. Only graded on two assignments all semester which was the final.
