Reviews of professor Brent Borden

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I loved Brent's class. Brent cares very deeply about teaching ASL as he is Deaf. His class was so entertaining and I learned so much. Make sure you keep ALL of the papers he gives. They are used throughout the semester on all of the assignments. 3-4 assignments assigned Monday and due Sunday. Nothing too unmanageable. Take his class!

the best professor Ive ever had. he is deaf, so understanding him takes some time, but I actually look forward to going to his class. he's funny, he's caring, and his life story is AMAZING. not much homework, only a couple online assignments a week. He cares about his students, im so sad I won't be able to take another class with him

Brent is an amazing ASL teacher and has many connections with the Deaf community around the BG area. He is very funny and deeply cares about teaching ASL. He will give you all the tools you need in order to succeed in ASL, and there are multiple extra credit opportunities. Homework is light, just make sure you show up to class to learn vocabulary.

Communication lacks, his level of care/concern lacks

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Pros: Brent genuinely cares about his students success but you need to put in the effort. He is very willing to help.
Cons: Not tech savvy at all. The syllabus was inaccurate half the time so go by what he says in class. Grades tough but it is necessary to learn sign properly. 
KEEP ALL HANDOUTS. This is not an easy A but if you study youll do good

Brent was a nice professor most of the time. He likes to make students the butt of his jokes and he often says things that are questionable. Make sure to keep every single paper he gives you and go to class. He grades attendance and barely excuses absences. Asking for help is next to impossible though.

Prof. Borden is a really good person, but as a professor, and professional he sucks. He acts like it is a chore to re-teach a sign or sentence. He makes it obvious he respects some students over others, and if you miss class it has to be doctor, military, or atheltic related. Would not take again, but if you're a female you will pass don't worry.

The way he gets the material across is both effective and fun. We had homework due every Sunday which was not difficult. He uses paper notes so I would recommend a folder. The textbook is used, yes, but not largely, mainly for a few assignments so you could get away with sharing a book with someone in the class if possible.

A good professor, keeps the class interesting, and makes sure he is understood. Does not care about outside factors for you missing class unless you have a doctor's note, sports, or military. Did not excuse me for my grandma's funeral. I would take him again but pray that nothing bad happens while you are taking his class because he will not care.
