Reviews of professor Melanie Seaman

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor is down to earth and it was evident that she knew and cared about the deaf culture and the students. Real life experiences were expected and shared among the students and teacher. Her grading was fair.

Lowkey discriminatory with students that aren't t white. Got my reasons and it is discouraging. She doesn't help that much and Canvas is a mess. Not clear instructions.

She is truly an amazing person and teacher. I never had an issue with her and she was very understanding, she adds late dates on things, but you get weeks to finish the homework. I highly recommend her. Her stories are the best! My major is Deaf Studies, so this class was very important to me. please take her.

Currently in her ASL 5 class. Do not take her. She is confused 24/7 and cannot work Canvas or GoReact properly. I've learned very little yet am expected to have extreme knowledge as an ASL 5 student. The last class was only 30 minutes and 20 minutes was her being confused and then reviewing a few signs from a unit we've been on for 5 weeks.

THIS is by far one of the worse classes I have taken at CSN. In class we only did homework review, and test. This teacher is very fast-paced and a bit insensitive to students who need more clarified understanding. Taking this class has been discouraging.

We did not use a textbook for she published almost every video in Canvas. She is disorganized in Canvas, the homework many times is not clear, she does not show the incorrect answers so you may see what did you failed. Attendance does not matter if you do not talk with her during all the class. She doesn't care if you catch or not the correct sign.

If you take her online, think twice. Her canvas is a mess, not clear with instructions, many glitches in assignments, repeated assignments, waist of time fixing stuff in class, not tech savvy. She is a good professor and caring, but she needs to prepare better doing it online. Grading is weird, you lose points easy, you don't gain points easily.

Professor Seaman is the only teacher I want to learn ASL from. She drills vocabulary and makes sure you learn what you are supposed to get out of the class. She has a great sense of humor and loads of patience. She is the best!

Professor Seaman cares for you. She'll go over vocabulary to make sure you learn well. Gives surprise extra credit in class (so don't skip class). She's flexible, patient, and passionate about Deaf culture. Teaches ASL and not other forms of sign language. If you want to learn ASL and enjoy the process TAKE HER CLASS!

Amazing teacher! She teaches to help you understand the material, not just to pass the class. I hope I get her again for ASL3!!
