Reviews of professor Taralynn Petrites

Another great quarter with Taralynn! She was very understanding whenever I was absent from class. Her class is usually hybrid so it's easy to catch up if you miss a day or 2. Can't wait to take her ASL153 class next term :)

TL is an amazing first year ASL prof. You get the interpreter for anout the 1st five days and then you're on your own. She does sign at a regular speed but it'll be easier after about a week. If you're worried about not being able to keep up she is more than happy to help!

Very engaging class, she goes to any lengths to ensure that the students understand what she is signing and the concepts she is teaching. Lots of practice, some fun games sprinkled in, overall a fantastic class and my favorite Professor. We all respect her, but she also feels like a mother figure so the classroom feels like (and is) a safe space

TL is great! She is understanding and so funny! I learned so much from her and she has some good ways at learning the info. If you want to learn another language take her class. Great professor and great person, highly recommend!

She loves to help and make sure that everyone is understanding things. This quarter, she had an interpreter at the end of the quarter to open the floor for any questions we have about ASL. She pushes you to obtain what you want in your studies. I respect this professor.

Love Taralynn and her class. She's extremely kind and understanding. Attendance is not necessarily mandatory, but it is graded, and missing class will definitely make the class harder. She's fairly easy to contact outside of class. Already taken one of her classes before and will definitely continue taking more in the future.

Professor Petrites is kind; however, she takes almost a month to grade assignments, and when learning a new language, feedback is important.

TL is such a great professor to the point where I wish I had the time to take up a minor in ASL. The homework is easy if you pay attention in class and study. If you need to take a day off or 2 for any reason, TL understands and won't dock any points unless you don't communicate. If anyone is interested in taking ASL at CWU, TL is the best choice.

TL lectured some heavy, intriguing topics about current Deaf issues that then unfolded into great group discussions. This was different than my usual ASL-focused class but I ended up loving it more than I thought due to Dr. Petrites' passion and the personal experiences she connected to the topics. Genuinely can't wait for next quarter!
