Reviews of professor James Clark

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This class really was not that hard, you just have to show up for labs and lecture. Lots of office hours I highly recommend going to. Overall a fair amount of work for the level of difficulty.

This professor is extremely unreachable. He does not post homework assignments on time, and never answers emails. Instructions for assignments and projects are vague and confusing.

Prof. Clark is amazing! He doesn't grade harshly and understands that you are still learning the language so your signs may not be perfect compared to that of a professional interpreter. There are a few papers, but as long as they are sign language or deaf culture related they'll work just fine. Easy and fun course! I would 100 % recommend :)

James Clark is a great teacher! Each week we have an assignment, but they are not hard and it is clear what he wants. He is very easygoing, has a sense of humor, and is a really kind person. I had taken ASL 1 before this class with another professor, and it was horrible. I almost did not do ASL 2. I am glad I did because James Clark is great!

This wasn't a bad class but it was very time-consuming. I am annoyed that it is only worth 1 credit. But if you do the practice excel sheets with the lectures you will be fine. Just make sure you pay attention to detail and you dedicate enough time to it each week. There aren't any tests other than the final, but that alone is worth 400 points.

James grades as if you are an elementary student. Misspell a word? -5 points. Forget at period? -5 points. Hardest 1 credit hour class I have ever taken. 2+ hour lectures/HW EVERY week. Final is worth 400 points. All other assignments are only worth 200. Final is extremely long for the given amount of time. Slow grader as well.

He gave vague instructions and graded harshly which was difficult. Some of the labs were too hard for an entry level chem lab and the content didn't follow the C101 content well.

James is friendly and easy going. I have had him for two classes and loved him both times! He is very laid back and his assignments are not hard. His goal is simply for students to learn, not to drown them in homework. As long as you do the assignments, you'll get an easy A. He is also easy to get a hold of! I HIGHLY recommend him for ASL classes!

Dr. Johnson is an instructor and active police man. His own experiences, which he does tell everyone about, did help me understand some concepts. We had chapter quizzes almost weekly, so reading the textbook is important. I honestly did feel that he connected with his students, and although we had 2 papers I believe they were graded fairly.
