Reviews of professor Jerome Lagaya

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Lagaya was awesome and very nice throughout the semester. His class was very informative and really teaches a lot about ASL and Deaf culture. I really enjoyed him and his class and I feel like he made it really easy to learn a language that can usually be difficult. I definitely recommend!

One of my favorite professors. Knows how to joke around but still be professional. I learned SOO much from this class. He responds pretty quick to emails and is usually in his office. Doesn't waste time, and is VERY organized. Uses videos for exams instead of live signing, better accuracy. Highly recommend taking his class. Wish he taught ASL2. :(

Super short classes, just a quick discussion usually. There's a final presentation worth 40% of your grade, but it's not as bad as it seems at first. He's pretty laid back but be respectful and don't use your voice in his class. The book he has you read is full of great information and all of his exams are open book so I suggest highlighting a lot.

I was adding to class by waitlist. I completed past assignments & got caught up, he marked them all late which lowered grade. I check my module & syllabus to make sure all weekly assignments are submitted & are all checked off, but when I go to check my grades there will be missing assignments & then you cant check the module as he closes them out.

This class is AMAZING! Super easy for me he gives feedback and is clear on how he wants the videos submitted. Not much writing, a couple tests and 4 exams all easy. Prior he gives practice test and reviews USE THEM! Many discussions and summaries but you don't have to respond to others. Take this class you learn a lot and its easy if you practice

In this class, you either know or don't know ASL. If you don't know it and ur taking this class for credit, you will fail this class. His tests are recordings of him signing and u need to understand what he's signing to u and they are timed really short so you can't cheat. Overall he's really funny and accommodating and I really enjoyed his class

Professor Lagaya is a really good professor but definitely tough! The exams are videos of him signing so make sure you know all of the material before the exam. He's really funny and makes certain assignments fun. I highly recommend him for beginners ASL

He is one of the best professors I've had at BC. He is super funny and engages everyone in the classroom to help you learn. The class is based off homework and exams. Going in as someone who didn't know any ASL, I started learning quickly. Very good professor and very good class, he is very helpful and will help with anything you need.
