Important Reminders!

Hello Everyone,

I have some important reminders to share with you. First, I have not passed the exam back because a few students did not take yet. They will be returned on Wednesday and you may keep them to help you prepare for your exam. I would encourage all of you to develop a study partner of group to help you prepare for this next exam. The amount of information you are required to know has increased dramatically from last term.

*****Workshop is now due, Friday, March 4th.

Draft Requirements (I encourage you to try to complete more than I require on this draft so that you may get more feedback for your final project :

~Table of Contents
~Brief summary of each area

*****Exam is now on Monday, March 7th

Review:

Units 1-17 (not 16)

*****Events will be posted for you to attend at the beginning of the next term. Students needed to complete ASL 1103 before going to events so that they may participate more fully.

Exam on Monday, Feb. 14th

Hello everyone,

Do not forget this coming Monday will be our first exam. This exam will cover information from units 12-14. Be sure to also review past units as well. The focus will be on these units but since this is a language, it is impossible to not have information we have already learned.

Be sure to review:

-table of contents to see what was highlighted each week
-conditional clause, conjunctions, and the concept of feel
-similar vocabulary
-examples:
-replace, decide, explain, postpone, sentence
-other, any
- if, idea
- be sure to be able to identify when sentences are signed right or wrong
-be able to translate sentences from English to ASL
-be sure to review all glosses under each sign vocabulary to ensure you understand the concept
-review information discussed in tutoring

The exam will be:
-multiple choice
-fill in the blank
-true or false
-right or wrong

Good luck

Final Exam Requirements and Directions: Due Dec. 23 at 12:00am

We have been tested on everything that we have needed for the semester with the exception of Unit 11. We have also taken a two week break from the text book and have worked soley on our expressive exams. Therefore, I have decided that your final will be to complete the exercises from Unit 11 and email them to me on or before Dec. 23 at 12:00 am. I am allowing you to use your exam time to do this.


Directions:

For the final all students must complete exercies 11A, 11B, and 11C. This exam will not cover 11d.

11A, 1-10

For numbers 1-10 create a sentence in ASL using the vocabulary listed. Be sure to include either RUN-OUR or DEPLETE in each of your sentences. Remember that RUN-OUT and DEPLETE are not used interchangeably.

Example: POTATOES I EAT MANY. OFTEN POTATOES I RUN-OUT.

11B, 1-6

For numbers 1-6 create a sentence in ASL. Be sure to incorporate the concept of NONE.

Example: 2 WEEKS, MY MOM SEE-NONE.

11C, 1-10

For numbers 1-10 create a sentence in ASL using the vocabulary listed. Be sure to include what classifier is necessary for the vocabulary listed.

Example: YOU MAKE PIE, CL:G-THIN OR CL:G-THICK WHICH?


That's all folks! You made it! I cannot believe how quickly this semester has flown by, can you? I have had so much fun teaching this course. ASL is my passion and I am so honored to share it with you. All of you will make a difference in someone's life. I am so touced by your committment and desire to learn. Your development has been amazing. You should be so proud of how far you have come.

I look forward to continuing our ASL journey together next semester. I hope all of you have a wonderful break! Rest and have fun, you deserve it! Best to all of you during final exams.

Monica
