yea I envy that kind of ability. My friend was same. he hardly studied and played Warcraft when he gets home. He's able to understand the material easily and quickly during lecture and quickly reading the textbook. He's a genius but a very lazy one. :mad2:

oh yess. It drove me nuts when i see him doing like that. This is simply that he went to gallaudet. :roll: If he went to other college then he would have studied more than what he did in gallaudet.

That can be true, but remember that almost everyone is taking general education which is easy. But I took few biology/chemistry classes. Boy, they're not funny, don't underestimate the lectures, the teachers don't really sign, they basically TRIES to teach us deaf their way, sometimes it work, but most of the time it doesn't. But I didn't regret going to Gallaudet, I didn't go to most of my classes at Gally, and I only failed 2 classes out of 12 classes. That's Biology Lecture and Computer Programming.

It can be true that we will study more if we went to a college other than Gallaudet, but it's very possible that there's a school that is one step behind Gallaudet.

Hmm, I don't see any difference in this. Sure, Harvard may be a lot more reputable than Gallaudet is but when it comes to the professors, some of them can be a pain in the neck and some of them aren't.

So, What's the point of this?

I'm just speaking from what my friends have told me.

I have a friend who teaches at Gallaudet. He says that a lot of students don't respect their professors and take everything for granted. When I talk with people who went to Harvard, they talk about how awesome their teachers are.

I guess it depends on the individual. That's why I said "I think." :)

lol excellent answer by Gallaudet students since the question was asked by Professor at university thus.... the context of the question is academic-related so the students replied back in same manner - 48 academic weeks! :cool2:

When asked how the students came up with this answer, their response was... "Oh, that's so easy. Each month has 4 weeks. There are 12 months in a year. 12 months at 4 weeks per month equals 48 weeks. EASY!"

interesting. I've attended all kinds - community college, state college, Ivy League, and private college. The professors I've had in those colleges are "awesome" except the private college. Each school has a certain reputation and they do tend to hire professors that match to their reputation. the private school I went was having a financial trouble for a while. Its quality was eroding and it shows by having crappy professors or smart professors who speak broken english.

That clears it up. :)

Well, As for my experience at Gallaudet - I've had some crappy professors and some awesome professors. At the near end of each semester, I'd ask my friends around and have a talk with my Academic Advisor about which professors has the best speciality for each course that I'd be taking for the next semester. It helps to know your way around. :)

So, yeah, it varies on each individual and how they view it that way.
 
The worst prof I had was Mary Malzkuhn. Some of the hearing profs corrected my writings which helped a lot. Some deaf teachers don't do that out of respect for the deaf culture.....Well, some deaf professors actually did and they're the one who don't believed in translating the English textbook to ASL. A friend who is a staff member at Gallaudet mentioned the MJ Bienvenues and Jacobowitzs trying to do that, everything must be in ASL from speaking to writing to books. Not exatly what the hearing world need....

But it is what the deaf students need, and that is of more concern than what the hearing world needs.

I've never had Mary Malzkuhn as a professor but I've heard a lot of things about her.

As for having everything in ASL from signing to writing to books - I think that's where the fine line should be separated at. I'm fine with using ASL in an educational setting but when it comes to write ASL; That is where it should not come in because ASL is not a written language.

However in retrospect; That is where Bi-Bi Setting comes in because it is implemented in both ways and it makes the students connects both pieces together.

To me, this is the same thing as professors in China allowing people in college to write down the literal phonetic translation of Mandarin/Cantonese with English letters as opposed to writing Chinese characters. Not a true form.

Do you honestly believe that that practice is in your best interest?

If they had been denied full access to any language throughout their lives, then yea. It is a shame.

I said COLLEGE people, not delayed teen/adults. If they were denied full access to any language, this is delayed education. Are you telling me it's okay that they can be in COLLEGE and still developing language?

Gallaudet has a special program for those who are struggling in English or ASL in which they have to take non credit courses to improve their English. Many deaf people were failed by the educational systems that didnt know how to meet their needs and they cant stay in school forever. It gives people an opportunity to get the education they were denied...

It would make sense for the special programs, but not the general education. Just my opinion. Dunno if those professors previously mentioned are for general classes or special programs.

Yea, I seriously doubt the professers for the general classes would pull crap like that. I have gone to Gallaudet and all the deaf professors I have met put just as much importance on English as they do with ASL.
