TOP REVIEWS FROM AMERICAN DEAF CULTURE
Excellent course, I've learned so much about the culture and have plenty of recourses to refer to whenever needed.
very informative. I enjoyed watching ASL with Dr Terrell and learned so much about the culture of American Deaf.
The course could have gone more in-depth, but it was certainly intriguing and very well done. The personal experiences and course materials were my favorites!
I really enjoyed this course and it improved my knowledge on deaf culture in America. i like the way of the instructors explaining the subject. thank you
