Materials:
There won’t be any textbooks for this class but we will be watching lot of
ASL videos relating to different ASL literature such as performances,
storytelling, presentations and digital compositions.
We will also be doing filming so each individual student can develop their
own ASL literature, so be sure to have a solid shirt with appropriate color
contrasting one’s skin color for the filming part. In our classroom there will
be a closet, so it would be a good idea to leave a shirt for all future
assignments done in school.
We will also be providing the camera and lighting as we use the ASL studio.
Therefore all videos and/or works will be created using the Final Cut Pro X,
FCPX program on the classroom computers and export it to my hard drive
during class time. We will be doing peer reviews and self evaluation
together and individually – the paper would be handed out in class.

Academic Integrity:
It is important for students to be responsible, know, and follow the academic
integrity policy where students develop their own original work and ideas to
not plagiarize ideas or work, to not cheat in and outside of classroom and
learn the idea of citing work or adding reference to the original idea/work.
Class Etiquette:
Basically, follow the golden rule- treat others as how you want to be treated.
Behave properly with respect to all individuals, to listen completely before
sharing or raising hands, and when anyone is talking to think twice before
saying what you want to say. Snacks and drinks are allowed in the classroom
as long as you clean up after yourself.
