I'm a third level ASL student. I love learning sign, and I'm a very serious student trying to find ways to practice. Whether its with people, on skype, just in general when I'm talking to my mom and dad I'll sign some things without noticing it.
We have 11 students in class. 3 (including myself) do not talk. Our class rules mainly is no voice in class wait till break or go out of class to speak. Since day one level 3 the same students talk. Guess what? We had our mid-term exam last week....and.... they were talking through the parts of it things like " Did you get that? " or " he went to fast i missed that. " I've got a BAHA, Bone assisted hearing aid, and i turned it off for a test, and i could still hear them in class, and I'm deaf in one ear, hard of hearing in the other. Every few minutes I had to turn (during the test) and sush at them, and i missed a sign or two. I got a 23/35 on my test, I could have done better i know I could have.
On break, I signed too my professor outta the class room and confronted him about me being fed up with the talking. So, I'm stuck now with my buddy in class where one is speaking to the class and I"m signing so our proff can feel including in this talk. I'm not sure which way to go for this, should i be a (pardon my french) hard ass? and chew them out? or should I say stop disrespecting the professor and your students? go along that way?
Its not the first time they were talking through the whole class. Its suppose to be level 3 and my friend and I feel like we're redoing level one again just because he has to stop Over, and Over, and over, and over (continues in her head) to get them to stop talking. I read an e-mail he sent me thanking me for speaking this Tuesday , I'm not going into details, basically he's fed up and feels like he wants to quit because of this.
How do you think my buddy and I should do this talk on Tuesday. Soft hear-ted , mean, in the middle, I mean I almost failed the test because of them. I'm not there to make friends, but I managed to make 2 my buddy and the professor. I don't care if they don't like me.
I've been thinking about this all week.... its been driving me nuts....any thoughts greatly appreciated.
