The easiest way to succeed in this class is to study the vocab literally 5 minutes before class and you will do much better (yes, that's all it really takes). You'll be embarrassed if you don't study AT ALL because she does question you one-on-one in class.

Allie is easily one of the best teachers I've ever had! She creates a very comfortable, fun, and interesting learning environment. She is funny, extremely proficient in ASL, and makes it clear that she cares about you as a person. I am so glad I took this class and would 100% take any other class taught by her!

She clearly wants students to succeed and reached out to help me even when I didn't deserve it. Difficulty is hard to rate since learning a language is hard, but she does an amazing job teaching ASL. Class is entertaining but in a way that enhances, not detracts from the material learning. I cannot recommend her enough
