She is so awesome. She is easy and is a great teacher. She makes learning a language actually fun. Take her!

Great teacher, made me want to continue with ASL and get certified. I learned alot and it is not hard at all if you pay attention!

She is way cool and makes it easy. The fact that she is hearing makes you cheat but its helpful in the beginning.

I love Rita!!She's an amazing teaching and a compassionate person. She makes learning so much FUN! Her takes are not a gimme though so you need to study. On another positive note, she has such pretty eyes and a cute ass!!

rita is one of the coolest people you will ever meet. she a great teacher and person,you will actually look forward to going to her class. she made learning sign language fun and it was really easy.study for the tests and you will get an A. take her!

Tamer is the best! The class wasnt a gimme , but effort will help you get an A. Very funny and extremly talented. Teaches hands on!

Great teacher she is soo cool and funny really helps you understand and is very helpful. my favorite class and professor. Highly recommend this teacher

Some people dont wanna take a hearing teacher because they think she wont know enough about deaf culture. well rita is the best teacher for 1 & 2 (and one of the only hearing teachers)

She knows her stuff and really cares about the students. She is fun and easy going, but doesn't let you get away with stuff. I would advise EVERYONE to take her!! She's great!! Thanks Rita

Just finished a semester with her and can't wait to take SL 2 with her. She truly is the expert in the field at SBC. Couldn't imagine taking anyone else. If you really want to enjoy going to a class take Tamer...she's the best!!

She is the best there is and I love the way she teacher. I can't rave enough about her.

very easy going, gives great instruction.

I actually enjoyed going to this class. Rita is such an easy going teacher and makes learning a difficult language fun. Even people you expect to fail can get something out of her class. If you want an easy A, take her for SL 1 and 2.

I am in the middle of the semester of her class,Rita is great, funny, cares about her students. All u need to do is go to class. 2 1 pg papers, 4 tests, she tells u exactly what is on the tests. Definitly take her. Great class! I will take her for ASL 2.

Rita is really cool, i thought learning a new language was going to be difficult but she makes it fun. she gives you ways of remembering the signs. she tells you whats gonna be on the test and all-in-all she is one of the best!

Rita is the best! whoever put ones for her must have not gone to class. Very easy and very intertaining!

Rita is by far the best teacher in this subject..this was also one of the funnest classes i've ever taken

She is really cool and funny.

She is a great teacher and has a really fun way of teaching the class. All you need to do to pass the class is attend and review your notes. GREAT teacher!

I must say that this is the best class I have ever had. Rita knows her stuff and she is very helpful and very nice. She has a great sense of humor which makes learning a new language fun. Thanks again, Rita, for making want to go back to school.

She's hot and a good teacher, i would tell anyone to take her class if you have a interest in ASL.

She is one of the best teachers imaginable!~ I have totally benefited from her teaching, and I am actually thinking about futhering my education in ASL. She is the best, and you have got to love the llama!

I am now bummed that class is over. I had Rita for all 3 ASL classes and I loved all of them. Rita is a wonderful person and should be appreciated for all that she has given to her students. She listens and understands. She's awesome that way. Thank you, Rita. For everything.

I can say that you should take her!!The class is so fun!you should do extra credit.good experience!I love RITA+her class!!!

OMG take Rita she's the best!!!

I loved this class, I never missed a class it was so cool. You learn so much and she is by far the best Prof. I have had. TAKE HER!!!!! You wont be sorry!!

A wonderful teacher.. great inspiration, clear, understanding, sense of humor, helpful, a joy to have as a teacher. Highly recommended. Even if you dont know ASL that well, she will help you.

the best teacher EVER!!!

Best teacher ever!

I had her & got an easy A! I have deaf parents, but the technicalities in here are taught in ASL, not SEE sign. She's a really great human being, pleasant & she teaches very well. Tests can be a little tricky once in a while, but she clarifies to all students. If you ever need it, tutoring is avail & she talks to each individual w/o any hesitation~

Such a great teacher. She really cares about her students. Her style of teaching makes everyone WANT to learn the language. She has a great sense of humor. If you want to take an ASL class, take her!!

Very good teacher. Fun class and easy. She is a great tecaher and a great person. Im so lucky that she was my first sign teaher or i dont think i would have liked the class so much!

Rita is really cool, but her tests are totally tricky and frustrating. Dont ever take this class as an internet class because you spend all your time in the library watching her videos.

Ignore the last comment. Deaf culture was one of the best classes I've ever had. It taught me a lot about the Deaf and how there were treated. They deserve more respect. If you don't care, then don't waste your time with the class, but if you really want to learn, then enroll. It was the most rewarding experiences I've ever had.

she was a goof teacher

The best teacher ever. She will help you with anything, the final is kinda nerve racking but makes you realize how much you actually learned. She made me want to learn more.

Total hottie!! Awesome class!! Best teacher ever!!

She is a very good teacher wish I could have taken her for Asl 2.

i really enjoyed her class. i learned alot. you do need to go everyday cuz it is hard to learn on your own.

Rita is awesome, she makes the funniest jokes and it really helps you remember the signs. Watch out for the "bird" sign..you'll hear things and its really freaky. If this is your first time taking sign i HIGHLY suggest her. she will help you out so much. you HAVE to go though or you will be far behind. Shes the best!!

Whoever wrote the msg before must be failing cuz she is an awesome teacher who makes sure you got the material before having you leave. She also says "whoever wants to stay after class for more...stay". I bet this person didn't stay and is failing. TOO BAD FOR YOU!!

she is my favorite teacher!! shes so nice and funny and helpful she knows what shes doing and thats important shes a great teacher!!

Very enthusiastic of what she teaches and since she is having fun she wants her students to be the same! Loved her class! It was amazing!

She has a way of capturing your attention while teaching you sign. By the end you don't realize how much you learned. It's FUN!!

All I can say is ENERGY ENGERY ENGERY!!! Man she gets your attention the entire time and then you realize the time

Burst of enegery!!! She is great and has many great stories to tell you. Pay attention and you will do well in class. Take her she is terrific!!

rita is funny, its a really fun class, who would have known that languages are fun. she really hyper, esp. if she drinks soda. :P i had a lot of fun in her class and learned a lot!!

Compared to spanish i figured sign lang. would be a little easier... but Rita makes it A BREEZE. no homework. As long as you show up to class you will pass the class no problem. she is sooo nice!

Totally awesome! Hilarious teacher and says whatever is on her mind. Highly recommend!

Tamer is super easy and very helpful. You must attend class or you will get lost, but she reviews a lot and there isn't much homework. Tests are a little tricky, but if you practice you will do well

Awesome teacher, all you have to do is show up, pay attention and practice. There is hardly any homework and it is easy to get an A.

It was awesome! She makes everything fun. Eveyone wants to continue in sign language after taking her class.

Seriously, the best teacher ever. Her cues and comments help you remember everything like you wouldn't believe. She is funny, personable, very friendly, makes sure everyone understands (no matter how long it takes), and truly cares about all her students. But she won't let anything slide, and she will challenge you to reach your potential.

Rita is HILARIOUS!!!! funnniest teacher ever! she loves Disney land!!! If you need help then she will be glad to help you after class! she works fast and if you tell her to slow down she'll just laugh! shes really sweet BUT she grades hard.... Do your H/W cause she will trick you. Practice a lot (it really helps)

This class is not a gimme. You won't want to miss class, because you will miss too much course content. You need to practice and study your notes, but otherwise, not much homework, as everything is taught in class. Rita is a gifted teacher, knowledgeable, funny, and very invested in helping her students succeed. Great class, incredible teacher.

Who ever writes stupid stuff about Tamer must have sucked in class. This class was the most educational ever! All the students were treated fairly and not one was ever singled out. You must have been still sleeping to dream what you wrote up. Take Tamer she is the BEST!

One of the best teachers I have ever had. You have to show up to class. Studying and practicing is a must. Tests are sometimes tricky but it's still possible to get an A or B in the class.

Rita is soooo funny and its really easy to learn the language!!! PRACTICE/STUDY it helps! everyone does get treated equally and yes she does pick on a few students but if you don't want to get picked on then make sure you pay attention and know your signs! overall she's fun home work was easy (hardly any) and everyone enjoys the class =D

If you think this class is just an easy A, think again. ASL is pretty hard but Rita makes it easy. She is animated and funny and does cute things to make you memorize the words. People who get bad grades in this class probably deserve them(haters!). If you show up and practice that guarentees you an A. Rita is AWESOME!!! Best teacher EVER!!!

Great teacher a little hard but if u watch the videos you'll ace the class. she has a great since of hurmor

she is the best...idk how anyone can fail. set your mind and watch the vids im sure u will do fine....take her take her!! shes the best!!!!

She Is Awesome! She's A Great Teacher. You'll learn a lot. She's clear about how to do good in class. She keeps you laughing and will give you help when you need it!!!!!

Shes so cute. She has a cute sense of humor, and keeps you laughing through the whole class.She just wants you to learn and will give you all the tricks and little hints so it'll stick with you forever. I recommend her. Oh and watching the vids is mandetory! you will fail if you don't watch them! So if you think you'll forget, don't take her online

This class was a 180 from my SL1 class but I loved it. Her lectures are on BB so you can go home and study more before your test if need be. I wish she taught SL3/4. She was unbelievably helpful!

This class was great! I have always had a hard time learning new languages but Prof. Tamer made it really easy for me. I would recommend this class to anyone!

This class was amazing! It let you do the work on your own pace and whenever I had questions Dr. Tamer would respond to them immediately. It's like she's attached to a computer. Highly recommend!!

Love her! She is so gifted at what she does & she is an inspiring professor. Has a great sense of humor! I loved this class so much that I switched my major to communicative disorders. Love it! Very easy and enjoyable classes :)

I LOVE HER! I took her online class and it was great. You learn through videos, which is great to follow along and repeat if necessary. I just didn't love how the tests were presented, but everything else was awesome :) I'd take her again.

I had her for both SL 1 and SL 2 and this class rocks!! She is on the ball and has all the latest and greatest. She always keep us informed with announcements and trys to follows up. Take this class

Mrs. Tamer was a very excellent teacher. I took the online class and it was a very interesting and informational class. It was good because you got to learn at your own pace and turn stuff in on your own time. You have to stay on top of everything and not get too behind. I learned a lot and would like to take SL 2 from her as well. Take the class!

She is a great teacher. I took her online summer course. I did learn many things in the class. She does not give extra credit. I recomend you watch the video twice. Once right befor the quizz online. She has a good sense of humor. I took this clas just for fun. You should be able to get a B in this course fairly easy. Very helpful material.

EASY CLASS! i took online and didnt study for the tests, it was fun and i got it done quickly. Good teacher for online I would take her class again! DONT BUY THE BOOK! waste of money and I never opened mine!

ASL2. Took the 8 week class. Finished in 6 weeks. Very clear slides. There are test and homework assignments for each chapter. The homework is pretty easy. You have to review the slides to do well on the test. All in all pretty easy class.

I loved, loved, loved this course!! Professor Tamer's requirements and deadlines are crystal clear, and she is glad to be of assistance with any questions you may have. Her lessons on video are great and easy to understand, and if you practice and review them as she suggests, you will be signing in no time. :)

AMAZING! She is such a great teacher! i wish she was teaching ASL2 in the spring! If you are a visale learn this would be a great class. her videos are always available to you , and you can email her whenever u need her.

Took this class online, its set up very clearly giving you opportunity to complete sections ahead of time. She responded quickly to all emails. If your going to take SL I recommend online, its 100x easier than in class and can be completed whenever you want. Plus its actually fun!

Never met Dr. Tamer, but her online class actually taught me a lot. she responds to emails fast and her ASL online class is very organized and if you put in some effort, getting an A is very possible.

I took the online 8 week course. All YouTube videos which you are tested on each week. Learn at your own pace (gives you access to all units right away). No book, but makes you pay for an online website to take tests. Last week is optional depending on grade. Gave minimal effort got a B. You'll get an A if you pay attention.

Took this course online during the summer. Very easy, no book but you must pay for an online site where you take the tests. One sentence quiz and one test a week. The test is watching video of her signing (both test and quiz are multiple choice) One easy paper at the end and an optional assignment where you film yourself signing. Highly recommend!!

Took the 8 week on-line course. Put effort into the class and you will get a good grade. There is no text book required, but you have to pay for a testing site to take exams. Always responds to emails quickly. Great professor!

This class was great for my schedule. It's an 8 week class and it was at an easy pace. Watch the lectures and take a quiz and test at the end of the week. Not bad at all

I had this instructor for SL 1 and I found it to be the best fit for my schedule. It was very clear and had plenty of time to complete my quizzes and exams. Since it's only an 8 week class we learned weekly and tested at the end of the week. Thank you Dr. Tamer!! This was a great class and I learned alot. Can't wait til SL 2

It was an 8-week course, so the units and tests were a bit longer, but it was manageable. Each weekly unit had around 30 minutes of video lecture, a 30 question sentence quiz, and a 100 question test. There were also 3 short discussions and a 1-2 page paper. The last assignment is a monologue, which is optional unless it changes your letter grade.

This online class is clear from the first day what is due, when and how long you have to complete it. Once you get that down then you know what is expected.I've sent a lot of emails to her and she would respond in a very respectable time frame. The class is only 8 weeks with 7 tests, there is a lot of work, but it's a laid out .

Super easy class to take online. Her lectures/homework/test are clear to understand. Make sure you study and it will be an easy A. Her grading is based on points. She requires you to attend a deaf event, but if you can't make it then you can write a paper of a deaf topic she picks instead.

I was worried about taking ASL online without someone to communicate with, but Prof Tamer made learning ASL really easy and smooth. You have a test every other week 100 questions (the ?'s get repetitive so its easy), vocab/sentence structure video lectures, deaf event/paper project, & monologue. I enjoyed learning with her & am able to sign easily!

The material was super clear and she responds quickly for help. It's not a hard course, but needs time to practice. Just follow the directions on studying the chapters and it's an easy A. There is 2 quizzes at the end of each chapter and one cumulative at the end.

Dr. Tamer has her exams open for 48 hours. That's more than normal online instructors. If there is an issue she replies back almost immediately. Lots of material, but she does give a study guide. Go by that.

Dr. Tamer is amazing. She puts out weekly video lessons that are very clear and easy to learn from. She doesn't require a text which is great. The exams are open for 48 hours which is more than enough time if you have a busy schedule.

literally only learned the alphabet and numbers and passed with an easy B. if u want an a just study the vocab but i was too lazy.

Overall, this was a very manageable class to take. I was afraid to take it online but found it very easy to learn all of the vocab as long as i watched the lecture videos at least two times. I took the 8-week online course and although it moved pretty quickly, I would have been bored if we had the same vocab for more than one week. Great professor!

Prof. Tamer will inspire you!!! In her lectures, she is outright hilarious and teaches you everything you need to know. SL2 you will need to review your numbers from SL1 and there are the same quizzes and tests each weds if you study for you will pass with flying colors. There are a monologue and Deaf event paper which she isn't a tough grader on.

I took her 8 week course online and will be taking SL 2 with her in the Fall. I appreciate how clear and concise the instructions and requirements are. A 30 question quiz & a 100 question test are administered weekly along with short lectures. We had a few discussions posts as well. Wonderful teacher!

Professor Tamer was a great choice. Her lectures are videos of her teaching ASL, and they were filmed nicely. Don't waste your money buying the books because you never touch them once. Just as long as you study everyday, you'll do just fine. Everything in the class weighs the same, so if you do bad on an assignment, your grade will be fine.

Dr. Tamer is awesome!! I fell in love with sign language because of this professor. Her lectures were easy to follow, informative and very helpful. Im not going to sugar coat the quizzes, they are no joke. She doesnt slow down much when signing and you can only watch them twice. Pay attention and take advantage of her vocab videos.

Dr. Tamer was amazing! She is very clear about what she requires in the course. Everything is laid out for you from day one. I took an 8 week course. There was one short paper & weekly exams with lots of vocabulary videos for each unit so make sure you keep up with those. I loved taking this course and would definitely recommend!

Dr. Tamer was amazing! She really knows how to get through with her lectures. Every week material is given out for us to review and learn. No surprises because she has the schedule for us on day 1. When you email her she replies almost immediately. I would recommend her and am taking her again now for SL 2. You wanna learn ASL, take Dr. Tamer.

Learning SL is not as easy as one might think. I really enjoyed Prof Tamer's online class and its easy to follow structure. She did a great job of teaching SL.

Lectures were easy to follow along with and assignments weren't too difficult. Tests were all 50 questions and multiple choice, with the final being 25 questions. There are only 3 discussion boards and one essay on Deaf culture, which is not much but still gives an idea of what its like. Really interesting class with good professor.

What I appreciated most about Professor Tamer was that she was very to the point. She always gave feedback and was very responsive if I had any questions. 100% looking forward to being her student again for interpreting 1 and 2!

Professor Tamer was very organized and clear. There are only three discussion boards and one essay in the whole class. Each week there is a 50-question test, many lectures, and signed videos, though she canceled those in the time I took her class. Incredibly strict on due dates, no extensions, and no extra credit. Highly recommend this class easy A

The course is very direct and clear. Every week, there is one unit test which is made up of different sections provided in the study material. The work you actually turn in aside from the weekly tests are very minimal. As long as you practice and study off of the videos you will have an easy A. She also responds fast to emails.

As long as you try on your assignments you'll be fine. She doesn't grade harshly. Stay on top of the due dates though because she doesn't accept late work.

Easy A. U now get until the last day of class to finish ALL exams & only have 2 discussion posts & 1 paper due (answer 7 questions w 150 words per ?). Made it easy since I could do the exams whenever. No video of u anymore. Memorize alphabet/#'s & that's 1/2 the points for the exams! Only con was she signs fast in her vids & only lets u watch 2x
