Welcome! Thank you for your interest in this flex class! After reading the course description please let me know if you have any questions! 
In this flex class students will get an introduction to American Sign Language. I will post a new video each week. Each video will cover new signs for the weeks topic and the requirements for the students response video. Students will be able to post a response video each week and I will provide feedback on their video and be involved with any discussion posts. There is no time requirement for the video posts and there are no live meetings in this course. When a student posts in discussion feed they have the option to use video or text. Each week a new bonus homework assignment and a student interaction video will be available for students who want to get the most out of this flex course. I will be available for questions and feedback through the classroom and direct messages. This class is great for students who are unavailable for a live meeting.
