  • This is very helpful. Thank you for posting this.

  • Oy. I loved it when the teacher says, "We have THIS stuff and THIS stuff..."

  • I only know very basic ASL but I love watching your videos for motivation. You sign very beautifully. Thanks for the inspiration!

  • this is so great to watch.

    when i was in high school, a hoh student had an interpreter for his classes. its an inspiration to watch. good job, i want to learn asl..hopefully i could become as fluent as you one day.

  • Forget the Code of Ethics Confidentiality Clause huh?

  • All participants were asked for permission in advance and all enthusiastically agreed.

    Please advise which tenet of the Code of Ethics you feel were compromised. Jumping to conclusions, and spouting off about things you know nothing about, is an excellent way to find yourself violating ethical constraints.

  • zzz....

  • Thank you for providing this video. It gives us up and coming interpreters something to practice! Keep it up. By the way the name is a good one-it's my son's name too!

  • I would like to see everyone below me try this, then have the nerve to speak on it. Your an awesome inerpreter and don't let nobody tell you different. I'm currently in the stages of becoming an interpreter; how long did it take you to start interpreting?

  • wow you are really good at american sign language im very impressed

  • Two points:

    1. I am the interpreter, not the teacher. I interpret what I hear, whether I agree with it or not. I do not censor. If you cannot do this, you cannot be an interpreter. I have interpreted many things that I personally disagreed with. On my own time, I can express my own opinions about politics, religion, or anything else. When I interpret, I give unfiltered, uncensored statements of the hearing and Deaf speakers.

    2. This is a science class, not a religion class.

  • 3charleen3,

    If you think the Big Bang is a lie, then you either a) Don't know anything about it, because the evidence behind that theory is massive, or b) are a religious nut case who thinks dinosaurs walked the earth with humans.

    Take your pick. :)

  • @3charleen3 You make no sense. He's interpreting. He's not teaching the class. Think before you speak.

  • and to think ppl get paid to do this skill :D

  • Please try to understand, this is a science class in a public community college, reporting on the current state of information calculated from scientific observations and data; it is not a religion class. Belief about "creation" is based on faith. Science and religion are separate and distinct areas of human endeavor, and this one is about science.

  • TroyLFullerton,

    Religion invents fiction, not science.  Go watch Thunderf00t's "Why Do People Laugh at Creationists?" series.

    How disgusting is it that science, the very field that gave you every luxury you enjoy, has to be insulted by your uneducated babble?

  • Raven, Doug has previously told me that he doesn't want this to become a debate, since this is about interpreting, so I'm going to respect his wishes. I'll simply say that, ironically, it takes far more faith than I could ever muster to be an atheist--especially after examining the evidence. Science did not give me every luxury I enjoy, and one does not "insult" science by recognizing the facts of creation.

  • A nice transliteration, but I would not call this an ASL interpretation at all. Too many initialized signs, too much English mouth movement, and most of it was all in English grammatical order, not interpreted into ASL. But I will add that this probably the kind of work that the Deaf client wants in a collage classroom.

  • Really awesome. I'm in college and hopefully will be transferring into teaching the deaf. Some day I'll understand what the signs mean. Thanks for sharing.

  • Excellent interpreting on such a tough subject. How would you suggest one to improve their receptive skills? Thanks!

  • The same way one improves receptive skills in their native language: PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, preferably in natural, comfortable interpersonal (social, family, informal) settings where language acquisition can occur naturally. Also, watch videos of signers with different ASL styles.

  • why is he sitting? dont terps usually stand...

  • Interpreters do not normally stand for most routine assignments with one or two Deaf, such as classroom work, meetings, or one-on-one appointments. Interpreters DO stand for large audiences or high-profile situations, which is where the general public is more likely to see them, so many casual observers may get the impression that is more typical.

  • As an Interpreter myself. I stand and sit depending on the clients wishes. I'm there to facilitate communication for them so I have to position myself to meet their needs and wants.

  • VERY kewl. :-D

  • I hate the subject matter (I'm not into science), but I LOVED watching this! :-D Who was manning the camera? :-)

  • This assignment was worked with a team interpreter. The camera was operated by my team, and after that I used her camera to do the same for her. Real teamwork, huh!
