Key questions
Is this an easy A?
An A is very reachable, but students still need to attend, practice, participate, and complete group work.
Online evidence says assignments are simple, while in-person evidence more strongly ties grades to showing up and practice.
Is the course easy?
Students repeatedly say ASL feels easy to pick up because he teaches clearly and at a followable pace.
Both formats describe the course as accessible, with stronger in-person evidence across many reviews.
Is attendance flexible?
Most reviews mark attendance as mandatory or important because missing class makes it harder to keep up.
The single online review warns students will fall behind if they do not attend, and most in-person reviews also mark attendance as required.
Is this professor recommended?
Students highly recommend him because he makes ASL fun, accessible, and meaningful.
Both formats are positive, but the in-person recommendation evidence is much broader and more consistent.
