Below you will find samples of my coursework during my time at Clemson University, as well as brief descriptions of each.
In project 1, I interpreted this same material. By the end of the semester, I was able to reflect on improvement in project 5. I noticed improvement in several areas such as use of classifiers, use of non-manual markers, and stress/emphasis of important words/phrases. I also noted that work needed to be done in areas of cohesion and incorporation of the overall message.
As I continued to work on my interpreting skills, I interpreted about George Washington's troops and the British army. In this project, I noted a few minor errors such as number production and certain sign choice errors. I noted several strengths, however, in areas that had been previous weaknesses, such as discourse mapping and the incorporation of important information.
This was one of the first classes I took with Dr. Jody Cripps. This paper reflects the very beginning of my journey in understanding and advocating for the Deaf community/Deaf culture. The first page is a summary of the readings for that week, and the second page is my thoughts afterwards. It represents the beginning of the skills that Dr. Cripps taught me throughout my time at Clemson.
After a lengthy semester of research on women's history in early modern Europe, I completed this research paper about what menstruation looked like at this time period. I incorporated work from throughout my semester into this paper.
This was my final paper and project from my literature class. I was able to incorporate my ASL curriculum into my reflection of this class. I interpreted a song about religious deconstruction and tied it into several of the works from throughout the semester. It was a culmination of an incredible amount of work I had done, and I was very proud of the product. Above is the paper, not the video of my interpretation.
I co-authored a research paper about what Deaf theatre is, what it has looked like in the past, and what it may look like in the future. I mostly contributed to the section about the National Theatre of the Deaf, however, we all worked together tirelessly to understand all aspects of the papers and create cohesion.Â
