- Hi Scott... at NorthEAstern I have the honor of Mr. Lloyd's teaching
- ^ea, not we
- my American Deaf History class. So far my only complaint was that the school
- did not plan for the appropriate amount of space for the students...
- there were five interpreters in the room, about 35 students, Brian Lloyd,
- a notetaker, a student with an elaborate tape-recording set-up, and a
- long table for Brian. There were about 15 chairs in a room about half
- the size of my living room at home. (That is to say, it was a small room.)
-
- Needless to say the people who got the luxury of standing through the
- lecture were less dirty and grimy than those who chose to sit on the
- floor during the lecture. However, this insufficient space is NO SURPRISE.
-
- Mr. Lloyd seems to have a great sense of humor. He kidded me within
- 30 seconds of my arrival and I found it very entertaining. I arrived
- late because I was looking for Room 114A and the class was in 141A.
- When I arrived he asked me if I was there for Deaf History. All I saw
- was YOU and DEAF and a question-mark face. (He's from New York, so he
- signs fast -- says he.) So I replied "I'm hearing." He said, "Oh, I could
- tell you are hearing by the coat you're wearing. Are you here for Deaf
- History." I was about a thousand shades of crimson due to embarrassment
- and stress (imagine walking late into a room where it's Standing Room
- Only!) but I found it very entertaining.
