NAME OF PROPOSAL: __ASL 220 American Sign Language IV
I.
GENERAL RATIONALE:
(Give an overview of the proposed change.)
This proposal is for a change to ASL220: American Sign Language IV. Currently, the course requires
3 hours of lecture and 3 hours of lab for a total of 4 credits. Upon review of the course, it was
determined that the ASL Studies sequence does not need lab hours to meet course learning outcomes,
program learning outcomes or employment requirements.
This proposal would change ASL 220: American Sign Language IV to 3 credits, eliminating the 3 lab
hours. This would parallel other language courses at SCCC.
II.
CATALOG DESCRIPTION:
(Complete this section only if you wish to revise the catalog description which can include a
change in course name or number, prerequisites, corequisites, concurrent enrollment, etc., as
well as changes to the actual description of the course. Provide the current as well as the
proposed description, and state a rationale for the proposed change.)
Current Description: ASL 220, 4 cr. hrs:
Integrates well-developed American Sign Language communicative skills with interactive
opportunities within the community of language users, i.e., the deaf community. Emphasis
on cultural aspects inherent in the language: literature, values and attitudes, regional and
social variations. (3 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. laboratory.) Prerequisite: ASL 201
Proposed Description:
(Give the exact description you wish to see in the catalog for this course, including
prerequisites, corequisites, concurrent enrollment and any other stipulations you wish to
include in the catalog description. Assume the description on this form will be copied and
pasted directly into the catalog, Banner, and all other places where course descriptions are
referenced.)
ASL 220, 3 cr. Hrs:
Integrates American Sign Language communication skills with daily conversation skills and
vocabulary. Includes introduction to translation of written text into ASL and making formal
presentations in ASL. (3 hrs. lecture.) Prerequisite: ASL 201
Reason for Change:
(State rationale for course revision. Demonstrate why this is a course revision and NOT a new
course.)
ASL 220, with lab hours, was developed as part of the ASL/English Interpretation Program, which is
no longer offered at SCCC. The course currently requires 3 hours lecture and 3 hours lab for a total of
4 credits. Upon review of the course, it was determined that the ASL Studies sequence does not need
lab hours to meet course learning outcomes, program learning outcomes or employment
requirements. This proposal would change ASL 220: American Sign Language IV to 3 credits,
eliminating the 3 lab hours. This would parallel other language courses at SCCC.
Lecture content remains the same.

Homework:
Students will prepare 3 expressive assignments to present during class. Students
will also be asked to share with the class any personal experiences they’ve had
with the Deaf Community.
Reaction Paper:
Students are required to attend four “Deaf Events” during the semester and
write a reaction paper on the experiences. Details of this assignment are
outlined below.
Quizzes:
Throughout this course, students will be quizzed on their “receptive skills,”
meaning their ability to understand individual signs, fingerspelling, and short
sentences. Nine quizzes will be based on the Vista curriculum. Four will be
ALL FORMS MUST BE SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY
ASL Studies course revision proposal ASL IV f 2015
based on the video, “Bird of a Different Feather”. One quiz will be a written
assessment of students’ ability to apply facts about Deaf Culture.
Midterm:
The midterm will assess students’ receptive and expressive skills. Expressive
skills refer to the students’ ability to produce signs. The receptive portion of the
midterm will be conducted in class while the expressive portion will be done in
a 1:1 session with the instructor and will be videotaped.
Final:
The final exam will also assess students’ receptive and expressive skills using
the same format as the midterm. Students will receive 1:1 feedback on their
final performance exam during the last class period.
Deaf Culture Experience Reaction Papers
Requirements: For each reaction paper assigned, you must first attend a pre-approve Deaf
Culture event for at least an hour. After the event, share your reactions to the experience in a
two page, typed, double-spaced paper. In your paper, avoid the logistical details of the
experience and focus on how you felt, how communication went, and any examples of Deaf
culture you may have experienced or observed.
Deaf Events are posted on the bulletin board outside of R-114 on the first floor of this building.
You can also subscribe to http://www.deafnyc.com/ to get notices sent directly to your email;
this is free!
If you have not attended or made plans to attend the required number of pre-approved Deaf
Culture events by the date required you must email the ASL Program Coordinator explaining
your reason for not satisfying this course requirement. The Program Coordinator will then
assign you an alternative assignment to complete before the end of the semester. The
Coordinator can be reached at heckerj@sunysuffolk.edu.
Academic Honesty: The ASL Program has a zero tolerance policy regarding academic dishonesty. All
incidents of cheating in any ASL Program class will be reported to the ASL Program Coordinator and
dealt with according to SCCC policy. See Student Handbook or SCCC Catalog for college policies
regarding academic integrity.
CLASS ATTENDANCE:
The college expects that each student will exercise personal responsibility with regard to class
attendance. All students are expected to attend every class session of each course for which they are
registered. Students are responsible for all that transpires in class whether or not they are in attendance,
even if absences are the result of late registration or add/drop activity at the beginning of a term as
permitted by college policy. The college defines excessive absence or lateness as more than the equivalent
of one week of class meetings during the semester. As this class meets twice a week, that means you can
only miss a total of two classes all semester. Excessive absence or lateness may lead to failure in a course
or removal from the class roster.
Because it is your responsibility to find out what was covered in a missed class, I suggest you
exchange phone numbers and/or email addresses with two people in class and jot them down
below.

CLASSROOM POLICIES:

Because American Sign Language is a visual, not a spoken language, sign classes at SCCC are
conducted without the use of voice. Students enrolled in ASL courses are expected to
communicate in sign or through writing during class. Students may talk outside the classroom
during breaks. The instructor reserves the right to ask a student to leave the classroom if s/he
violates this policy. The use of voice during a test will cause the student to receive an
automatic “F” on that test.

Cell phones and pagers must be set to silent or vibrate during class time.

The use of messaging devices is limited to outside the classroom for emergencies only.
Frequent exits for the use of messaging devices can be counted as partial absences.

Description of proposal idea and rationale.
(Proposer should present description of proposal idea on this page along with a
rationale for the proposal.)
We are proposing a change to ASL220: American Sign Language IV.
Currently, the course requires 3 hours of lecture and 3 hours of lab for a
total of 4 credits. Upon review of the course, it was determined that the ASL
Studies sequence does not need lab hours to meet course learning
outcomes, program learning outcomes or employment requirements.
This proposal would change ASL 220: American Sign Language IV to 3
credits, eliminating the 3 lab hours. This would parallel other language
courses at SCCC.
