Hello,
So Sophia flat out told me that if I want to take Public Speaking I must verbally speak it and I cannot use Sign Language or have a translator!
I contacted ACE over this and they told me they require all institutions to do this!
should be interesting to see how this goes down... I'm gonna keep pressing on Sophia to provide DEAF FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVES. They are violating federal law over this too :O
Out of curiosity I reached out to Study.com their customer support said they'll find assistance for me. StraighterLine doesn't even require the deaf to do the video and will accommodate with a doctor's note. I'm considering taking the class even though TESU is reviewing waiving it, just for the 3 credits to transfer in. I already have for Sophia and I want to maximize it.
UPDATE: Sophia reached out and changed their mind. They now suddenly will offer alternatives for deaf!!!!
