Both are grammatically correct, but "do not feel" is better usage than "are not feeling."

Which is grammatically correct regardless or irregardless?
'Regardless' is grammatically correct. It means 'without having regard' ('regard-less'). By putting 'ir' in front of it you reverse its meaning and end up with a 'word' which, if it actually existed, would mean 'not without having regard', or, put more simply, 'having regard'. Both the prefix 'ir' and the suffix 'less' serve to reverse the meaning of the root word, so used together they merely cancel each other out. 'Irregardless' is, unfortunately, a common error and results from not thinking about the meaning of what you write. Compare 'irrespective', which also means 'without having regard' ('ir-respective'). You need only one element to reverse the meaning of the root word. You would not write 'irrespectiveless'! It may be that English speakers do not like variety of expression. Certainly, many English speakers confuse similar expressions, mixing them up and cramming them together. There is a word: irregarding, which some confuse with the word regardless, creating the monster "irregardless." Another example is : cannot help but love you ( a confusion of cannot help loving you and cannot but love you) There's certainly no word 'irregarding' in any version of the English language that I am aware of.

Which is grammatically correct - 'She speaks very loudly' or 'She speaks loud'?
She speaks very loudly.Speaks is a verb, and you want to describe how she speaks, so you need to use an adverb.Loudly is an adverb. (Many adverbs end on -ly eg. softly, stupidly, quickly)You cannot use loud, as loud is an adjective, and adjectives can only be used to describe a noun. eg. Turn off that loud music. He was playing his loud guitar.

Is the statement I have not met with your dean individual of you correct?
No, this sentence is not grammatically correct. I'm not sure I fully understand what meaning you intend to convey. I would guess that you are talking about a college where each student is assigned an individual, or personal, dean (?) In that case, you would say 'I have not met with your individual dean', or (better, if I have understood you correctly) 'I have not met with your personal dean.' The phrase 'individual of you' cannot be correct in any circumstances.
