A FINAL MESSAGE FROM Q.

A final message...

 

Dear students,

Wow, this has been a wonderful quarter for me.  I have truly enjoyed being back in the classroom--face-to-face--with all of you.

Every time I teach an English class here, I am aware that most of you have different goals, and most of those goals do not include getting Phd's in English.  However, you have all managed to make your way through this course, and I hope you gained a few skills to improve your writing.

But more importantly, I hope you learned that YOU CAN DO THIS!  I repeat that message consistently because I feel it is the most important take-away from this class.  Yes, I'm happy if you learned a bit of English, but I am thrilled if you have learned that you can persevere through a challenge and come out successfully on the other side.  Every time you thought you had no idea how to complete the essay...and then somehow you did complete the essay, that accomplishment proved YOU CAN DO THIS!  

My greatest hope is that you take that I CAN DO THIS belief into your next course, your first internship, or your new career.
