STUDENT FEEDBACK
“I will use the knowledge of what I have learned in this class for the rest of my life. I feel that I understand myself better, and I can take the skills that I have learned like kill the critic and free write to help me write better essays and papers. I feel that I can now organize my thoughts better, which helps me put them on paper more effectively. The success that I have obtained from taking this course would not have been possible without you and your help. Thank you for making a difficult subject more manageable for me. When I had trouble writing some of the papers for this class, I would think of your advice, which would help me immensely. The best advice you gave was to leave myself enough time for writing so I would not feel like I had a gun to my head. Thank you again for your all of your help and the hard work and effort you put into this class. You motivated me to do my best.” H.D. Elmhurst College – Journal Evaluation of Class December 2006 “By far, you have been the best instructor I have had. Thank you for being there for me.” D.R. Northeast Lakeview College – Email to Professor October 2005 “I really enjoyed your class and loved the fact that you taught me how to think outside the box. I am going to dearly miss this class! I hope that my future professors are as understanding, kind, patient, and enlightening as you are. Thank you for the great work…” K.F. St. Mary’s University – Email to Professor December 2004 “You have made a difference in my life. You were a refreshing change to all the professors I have had and I will never forget your class. You made the class fun and exciting. You made reading and writing enjoyable for me.” N.S. St. Mary’s University – Email to Professor December 2005 “Professor Gray is always prepared to provide an interactive lecture where we can all get involved with the text; she chooses readings that are interesting, challenging, and stimulating enough for us to come back with thoughtful questions, ideas, and essays. She is very interesting and has a lot of insight into the texts we read; she also gives students time to evaluate our own thoughts by allowing group work occasionally.” Anonymous St. Mary’s University – Teacher Evaluation Fall 2004 "After reading "The Angel in the House," I began to understand the problems she [my wife] was having. It is very hard for her to put aside her responsibilities as a mother and care giver to go to school, even if I assured her that I would help. It has nothing to do with helping her around the house. It is her instinct to be helpful, to clean, to nurture our children, and to take care of our home. The fear of not being successful at both endeavors scared her....I am truly amazed at this. Here I am at my age and I just now realize the untold pressures that a woman must overcome to find herself in this world. I asked my wife to read this story, to see if she felt that she was the angel in our home. It has been the topic of many conversations and for this, I thank you." R.D.
