Thank-a-Teacher

“…You have taught me how to read critically through the strategy of annotation and now I can’t read without applying this method. Students are interested in learning because of your energy and are often blown away because of your willingness to engage them as critical thinkers…you often ask me questions in class that I continue to ponder after the lesson is over…”

“…You have an amazing ability to encourage students to contribute and discuss in your class, and I’ve never looked at the clock or checked my phone because I always pay attention and feel engaged…“

“…I am so glad to have been in your class. I finally felt that I knew what was going on and it was the first time in a long time I felt that I felt confident in my ability to do the exams and homework completely…You have opened up a part of computer science that I didn’t think I could ever even mildly understand.“

“…I don’t think I would have the skills to continue my next semester if I hadn’t of taken your class…your recommendation letter did not just get me my internship…it…gave me courage and the strength to go on when I had no more left…If more professors were like you, the world would become a better place for everyone.“

“…thank you for being so encouraging during class..even the little notes on my test really rocked my world. Becoming fluent in Russian is a big goal of mine and you really helped set me on the path to success…“

“Thank you for not giving up on me as a student and seeing my capabilities before my growth even started.“

“…You’ve taught me to look at and appreciate not only my art but myself as well, and that’s a gift I never expected to receive…“

“…As a student that notoriously only shows up on exam days, even I enjoyed attending the lectures simply because of how exciting Dr. Luther made the class. He encouraged questions and discussions, seemed genuinely excited when someone had an extra comment or thought to make, and overall is just a wonderful professor…“

“…thank you for being the Professor who listened and gave me a platform to talk…Your class quickly became the one I would look forward to attend every week…You listened to me when many did not…“
