Here are some notes from my students:
"Thank you so much for the beautiful semester sir, had a really good time with you and I'll probably pick up another history class with you."
"It was a privilege to be a part of your class, professor. I hope you enjoy your break."
"I just wanted to say it was joy to take your class! I truly appreciate your encouragement & understanding during this season we are living in. If no one told you ( but I'm sure you heard this before) You are a great professor who truly cares about their students. Which is very rare. But thank you for your positive words."
"I want to say thank you for introducing me to this study [Critical Race Theory]. I’ve been doing a lot of research, watching many Ted talks, and even asking people their own view on it. My eyes have been opened to how poor our society is structured. This assignment that you gave inspired me to do more research and educate people about it. I never gave much thought to it but it saddens me how horrible the system is for people who are not privileged. Again, I thank you so much for really inspiring me to continue researching about this topic and spreading the knowledge that I’ve learned while completing this assignment. I definitely want to be more involved in change for the society. ONE LAST TIME I thank you Professor for the impact that this assignment has made on me and on the impact I hope to make on others. Have a great rest of your holidays."
Students, I could not have risen to the challenge without your dedication, tenacity of purpose, and unwillingness to quit, regardless of how easy and understandable quitting would have been this semester.
