“Thank you for making the classes engaging and fun! It was funny how you sometimes wrote “just kidding” on the slides and thank you for sending additional resources in the emails after class.”
“Thank you for teaching this class! You made this class extremely interesting even when something is extremely hard. The debates were so fun and the stories you told were a great way of teaching people how things worked. Thank you!”
