I liked the atmosphere of the classroom. The discussions and speakers we had speak to us were always positive and informative. No time wasted. I really liked that we always had something to do and there was always something new to talk about. There were a couple of classes throughout the semester that we finished what we were talking about early, and you let us go early. I appreciate you not dragging class out when we completed what we needed to for the day. I liked all the speakers we had a chance to work with over skype, but I also think it would be good to have one speaker actually come into the class at some point over the semester. I thought that having a midterm was a good idea because there was so much content we learned from our readings, but I did not like the essay questions.   Good feedback. Throughout the semester with the work we were given, I always felt like the feedback I was given was very helpful.   It was always fun having you as a professor becaus...

I think it is good she is monitoring her daughters usage of her phone, but checking it daily is a ...

I am so excited for Thanksgiving Break! Tuesday afternoon cannot come fast enough. I am so bummed the Mount is having classes this week though. Most schools I noticed started their Thanksgiving break this past Friday. I feel that only having classes for two days is a waste of time. Lots of students skips these two days of class anyways, so the number of students in class is less than normal. I would have skipped my classes this week, but one of my classes I have on Tuesday is having one of the most important classes of the semester. I would rather be prepared for an upcoming presentation than blow off class to have a couple more days added onto my Thanksgiving break. My plans for Thanksgiving break are pretty laid back, but I am so excited to go home and see my family and friends. I basically have my whole week planned out already! I am going to a happy hour with all my girlfriends from home on Tuesday. I haven’t seen some of these friends in months! It will be great to catc...
