It was a pleasure working with you all this semester. I hope your final semesters in school prepare you for your career in education. In my opinion there is no career path that can match the rewards as you get as an educator.
To help me improve this course if you could post one last comment on the class blog I would appreciate it. If you have feedback on the projects for example: Which projects did you learn the most from, which would you change and how?
How would you enhance the rigor of the course? Suggestions to enhance or to omit certain aspects?
What would you like to see more of in the future?
Have a fabulous holiday season!
