Dear Professor Cohen,
I wanted to thank you for one of the most pleasurable learning experiences I have encountered in my educational career. Your class was a sheer joy to attend. You allowed us to grow as individuals, learn from our peers and ourselves by simply guiding us through the process. I just reviewed my portfolio and I was astonished to see in actuality just how much I have truly learned. This portfolio was a brilliant idea because as a future teacher I will use this to guide me. Out of all my classes that I have taken thus far in my graduate program this is the first class where I learned how to write a lesson plan and how to teach children from a creative standpoint. Once again thank you and please let me know what future classes you will be teaching.
Sincerely,
Kelly Lampropoulos
