"Thank you. You have worked hard to broaden our horizons, to make us take a step or two outside of our comfort zones. You have encouraged us to grow both professionally and personally. You have helped to bring the wholeness of humanity to our learning rather than allowing it to only be an intellectual exercise. You have tried to serve our needs and accommodate our individuality. You have tried to facilitate our development into independent, cooperative instructional designers and team members. Thank you for caring, for listening, and for focusing on what is best for us (which isn't always what we think we want)." (In WebCT Anonymous Course Feedback)
"I know it was a lot of work. But I learned a lot, and that’s the way I like it! I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know my classmates, and their participation added a lot to my learning. Thanks for sharing your projects. They were all excellent! I also genuinely appreciate Ana's effort, expertise, encouragement, guidance, support, and friendship… I guess it's hard to accommodate everyone. You are doing a great job Ana! Especially since it's your first semester!!" (In WebCT Discussion on Project #1 Closing Remarks)
