• "Thanks so much for allowing me to correct my mistake!  I did as you suggested and added the last item to the discussion board.  I appreciate your help.  I've learned a lot from this class and will be putting it to use in two weeks with a new bunch of students.  Thanks again!"
• "This is a great course and "just what the doctor ordered."  Thanks for all your comments and support.  The readings and lessons are very useful and help me to reflect on a year when I received much praise but still took bumps to my self-esteem.  I am really enjoying the interchange with all the members and feel it makes for a very enriching experience."
