Last Blog Prompt for the semester

Ladies & Gentlemen:

This is our last entry for the semester and fortunately for you it won't require much thinking.

It seems like it was just yesterday we began the semester, it has gone by so quickly. I still have a difficult time teaching in the summer as it never feels like it is fair to teach so much content in such a short amount of time. However, as always, I have enjoyed my time with you, and it has been my pleasure to have met you all and had the opportunity to teach you and load you with the tools that you will need for the rest of your college years.

To my 1102 students; remember to always have conviction, believe in what you say or atleast convince your audience that you believe in what you are saying. I'm proud of all of you for sticking around for the challenge and not getting scared off on the first day. It says a lot about your character, or there were no other classes you could take...lol. Whatever the reason was, I'm glad you stuck around.

To my 1930 students; you are just beginning on the road to learning how to argue and analyze and how to compose an analysis or argument. Some of you I will see again next semester and perhaps again in the spring, and I look forward to having the opportunity to preparing you all the way through myself. For those of you who decided to choose another instructor for 1101, well, you'll regret it.....it's ok though, no hard feelings......lol, just kidding. Know however, if you need help, you can still look for me.

For your last entry, please feel free to write on anything you want. Recap the semester, complain, kiss my butt in hopes for a better grade, lol, express your concerns about college, what you did or didn't learn, etc.

That's it folks. Perhaps I will see you around on campus, don't ignore me either or pretend you don't know me! Good luck to all of you!
