Letters to faculty

Rahman Ghamasaee, mathematics faculty
Hi. I was passing by your office and saw you there. I was going to say hi but you looked busy. So, I just want to tell you that you are a very good teacher and that I really admire you. I’ve learned many things in your class and I’m very grateful for having you as a teacher. I’m not very good with words. That’s why I’m writing. Anyway, thank you again. The world needs more teachers like you. God bless you.

Chad Wilkes
adjunct religion faculty
He has a very friendly class. He listens to everybody. He teaches excellent and explains every detail. He respects everyone, no matter what the religion, or where they come from. He is Number One! God take care of him.

Kam Deleon (Taylor)
adjunct history faculty
She is very energetic, friendly and helpful. She made history fun for everyone. Long hours in her class were a lot of fun for me. After her class, I became very interested in history. Thank you, Kam.

Linda Long, speech faculty
(a compilation of notes from two students)
*Thank you for being a great teacher and mentor. Your advice has made a huge difference for me. I am going to miss NLC, and I’ll never forget you or what you taught me.

*I thoroughly enjoyed you and your class. I wish all teachers could have a little bit of Linda Long in them. You have been an inspiration for my teaching endeavor. Thank you.

Chris Fulmer, Art faculty
I am an ex-student of Professor Chris Fulmer, and I am writing you to give her some praise.

I was in her Drawing 2 class this past fall semester and found her class to be very informative and rather entertaining and fun. She gave plenty of help when needed but was still laid back enough to allow a large amount of expressional freedom to me and the other students. I also found her to be very personable and she took all the time that was needed to help in class with me, while allowing me space to do a lot of self-motivated learning. She is a very nice teacher and among the best I have ever taken.

With that said, I would like to congratulate and thank you for having her as a member of the North Lake faculty. I will recommend her with great ease to everyone I know with an interest in art. She is a wonderful person and I feel I have gained greatly from the experience of having her as a teacher. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Math Department
I want to thank you again. Even though this was a short term, I felt I did learn more with the Interactive Math than in a previous classroom attempt and I felt like I had your support the entire way through (which meant a lot!!!) Everyone I know recommends the North Lake Math department over any DCCCD campus and I will now join in that myself.

Jerry Mesquita, CISCO Faculty
I didn’t really get the chance to personally thank you for your personal assistance and time that you provided. I know that some of the younger students do not always express their appreciation to the instructors because as you know, it’s just one of those things that not all younger students do. However, I do know for a fact that in the CCNA 2 Class, students would prefer your own professional way of teaching as to other instructors. You possess ways of assisting others to understand better along with keeping the students attention, and of course, some students are very articulate and intelligent. Therefore, some studies are quite simple for them. But, we also know that you can’t be at every class.

Again, I’m looking forward to CCNA 3 Class.

Henry Su, biology faculty
I want to thank you for preparing me for the nursing program.

I started school last week and have already had to take a few exams for skills prep. Your class is certainly challenging (for me, the most challenging to date), but for that I am thankful.

Taking your class as my final prereq greatly prepared me for critical thinking skills and the test taking philosophy now adopted by the nursing program. While memorization is still a large part of the program, ie: lab values and performance steps; a much greater emphasis is placed on obtaining a true understanding of the various disease processes and ethical philosophies.

I couldn’t have arranged my pre-req schedule any better! I know I griped a bit about your testing format (short essay answers), but this is exactly what is needed to prepare nursing students. Again thanks a bunch and don’t change a thing.
