- "May I please use your beautiful essay as a stellar example in future classes? Did I ask you this before, with your first essay? You are a fantastic writer!"
- "Well, I want to give you a 100 out of 25, no matter how illogical. This is another phenomenal essay. So erudite, well-crafted, and funny.... I hope you will do something amazing with your talent for writing."

Of course, your responses to your classmates are wonderful, too."
- "You are amazing - an erudite academic and reasoned writer. Your essays blow me away."
- "You have gone above and beyond this assignment. Your writing is beautiful, you have integrated information from your sources seamlessly, and your intro and conclusion, underlining that Mortality is a pervasive, important and inspiring topic that people can infuse with the values of their time, is wonderful. I really love the way you describe the almost invisible "baroque" elements of color amidst the clearly Neoclassical composition and subject matter. Thank you for being a really wonderful student. May I please use your essay as an example in future classes? Let me know. I hope you have a lovely summer and wish you well in all that you do. I know you will do well."

- "This is a deeply thoughtful paper, lyrically written and beautifully presented...Then you dig into your own experience. I appreciate your candor and will hold it in confidence. You'll let me know if you need a referral to any office in the college's support network, please. But you write lucidly and compellingly about your struggle with depression, your mother and her incredible support, as well as how participating in the march post-election animated your own sense of social activism. Keep that fire burning. Depression can be a "negative" root, but it also takes you close to the heart of life. Van Gogh, the painter, had similar struggles; he also knew it made him "feel things more deeply." You have the gift of being able to express all of that in words. This is a fine piece of work. Keep on."
- "This is a superb piece of work... You're also a good story-teller...I really enjoyed having you in class, and I hope to work with you further. Have a wonderful holiday."
