Last blog for the course

Well, tonight I've decided to blog away.... As I was reading your posts about this class and friends you've made, your worries about not seeing each other after the course or your wishes and hopes to stay friends beyond the duration of this course, again, it made me feel happy. To have such a good atmoshpere in class is very important for the success of the course and for your personal satisfaction. To be honest with you, in the first five weeks, it didn't seem so to me. Then, we had some changes in class; you started working on your projects, and the things got on the "right" track, it seems. Each one of you have brought different qualities to the dynamics of the class. Whether you were chatty, quiet, worried, nurturing, scattered, calm, balanced, or nervous, .... it all worked out together! I quite enjoyed your different personalities.

I wish you all to stay friends wherever life takes you. I wish you success in the university and in life. Good luck!

About your writing

I've just finished reading all of your blogs and comments, and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised, especially with some of you! I can't believe how much your writing has improved! There are still mistakes, but still.... Last time I checked was around the time of the Population blog; now, when I read everything that has been posted in the last week or so, I was very happy. It seems that these research papers and all the hard work you've done really pay off. I don't know if you can see it, but believe me - your teacher is very happy.
