This class was really interesting to me. Especaially, with the class activities and blog assignment. It was very very helpful to me. English is my second language and often time i am quite in class because i am scared of making mistakes. However, the blog assignment atleast made me write to some extent and gave me an opportunity to share my thaughts and idea with other class mates. I really appreciate the effort that the professor put in making the class interesting. The block assignment, protecting egg and even the one and two way communication assignment. I did not comment a lot of blog but by commenting other people blogs often made me think. I realized that I viewed and thought stuffs in my culture very narrow. Other people's blog made me think broad. The Global way. There are times in a diverse learning environment we cannot express certain things. Because, the way i think might seem akward to others and this prevented me to express my thoughts. But, blog has made that easy. To be honest, blog has now became a mode of communication. I will definately post some interesting things and topics that i will find in my life. Especially, professor's blog will be viewed often.
Thank you professor for all the effort you put in making this class interesting.
I really enjoyed the class.

Hi, I'm glad that you enjoyed the bloggin process and got something useful out of it. Its good that it gets you thinkin- it definetly got me thinking b/c I think it's important to provide useful comments to the reader. It's only with comments that it becomes effective communication; otherwise, it would just be a diary that noone else would read. Althought it may seem tedious to some people to have to blog on other people's site, I think that it's good- it gives people a reason to write meaningful blogs so that they would attract bloggers. And it's great that the professor also visits students' blogs; I'm not sure if he ever visisted mine, but I saw his comments on other's blogs.
I do not think you give yourself enough credit. I have had many conversations with you and definitely enough to determine that english is no longer your second language. You speak very well and affluent, and I think you need to add that to your confidence because you have earned it. Do not worry of making mistakes when you speak, because first off, I barely detect any when I listen to you. Secondly, no one is going to hold it against you, especially at Baruch, where I and I am sure many others, have the understanding that most of the students come from other countries originally. Being quiet can only hold you back, so if I could leave one piece of advice with you, it is to keep speaking with people, because I find it can only open more opportunities for you.
Also, do not get discouraged if you do make mistakes. You can only learn from them. I would also personally like to see you hold some position with the Accounting Society for the next term, and I think the way to achieve it is for you to keep speaking with people and drop your inhibitions. You have every reason to be confident. You have already accomplished a lot, and I hold a great amount of respect for you for the tremendous amount of effort I am sure you had to put in to get this far.
Let us change the world and make it better.
