As I was reading through this Module, I was thinking back to my days in college and which classes I was more successful in than others. One of the biggest things that came to mind was the relationship I built with some of my professors. I worked harder in those classes because I did not want to fall behind. In Grad school, I had one professor for 5 of my graduate classes. He was without a doubt one of the best instructors I ever had. I learned how to be a better teacher from him based on the things he had me do as a student, and I saw value in his lessons. I also developed lasting friendships with fellow classmates as we worked on projects together. Graduation should be a big deal to these students. As I work remotely, I cannot be at graduations for students, and it saddens me, as there are many students I worked hard to see succeed. I liked the reminder that graduation is important.
