Fearless Student®

Being afraid to come back to school in person after a pandemic was a big deal for me, but after the first few classes, I felt very comfortable. Professor made the classroom an environment where there was no judgment.

I would like to thank my professor for her consistent encouragement to me, and all of her students. I feel strongly that she has helped me further my educational journey through her fearless courses, which has given me the confidence to graduate and continue to a Masters program.

Professor spoke to our class like she really valued what we thought and how we were learning the subject. This is one of the few courses I have taken that makes me think that a professor cares about their students' progress on an individual level. I felt that the style of classroom dynamic set up really benefited this course and my learning.

I was not comfortable talking in class at the beginning because the discussion was over Zoom, and I felt that I could not relate to my peers since I was a different ethnicity than the majority of the students in this class. However, I learned overtime that participating is not so bad.

Being a queer Asian, I never felt that I was treated differently because of my sexuality. Instead, everyone seemed to accept me for who I am. Granted, I didn't "technically" come out to my class. I hinted here and there but I felt that I really belonged in this class.

For the first time in my college course, I felt valued and accepted culturally and linguistically. Professor encourages using one's home language. I feel more comfortable speaking Spanish around monolinguals because I have a stronger sense of pride in being bilingual. Professor creates a welcoming environment that is respectful and inclusive of all students.

Awesome professor who really cares about the success of his students.

The professor assisted us with many opportunities to learn and hear from others as well make the environment comfortable to talk about certain topics.

My experiences in the class was successful. I learned many things but most of all I felt comfortable within my race, gender, and learning environment.

The professor was so amazing, patient, and understandable during the class. She was transparent and felt the struggles that everyone was going through while learning remotely during a pandemic.”

I love that I was noticed. Also, how the course was very inclusive!

The professor truly cares about his students and their well-being. He wants all of his students to succeed and will help you get there…

The professor always checked up on our mental health, and I really appreciate that every time we met for class. He made me want to turn my camera on and interact with discussions.

The professor allows students to feel comfortable to speak up.

I have been able to engage in weekly discussions with the class and I feel comfortable around my peers to give feedback good or bad.

I felt seen, respected, and heard. Any question, advice, or help I needed, I was given. I felt that my professional development was cared about and invested in.

The professor was amazing and always helped make us feel welcome and confident/comfortable enough to participate in class discussions.

Professor has been one of the most empathetic and caring teachers I have had throughout my entire three years of college. She definitely cares about her students and their ability to succeed in her class.

This was the most comfortable I have felt in a classroom in college.

After this class I felt so fearless to speak up and present in front of other classes. Not only that, but I was able to share my point of view without feeling judge for my beliefs.

Professor treats me with respect, listen to my questions, encourage me to do better in my assignments. She inspired me to continue to accomplish my goal and succeed in my studies. Professor moral and academic support got me out of bed to attend her class.

This professor has made me feel comfortable, confident, and at ease with everything this semester. He is very encouraging, and I this is the only class I have not felt stressed I appreciated the very open communication in order to ask questions and ask for help with anything involving the course.

Professor consistently made me feel happy and safe when I am in her class. She is so kind and caring, and she creates such a positive learning environment which is exactly what I need to be successful.

I really respect her academically and the respect she has fostered within me.

The environment in that class was relaxing and safe! I loved the atmosphere created.

This class is the most welcoming I have. I did not expect to be treated as well and as respectfully as this professor treats everyone in the class. She treats and cares for everyone the same regardless of race, gender, or disability.

The professor did an excellent job in letting us know that their classroom was a safe space to learn and make mistakes.
