I really enjoyed this class on both a personal and professional level. There was a lot of choice in the stories that had to read for the class, and I found it to be a great opportunity to read several well-known stories that I had heard of but never actually read for myself. I came away from this class with quite a few texts and resources that I will be able to utilize in my classroom. Every assignment in this class felt both purposeful and practical, and I am grateful to have had this experience.

As an English teacher, I spend so much of my time grading papers that I rarely get to read for pure enjoyment.

Many of the story are stories that I can see some of our middle and high school students being able to relate to. They are also short enough to hold their interest even though I wanted some of them to continue!

This was a great course! It's deceptively simple--read stories and respond, but it requires some thoughtful reflection on the short stories selected and it's an opportunity to look at those stories from the perspective of a student--always a useful technique for a teacher. The little handbook that comes with the text is especially useful and could easily be adapted for a high school classroom.

I wish I had discovered Fresno Pacific University earlier. The convenience and affordability of high quality course work are two very positive factors in this program. I have great ideas to incorporate in my classroom, and I was delighted that I could complete this work with self-selected, self-paced studies. I will recommend Fresno Pacific University's programs to all of my teacher friends looking a for practical, informative, and challenging way to earn graduate credits.

The course was very helpful in identifying and integrating some new short stories for my curriculum, and the instructor was accommodating in allowing me to complete the course during the summer.

I enjoyed the reading and the way the class is 100% self motivated. I also had several questions, which were answered promptly by the instructor.

I learned a lot but would have learned more if there was an on-line chat. Good selection of stories.
