The entire course was a pleasure to take! Each enriching assignment allowed me to expand my thoughts and experiences regarding the teaching of short stories. I learned new ideas, and creative ways to present information from my classmates and my instructor. I am truly thankful for allowing an extension due to time spent in several hospitals. I was able to continue this class, and gain new perspectives from the literature, as well as from my classmates. I'm very grateful and thankful that the staff of Fresno prayed for myself and my family while going through illness overseas. This is a very special university!

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.
