Dear Teacher:

One of my other classes is ETS 116: American Literary History. For this class, we have read: Last of the Mohicans, by James Fenimore Cooper, Hope Leslie by Catherine Maria Sedgwick, and we have just finished A New Home, Who’ll Follow, by Kirkland.

I hated these books. They are so boring. They were all written in the 1830’s when American writers were trying to establish a cultural aspect in America. The result: British writing; I hate British writing. That’s why I am so glad to be reading Hardball by Chris Matthews for this class. I feel it will be much more rewarding. I will need to be writing several essays for the books stated above.

In MAT 517, Partial Differential Equations and Fourier Series, we are learning how to prove the laws of integration.

Dear Teacher:

Overall, I thought that the valentine production project was useless. The few things I thought were effective to this course were the choosing of Audience. If you choose Senior Citizens, you don’t want a valentine with hip-hop lyrics, and so on, or is too tough to make for them. Same goes with the 8 year old boys or girls. You don’t want to put any “steamy” phrases on them. I though that my time could have be better spent solving dynamic equilibrium problems.

Thanks for the opportunities…

Jeffrey
