Wishing You Success!

Just one more reason why we don't have finals in this course. Good luck, though, on your exams in your other classes! I know that my English 1020 students will make conscious decisions to spend their lives on their passions. The most important exam, after all, is life, and failure is the only way to ensure success.

I want to recognize the students who have their letters to the editor published:

Through this assignment, I hope that you will see that we can write for reasons other than to earn a grade and for audiences more varied than teachers. We can write to change the world. Unfortunately, the typical writing assignments in school give students very few meaningful reasons to write and often silence students' voices by disconnecting them from real audiences. In this course, though, we dare to be different. I am proud of you and honored to learn from you.

Write on,

Jessica
