Cause an Effect
Causing an effect with students
Below are just a few examples of how I have been able to cause and effect with students. Changing lives and attitudes about learning or specific topics is the most rewarding reason to be a professor. I've included a few quotes from e-mail messages, my course evaluations from dozens of courses that I have taught since 2009, and two examples of undergraduate research projects that I have led.
"Thank you for being supportive and understanding. You have been a great teacher and I look forward to having you again this summer semester." Michael W.
"I got the job and started my orientation Monday!! Today was my first day actually out taking tickets. I never would have been able to do this without all of your help and guidance. I can't thank you enough for your letter of recommendation." Dawn D.
"You have written the perfect response: you made me feel neither ashamed nor stupid, while showing empathy. I sincerely appreciate this. Even though I didn’t get my way, I still like and respect you because of the way you replied." LaTanya L.
"I truly appreciate you helping me out with this!! By the way, your classes are always the best, really." Justin M.
"This is amazing news! This just made my day, week, month, semester… I am very grateful for all of your help. This will save me so much time and now I can focus on some courses that will count towards my bachelors." Jeff C.
"With your help I will graduate two semesters before I thought I was going to graduate. This is amazing. Thank you so much Professor Yerby!" Matthew O.
