What do students have to say?

• "There are several examples about each topic, that can help me understand more. Many resources on Canvas to help me review, and these resources are very easy to find! During the class, we have opportunities to talk about our ideas with classmates and have some little practice to help me understand the grammar. In addition to studying hard, Anna will also talk to the students about some interesting topics to help students relax. All in all, it was a very good class and I enjoyed it very much!"
• "Anna is one of the most inspiring instructors I’ve ever had. Her passionate and engaging teaching style, along with her clear and pleasant voice, made every class enjoyable. She introduced us to important concepts such as diversity, inclusion, and equity, and also taught us how to craft effective rhetorical analyses and précis. I genuinely appreciated her class, and I would gladly take another course with her if given the opportunity!"
• "I truly believe Anna is a fantastic teacher who cares about students' wellbeing and knows how to arrange assignments reasonably."
