Professor Lynch,
You're an excellent teacher. Thanks so much for a great class. You are
passionate about this subject and it shows in your teaching. I learned a lot
about getting a message across to an individual or an audience properly.
It takes a lot to do for little pay but you care about your profession and are
very, very good at teaching it.

I really appreciate the "open forum" format of the class, there are
allot of experience in a bunch of areas and I enjoy hearing from
everyone in the class as well as from the instructor.
Thank you very much, Dr. Lynch for, being so supportive and helpful for
the entire semester. I enjoyed and learned so much both about giving
speech and stuff that my classmates presented to the class.
Today, a friend asked for my opinion regarding your class. I told her
that if she really wanted to learn and ready to put in effort, she
wouldn't be disappointed; otherwise, stay away from your class at all
costs.
I really had an awesome time during the course and I actually felt a
little strange when I realized that it was over. Everyone was wonderful
and I think you did such a terrific job.
Thanks again,
Kawin
Thank you for being understanding and approachable during the whole
semester. You always accomodated my questions and inquiries.
Merry Christmas,

Thank you so much for your patience and I think you are a wonderful
instructor. It is clear this is a lot to learn in 4 weeks, and you
were fabulous at delivering the information in a variety of ways so I
feel comfortable quite a bit will stay with me.
Thanks again,

Mr. Lynch,
I intend to write a strong positive formal letter for you when I am not
groggy. I just logged in to see my grade on the Final. I am surprised I
did so well but truthfully I did study for days on end. My reason for
surprise is not that I did not understand or grasp the materiel but the
way my brain functions at this time in my life is a frustrating thing
to me. I struggle with short term memory and focus. Perhaps I just got
out of the habit on focus but the menopause is too real and in my
opinion too invasive into my life.
More later,...
Sincerely,
Marilyn Cruson
Professor Lynch,
Thanks so much for a great class. You are passionate about this
subject and it shows in your teaching. I learned a lot about getting a
message across to an audience properly. I like that you recognized
when students needed a little extra encouragement and inspired the
class to get involved and help each other out. If anyone were to ask
me if they should take your class, I would tell them 'Absolutely YES!
He is a great teacher!'

What a class!
I have taken a lot of classes, a lot of them were over 10 years ago and
many didn't transfer; I have to say one thing is for sure: you made me
think, and I learned something!... I think that is the greatest
compliment a Teacher can get! especially from a stubborn old bastard
like me. You Rock! ( I think thats still a good thing, LOL)
I enjoyed the class, all the students and your teaching sir. Have fun
in the future and if you have any questions or there is anything I
might be able to do for you my department e mail is Z5845m@lvmpd.com.
contact me any time..

Thanks again ,you were right I am sooooo glad I had you as a mentor
for Com 101. Everything you wrote the first day on WebCT did come
true! Please note the new address after 14 years. Because of your
class, I am turning into a tech geek and even ventured into high speed
internet. I was able to feed 2 birds with that one slice of bread.
Kindest regards,

I had a great time in your class and I learned a lot from you! I was
very nervous to begin and terrified of this class, but it turned out to
be my favorite. I think you deserve all the credit for it! You are a
great teacher and you are patient with those that need a little extra
instruction. Thank you again for a wonderful experience!
Kathy Wilson
You are a very challenging prof. in a good way... I command you for
that... and another thing, you were fair in the way you treated us in
the classroom. I learned a lot from you.. :-)
-Ivan B.
It was a pleasure being your student Mr. Art... :-) We will miss you
for sure...
I sure will tell everyone I meet to take your class. i really enjoyed
it and i feel i learned a whole lot to bad you do not teach other
fields.
i do hope your job is not one that is cut because this class was the
best class i've taken so far.

I've learned a lot from this course. Now I can speak myself out in
front of the people. This is one of many things I've learned from this
class. Thank you for being too challenging! (in a good way). :-)
I am very glad that you are a fair grader and I had a good experience
in your class I really enjoyed it and the people that were in it ...
Thank you,
Tony Garavito
I just wanted to say thank you for an awesome semester. I couldn’t have
asked for anything more for my first semester at college. I had a blast
and I learned. Thanks.
Jennifer Webber
Hey Art,
Just let you know, it was a fun and awesome semester. Especially with
the everyday political, non-political and economic random facts
discussion, it is pretty enlightening.
I don't exactly view the world in the same perspective anymore, thanks
to you (lol). :o)

Hi Professor Lynch,

I can and will speak as a reference for Professor Art Lynch at any
time. As a senior returning student, I currently work for the college
taking notes for students and can be reached through that department. I
may also be reached at gl0_b0@yahoo.com (zero’s not ‘o’).
Mr. Lynch you’re an awesome professor I love being in your class. You
are very knowledgeable and know your stuff. You bring up interesting
topics and discussion and make the class room environment fun and good
place to learn. During this course you have answered any and every
question I have had. And you have done the same for others.

Hey Art,
I took your class in January and I promised that I'd update you
when my baby was born. I was the pregnant woman that looked like I'd
pop any time. Well, Nicholas was due March 13th, but came two weeks
early. He was born February 28th at 10:10pm. He was 7 pounds, 5 ounces
and 19 inches long. He has a full head of dark brown hair and blue/grey
eyes. Sorry I didn't e-mail sooner, but things have been crazy as is to
be expected with a new baby. I hope you and your wife are doing well.
Again I want to let you know that I really enjoyed taking your class
and still use what we learned in my everyday life. I believe your class
really helped me as both a communicator and a listener. Thanks!

(I know this e-mail will say it was sent by Caroline Fadely.....that's

Thank you for your help in my first semester in college at the age of
50. You have been a great help in educating me through your
Communication 101 class. Keep up the good work!

I am glad that I did "stick it out." This class has been one of the
more rewarding classes that I have taken at CCSN.

Well, my number one goal is to get into the Nursing program at UNLV.
The number two goal is to graduate with honors. The nursing program
requires me to have high grades in certain biology classes while just
getting at least a B in other disciplines. For some reason, I didn't
realize our class was a +/- grade class. Because of that, I just
Focused on making my Microbiology class a B+ instead of a B. I know it
seems like I really dropped the ball but I scored a 98.2% on my
Microbiology final, pushing my grade up from a B to a B+.
A good friend of mine mentioned something to me. He mentioned how many
Korean families tend to teach their kids that life was a ladder. You
have to keep climbing. Once you get to the top, everything will come--
marriage, career, education, and success. Life however is not like that
ladder. It's like a balance. If you try to put everything on one side,
then the other side will completely fall apart. Also, if that one thing
you depend in life on falls apart, you have absolutely nothing--quite
similar to that whole "all your eggs in one basket." In other words,
balance is key.
On another note, we always remember that the more difficult the path
is, the more you'll be happy when you reach your destination. It seems
like you have a lot going on in your life but at the same time, I know
for strong people like us, we always find ways to persevere. Whether
it's true or not, always tell yourself "if you tried your best, you'd
be the best." You're going to do great and when people see your name,
"Art Lynch", they will think of the many accomplishments you've made.
Regardless of what my stupid counselor said, when people will judge me,
I know they will not remember an A in 4-5 of my classes, rather they'll
remember the C I got a couple years ago in my Pizza Dough Roughing
class. We always have to do our best to be balanced (the C is
representation of the one mistakes I make in life, not the literal C).
This lady is obviously messing with my balance!
Thanks for your nice words. I've been fortunate to have a lot of
successful people say kind words to me and constantly encouraging me
towards success. If it wasn't for those
people, I know I wouldn't be so strong.
Such a relief the semester is over. Now find myself with free time and
little idea of where to spend it. Summer school is a bust, the classes I
need, full. I had enrolled in the class in Spain through June. Not
enough people singed up so the class was canceled, but only after we
purchased airfare. So now we're “stuck” going to Europe for a month
without any particular place to be. Should be some summer. Good way to
wind down after the semester. Speaking of semesters, it was good working
with you. Tough but good. An afterthought, I should have signed the
picture of Amy Tan signing the playbill. If you want that signature,
drop me a line, anytime. Thanks, and don't let the Microsoft getcha
down.

I have totally enjoyed the 4 weeks in your class, and it has helped
tremendously in my realizing that I can even TAKE this class (just
signing up was terrifying :) due to my absolute paranoia of public
speaking.
It boils down to a time crunch, and biting off more than I can deal
with. You are a great instructor, and have truly inspired me to keep
up with current affairs, AND to have an opinion.
I hope to sign up for your class again, but not sure when. I am still
taking precalculus and evolutionary biology this semester.
I would just like to say that I have enjoyed this class very much. I
started out this term taking this class only because it was a
requirement. However, my views have changed since then and now I look
forward to coming to class. I have made friends with several people in
the class and I think that the group of students as a whole have great
chemistry. I really appreciate your availability on WebCT for help. I
especially found this helpful for my informative speech and I just want
to thank you for all of your help. This has been a wonderful experience
for me and I do feel that I have improved my public speaking skills
because of this course.
Thanks for everything,
Caitlin Saladino
Thank you Mr. Lynch for such an awesome class. You made it fun and interesting. Good
luck with you paper today and happy holidays to you and your family.
thanks for a great semester. enjoy your holiday!!- hopefully i'll see you around

Oh my gosh.. I can't stop crying.. happy tears though. Mom and I are
celebrating! :)
You really are a great teacher, and not just because you worked with my
grade, I mean all around, a very great professor.
Thank you so. I know I can do better, I know I can, and if I ever have
you as my teach again, i'll prove it. :) Maybe you'll see me perform a
solo at a Boulder City event sometime or something. :)
Thank you Mr. Lynch! Tears of joy on this end of the pc. I'll let you
know if I get back into the Park service!It takes some processing time
because its government, but I just need to turn grades into them, once
i get my psy. 101 grade, then I'll know. :)
