Thank you Mrs B for a great introduction to the on-line classroom. You were very helpful and understanding. I hope that the rest of your teaching colleagues are as good :-)

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. B for her guidance and support.

A final note to Mrs. B…  THANK YOU! I enjoyed your guidance and trusted your judgment. I feel that you truly enjoy teaching because it shows in the effort that you put forth. You are very prompt with your responses, kind with your critiques, and guided our discussions nicely. I feel that you are a wonderful introduction to the on-line environment and that any student will enjoy your class.

I would like to say a big thank you to Mrs B, for your patience, understanding, guidance, and support.

I really want to thank you and I'm so grateful for this course. You encouraged me beyond my comfort zone.

You are a role model in professionalism!

I was nervous when Mrs. B. warned us how important writing ability was and that she would “pull no punches” in showing us our mistakes. Her caring attitude throughout the course lessened the sting of viewing the “errors” of my ways.

Thank you...your guidance is invaluable!

I have really enjoyed your class leadership. You stimulate thought and give us such great examples that I can often relate to.Your insight has often cracked me up!  I appreciate how "normally" you have interacted with us--what a gift to relate to others in a non threatening way/sharing information to assist us in our professional and personal growth. Thank you so much

Mrs. Bowman is wonderful. I cannot imagine anybody being able to make Communications an interesting course but she succeeded.She made people want to learn, which is the mark of a true educator.

Mrs B is awesome!!!

Thank you Mrs. B for your guidance, especially with my first experience with a research paper.

Ms. B., thanks again for all your help!!

Thanks, Mrs. B., for all of your guidance and support. I hope my future instructors are as helpful as you have been.

I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Mrs. B. for what I consider to be an outstanding job of coaching all of us over these past eight weeks.

Mrs. Bowman added personal touches to her instruction which provided insight but were also very nice to see. I believe her to be an exceptional instructor in the on-line environment!  

Mrs. B was a great instructor. She assisted in the creation of a positive, and conducive learning environment. Overall, great class, great insructor!

Excellent teaching methods and interaction.

Mrs. B is a very good instructor for the online environment. She is in tune with the technology and, we found out, willing to be corrected, herself :)  I feel that we all learned quite a bit under her unthreatening guidance   

Mrs. Bowman was always available for questions and often provided samples and links to websites that were designed to assist you as well. She accurately identified areas of weakness and provided the feedback necessary for you to improve in that area.

Very helpful and available.

Very informative. Gave examples to class...very helpful!

This instructor showed a real enthusiasm for engaging with students. She was professional and compelled excellence throughout the course while remaining "human" and approachable.  

I learned a lot because of her high expectations.

My instructor was available when ever needed. Her dedication to assisting her students in being successful is admirable! I have learned so much in this course. 

Mrs. B was an absolute delight. She was always there to advise and direct. She was patient throughout our APA Turmoil.  She is a great lady ...and very articulate.

Mrs. Bowman certainly had her hands full with the numerous questions from the class and she went out of her way to provide the information we needed. 

Mrs B. always gives great tips to help out with assignments.

Do we get the honors of having you for our instructor next course? You provide such a great course environment. I have learned so much from this course. Thanks for all you did to help us during this course.

I was really reluctant to take any graduate level classes. However, I have learned much. I don't think that would have been possible were it not for your style of teaching.  I really appreciate the collegial atmosphere you promote. 

I want to thank you for your patience and guidance during the class.  

You were always so caring. I have observed your support  of other students who by all appearances seemed on the verge of quitting,  and with a few sentences posted, turn their attitudes around.

Thank you for your understanding and all the wonderful support and guidance you've provided myself and the class.
You've made returning to school not so frightening.

Once again thanks for the wonderful introduction to Walden University that your course provided. It was a great way to begin.

I just wanted to say thank you for being patient and understanding. Your support meant a lot to me and enabled me to get through a new beginning.

I learned much more then you can imagine. Your guidance and understanding, your willingness to provide endless resources for every problem I had, and we both know, I had plenty :) gave me the support I needed when I felt like giving up. Thank-you!

You pushed (in a good way). I walk away from this class knowing a lot more about APA, writing and using my computer.  What more could you ask for. Thanks so much and you're a great instructor.

Thank you for all of your guidance and great instructing it was truly appreciated!

I hope all of my future professors hold us to the same expectations as you.  Thanks for everything!

Mrs. Bowman is stimulating, helpful, very informative. She made this a non- threatening class for the new student.

I truly enjoyed being a student under Mrs. B. She encouraged me to go out beyond my comfort zone. i have learned a lot  through this course.

Mrs. B. was excellent! She responded in a timely manner, offered great feedback, and was fair with grading. Her class discussions were interesting. I would recommend her to anyone.

Mrs. B. is an outstanding instructor/professor! The professional feedback provided to all during the class was awesome!  This class was the best thing I could have done to prepare for the MSN program. The class should be required.  I will never forget the learning experience gained from this class.  Job well done, Mrs. B.

This was my first experience with on-line classes or on-line anything. The professor was wonderful in helping those who needed additional guidance with "technical support" when needed.

My teacher held her students to a high standard.  However, she did a great job teaching the material. 

The instructor always returned e-mails promptly, and was overall very professional.

Great instructor!!

Leslie Bowman was terrific!

I loved your course. I felt that you've done a great job.

Thank you for a wonderful class...

I felt like ripping my hair out sometimes with all of the APA guidelines, but thank you for all of the great websites and encouragement.  

I know that because of your course, I'm going to be doing much better in future papers. 

You have been a great teacher. I feel like I am more prepared to go forward. I wish I could take another class form you. Thanks for 
everything 

The class was worth every ounce of effort. I appreciate all I learned and will be able to use in future classes and life. Thanks for a 
great experience for my first online class.

Each and every note of "How to say it better, correct punctuation etc."  was very valuable. I know I will take it with me for the 
duration of the MS program and then some.

I just wanted to thank you for proof reading our papers. I know your busy with all of your other work and you still found time to 
help us with our papers.

This course has been positive corrections and I have so much more confidence in "how to" do the papers and presentations. You've 
been most gracious with your time and efforts to get us through our trouble spots.

The discussion threads initiate thought and conversation; Mrs. Bowman stimulated additional interaction and dialogue between
students. I especially appreciated the clarifying statements and encouragement, resources, and weekly guidance from Mrs. Bowman.

I appreciate this course and how you are very supportive to students whose writing is not quite up to what it should be. Your
comments in the discussion area have been very good food for thought.

I will miss Mrs. B. I feel as if she cares about the success of her students and that is to be commended. What I thought was to be a boring class has shattered my expectations. I have enjoyed every minute. I feel more prepared now to complete assignments in a Masters level course. I am glad this was my first class at Walden.

Mrs. B. is a caring, compassionate, and well-educated individual. She is the ultimate professional, expecting the best and projecting that same standard in her communication with the class.
