Okay, I am convinced that the majority of you ladies here on TK give excellent feedback and advice so I'd love an opinion on this.
I have a final tomorrow in a class that I have not really enjoyed, but with a professor who has been amazing. She has proven to be extremely compassionate and understanding, and it is obvious that she adores her job and truly cares for her students. I work here on campus and multiple times she has asked me how work was going and how life in general was going, doing the same with many of my classmates. There is an individual in my class who clearly suffers from some sort of learning disability, and I have seen her come alongside them with extreme patience and genuine care. She is not an easy grader by far, and while she has been tough, she has been more than fair by giving us study guides well in advance and making sure everyone knows what is going on at all times.
So my question is, would you or have you ever given a professor a thank-you note? That was my first instinct as I thought back to how she has run her class (I appreciate no-nonsense professors), but I don't want it to come across as weird. I have been a college student now for well over 5 years and no other professor has left such an impression on me.
