I have never experienced a class like this until this one. Dissecting a novel the entire semester, the ins and outs, the ups and downs, and everything in between, made me feel both challenged and inspired. This class is one of the few that have taught me something I didn’t know about myself, and that’s a win in itself—taught me to ask questions, research and allow myself to go deep in thought and enjoy the silence of just being bored and looking forward to having Professor Pressman next semester and applying all that I have taken away to that. Honestly, I just took the class so I can see what fall/ early spring fashions she will bring to next semester.
Looking forward to presenting this final project when I stop procrastinating and dive deep one last time.

This is a wonderful win for me, and I’m deeply grateful that you took the time to reflect on your learning and write it up. I’m also so glad that you’ll be in class with me next semester. I’ll up my fashion game for sure! But, and in all honesty, you were a joy to have in class–your generosity paired with brilliant insights and humility made everyone want to hear you speak. I’m deeply grateful that you appreciated the deep dive!
Hi Brock!
Thank you for speaking up last class, it was inspiring, but also a little bit less stressful because I wasn’t the only one struggling in class and having a hard time. Thank you!
