Summer 2022:

*Also Mrs. Potter if you’re reading this, you’re awesome and I very much appreciate and enjoy your energy every class. You are passionate about what you teach, and you make other professors look dull. Not going to lie there were times where I was not having a good day but listening to you talk to the class and the jokes, you'd make helped make the days better. I’m hoping another class of yours falls under my to do list before I get my associates. 

*This experience was better than the best I had imagined it being. Thank You Miss Potter for being such a truly good Teacher & Person.

*It was so fun, you’re great at what you do thank you!

*My instructor-Jessica Potter was a kind-hearted and sweet person, she was literally like a classmate to us. I really enjoyed my sociology class because of her. But the most favorite part of the class was our culture party which we celebrate on our last day of class. I really enjoyed that day I wore my traditional clothes from our country and also everyone including me brings their famous cultural dish.

Fall 2022:

*-The most interesting thing that I learned in class this semester is being able to have a successful “debate” or conversation with those who are of opposing positions. Having these conversations in class was a great learning moment that allowed me to realize how different everyone is and how different everyone’s backstory/way of growing up was. Despite having conversations with people who thought similarly to me, there were still slight differences and if it weren’t for 1.) the positive atmosphere that was created, 2.) having an in-person class where everyone participated and 3.) the various difficult topics discussed, I would have never had a similar experience or grown so much. Being able to experience this has allowed me to express my thoughts in a professional matter and be able to respect those who are so different from me. Overall, I have had an amazing time in this class, and I want to thank you, Professor Potter, for creating such an amazing and comforting environment. Thank you for this semester and for teaching my most favorite class ever! <3

Spring 2023:

*Thank you for such a fun class! I really enjoyed the focus of sociology in action :) You made this class so interesting and productive at the same time. That takes a real gift. Thank you :)

*I am grateful that I got to experience this course in the

interactive fashion that it was provided, and with the excitement and enthusiasm that it was presented.  With this final

paper being the conclusion of this course, and offering a chance for more reflection, I realize how much I value the

knowledge I have gained and the opportunity it has given me to grow. Thank you for that.

* In the summer was when we had to plan what courses we wanted to take for the semester. I was just going off of what I needed to get into the nursing program, and when I fell upon sociology I just knew I wanted to take that course. My friends took their sociology classes while in high school and I always heard things. I was super excited to hear all the interesting facts and stories. So I registered for it and a few weeks went by and I wanted to make sure my classes were still what I planned and I noticed my teacher was different for my sociology class and I instantly got anxiety. I never heard of this teacher before and I was nervous it was going to be some stuck up rude teacher. Before I knew it, it was the second day of school and my first class of the day was sociology and boy was I nervous. Every morning I usually get a coffee or something to eat. Well on this day I decided on coffee, so I headed to starbucks and as I was inside waiting for my coffee there was a lady in front of me. Brown hair with glasses, and she had a dress on. Someone complimented her dress and she said, “thank you today is my first day teaching at the college and I wanted to look fally”. I thought that was the cutest thing ever and I thought I would love to have that lady as my teacher. My coffee was ready and I headed to school, I got into class and the teacher wasn’t there yet. But you’ll never guess who walked in…Starbucks lady. Once I saw her I knew I’d love the class and I wasn’t wrong...

All in all I believe that this class has allowed me to grow as an individual and I couldn’t have had a better teacher than you. I am forever thankful for this class and I cannot wait to see what my future has for me and how I can use what I have learned into my day to day life.

*It was a pleasure taking your course this semester, Professor Potter. You have been a great mentor and provided us with the opportunity to learn and grow. You have an amazing ability to make all of us feel comfortable in our learning environment.

In short this was a good class to take. The discussions were really eye

opening. There were so many different people from different cultures and they

have a point of view. In nursing we come across all of those topics. I gained some

insight and tools to better handle situations and understand my patients. This

was definitely not a fluff class. We were taught some really important concepts.
