Although I am taking a lot of classes in ALP, I like Sean’s composition class the best. Frankly speaking, this class is one of the hard classes for me but I can tell this class is the most helpful because of two reasons.
Firstly, we learned a lot of different types of essays. Actually, at the begging of this semester, I had written only two or three types of essays so when I checked a course syllabus in the first class, I was really surprised. However, as we learned new essays and a research paper, I found that I came to read academic articles more easily. It means that writing essays and a research paper were unable me to improve not only my writing skills but also reading skills.
The most important reason I like this class is that we learned how to use database and refworks during the class. Even native students do not know refworks!! I will study next semester in this campus so it will be really helpful. Also, I had a lot chances to discuss my research paper with librarians so I came to know a lot of librarians. They also helped me a lot. However, almost all librarians remember my face so I sometimes feel embarrassed (this is serious!).
Learning how to use database and refworks saves our time when we write a paper, and I hope Sean continue to teach how to how to use database and refworks.
In this class, there are students who are really good at writing and grammar such as Sunny and Kurt. Personally, one of stressful academic tasks is witting a paper. As you know, my essay is sometimes miserable. However, they always encourage me mentally and checked my essays many times. I appreciate them and Sean.

I also feel that how to use database to do research paper and how to cite sources are really important and useful in our future academic performance. I also, thank Sunny and you especially. You guys are really wonderful freinds because you guys help me a lot in many ways. Thank you.
You three were definitely the three musketeers of the class. :-)
Ryoko, do you know that?
I am happy that you are getting better and looks energetic again. As you know, I am busy to complete my research paper and homework. Besides, final exams and an IBT. However, I will have a good time soon. I promise!
