How are you?
I hope you are fine.
I really want to thank you for the best class in the semester I really like your ways of teaching and how you encourage us to improve ourselves.
I am sending this message to share my feelings with you.
I feel like my father teaching me this course.
I appreciate your efforts and no one can say that you weren't good this semester.
I believe that you are the best instructor for EE 202 this semester.
I hope you all the best in your life.
I'm sorry for this long massage.
Thank you again.
