From a former GM student:
Mrs. Mason,
I just wanted to thank you and Ms. Durrill for the things you taught us in research methods. While I hate to admit it, you were right when you said these skills would be important for us in college. As an engineering student I thought I would have no need for an understanding of how to write an argumentative paper, or how to cite sources, yet I am sitting here writing my second one this month. And I have to say that I am thankful I took the course even though I did not do the exhibition; because of this course I can honestly say it has at least made college a little easier. So next time someone wants to drop before the end of first semester because it is too hard or that they do not receive any college credit for it I can assure them what you get from the class is worth more than 4 credit hours.
Best,
Aaron Schneider
