[font='Times New Roman']I just wanted to add my sincere appreciation for the opportunity to participate with such a professional, scholarly, friendly, fun-loving group of people. I have learned so much from all of you through the classes and the forums. I have to admit that when I read the requirement of a minimum of 30 posts, I thought of it as drudgery that I had to find time to do on top of all the other reading, essays, lesson plans. Boy was I wrong; reading the forum posts from all of you has been very helpful and informative. I now see the great benefit and the quality resources that I will take away from this US-China Institute[/font]
