Mrs. Doll,

Your sense of humor brightens up the class. Little jokes ranging from the blue footed booby’s mating ritual to air conditioning resembling cristae help lift the weight of a heavy workload. Yet, so much is still learned in the process. This is the ultimate combination between work and fun, and you’ve accomplished that.

 

To: Mrs. Doll

You’re a friend to the environment—recycling,

turning off lights not in use, hating smokers, etc.

It’s not wonder you’re the plant lady. You are

preserving the world we live in; now that’s smart.

It’s ok to have OCD. In fact, being organized and systematic promotes efficiency and gives a professional impression. I would have sorted out the colors for you beforehand, but then sanitation would come to question.

Mrs. Doll,

Although teachers do not know everything, you know a good deal. If a problem comes up about biology, you practically always know the answer. In your class, I learned so much—and I mean really learn, because the knowledge is not forgotten right after the test. Out of my other subjects, I feel the most prepared for college in biology.

Mrs. Doll,

I am so glad I took AP Biology last year. There was a time when I did think I should have taken Honors Biology 2, but soon that changed. If I could go back in time, I would not change the experiences in AP Biology. Thank you for such a great (it feels as though “great” is an understatement) year. Also, thank you for writing so many recommendation letters for me. You were always the first of my teachers to finish the letters. That not only completed my applications faster, but also reminded me of the busy, bustling schedule of my junior year. Despite all the work, I somehow still loved your class. Your students this year probably feel the same way. I know that some of your AP Biology students this year wanted to choose you for teacher appreciation week. It was an honor to do the teacher appreciation week for you (not going to lie, I was pretty excited…).

Sincerely,

Cynthia Chen
