I just received 13 emails with final essays from students. Every single one is accompanied with a text like the following (in Spanish):
Dear Professor Clarissa,
attached please find a file with my final essay in the course SPAN XXX-XXX.
Thank you and have a happy Easter!
Sincerely yours,
“Pepita Perez.”
And it only took until the Senior year.
It feels great to have such civilized exchanges with students.
