Congratulation!!

Dear Students,

I would like to thank you for your hard work throughout the semester. I would like, also, to inform you that your enthusiasm and determination in supporting critical thinking, collaborative, and cooperative approaches in our on-line and face-to-face sessions and classrooms are main reasons behind our success.

I hope that all the experiences you practiced and learned during the semester, will be useful to you, during your current college lives and future careers. I wish you the best of luck!

Your English Instructor: Buthaina Al Othman
