Beth Christiansen – Dept: neuroscience
“Sarah should be commended for her outstanding job in this college level course. Sarah consistently showed an excellent understanding of difficult concepts such as neural transmission. Similarly, she was able to apply what she learned on the lab dissections to the practicals, a skill that many students find challenging.
Sarah was an excellent communicator with her peers, sharing her opinions on discussions while respecting others..”
Chris Stapel – Dept: Mathematics
” I’m writing to share my experience teaching Sarah Karlekar in a 36-week, online, above-grade-level Honors Algebra 1 course at Northwestern CTD and offer my endorsement of her suitability for rigorous, problem-based mathematics learning experiences.”
” In a course that emphasized novel and nonroutine problem-solving, Sarah grew tremendously in her ability to persevere through challenging tasks. Sarah’s intellectual curiosity was an asset through the course and helped her maintain the intrinsic motivation required to be successful in our largely self-paced course. She prioritized understanding over speed and was attentive to the conceptual underpinnings of the algebra topics we explored together.”
Francesca Gray – Dept: Chemistry
“Sarah impressed me with her ability to be articulate about the concepts and theories involved in Chemistry. Sarah is a talented “young chemist” and she has my highest recommendation as a student.”
“She inquired about one of the unit tests: “I want to check where I possibly went wrong. I know I can’t retake the test . . . I just want to learn.” Sarah utilized such learning experiences to successfully complete all assignments and experiments.”
“I highly recommend Sarah for admission to your school. Her commitment and attention to her work are rare and impressive qualities in a young student.
