“Daniel was a conscientious student in my class. He was timely, engaged, and assisted his peers. I enjoyed having Daniel in my class.” 

“Daniel is amazing. I find him to be an upstanding and amazingly moral human being. It's not something that honestly needs to be discovered. I've never had a conversation with Daniel where he didn't seem in earnest. That's just who he is. Two things stick out to me immediately. Daniel didn't start off doing well in my class. It wasn't that he didn't do the work. He did. He was a powerhouse moving through everything he had to do, but something about the questions I asked and what he got out of the reading just didn't click. I gave him advice. He tried it. It didn't work. We did it again. It didn't work. We tried other routes and looked for other ways to keep his grade where he wanted it through class extra credit. I think it was thoroughly disheartening for Daniel, and I will add that a lot of students in this position just aren't doing the work. I assure you that was not the case here. Honestly, it felt demoralizing. I don't like my students to feel that way, but I think it was really hard on Daniel. My point is that 99% of students would have tuned out at that point; he didn't. He stuck in there. He found other ways. He tried. He didn't even lose trust in me (I would have), and we worked through it. The second thing I should mention is that my class can sometimes force the students to confront the evils of the world. Here is where I think Daniel's moral power really came into power. I think, as I'm playing devil's advocate, it's easy for students to lose their moral ground, albeit temporarily. Not Daniel. He stuck to his values, and sort of demonstrated that morality isn't some subjective concept for people. For Daniel, it had a texture and use. It could be counted upon to make him a better person. Daniel is, honestly, one of my favorite students. I wish all of my students had his honesty and his diligence.” 

“Daniel is a passionate and creative professional. He is thoughtful in his approach, thorough in his delivery, and keeps his promises. Daniel is always pushing himself to understand content deeply and has high expectations of himself for the purpose of those around him. Working alongside him is refreshing.” 

“Daniel is intelligent, teachable, humble, open, and conscientious.”
