7. Deborah helped
MacMillan Publishing
Deborah was a key consultant for Macmillan’s first
Twitter Chat with the authors of Freakonomics. We
knew we’d have a large audience so we were
appreciative that her advice and guidance got us
through the event and the analytics of the event.
She helped us with the planning and live management
during the event.
She paved the path for our success.
8. Extremely Helpful!
Good day Deborah,
I am not looking for you to give me any answers, I would just like to
refer to an example, because I am confused as to exactly what they are
looking for. :)
Any help you can give me would be very appreciated! As I have already
told you, your webinars have been extremely helpful!
Thanks for everything!

10. Elegantly Communicated
Hi Deborah,
Thank you so much for your efforts on this issue. I
appreciate you relaying the information. I am hoping to

Thanks,
Jimmy

13. You Saved Us!
Dr. Deb,
…I finally got that da*n link to open in SPSS. I had to put it
on the desktop to make it happen, but it worked. I need to
express my most sincere thanks for providing me with
support and guidance. Without you as our savior, we would
all fall by the wayside. I don't know what they are paying
you, but it can't be enough for what you do. Thanks so
much,
Donny
14. A Pleasant
Common Ground Found
Deborah,
Just wanted to say thank you for the quality of the webinars you are providing. I
watch/listen to the recordings and they are extremely helpful. It got me through a rough
patch with installing SPSS, and that was the first couple webinars.
I enjoyed hearing about you and husband’s musical/recording background. Interestingly
enough, I do my warm-ups and drills while listening to your SI. And yes there is a madness
to my method, I can improve my playing AND learn from the webinars simultaneously.
So...yeah. Thanks! Much appreciated
Warmly,
Brian
16. You are the First instructor
to Impact Me like this!
Deborah,
i wanted to give you a big virtual hug and thanks for the great job you did in this
class. I would not have been able to make it through this class without it. Keep
up the good work and best wishes on your educational journey. I did provide
feedback on how well you did with us. You went out of your way to help us. You
have been the first SI Instructor to really make an impact for me.
Thank you and God Bless
Sally
When I wasn’t in SI live i was going over the recording. Thank you soooo
much
18. The fearless SI Instructor
From the Professor:
Our fearless SI Instructor, Deborah Anderson, has posted a
converted version of the DAT file for SPSS in Updates /
Handouts. It's CONVERTED. That means you don't have to
go through the trouble of figuring out how to turn it into a
different file format.
Yes, Deborah Anderson rocks. To be candid, she may be
the best SI I've ever worked with, so let me be clear: Go to
Updates / Handouts right now, get that file, and thank your
supremely lucky stars you ended up in this section because
without Deborah Anderson, things would be pretty messy.
19. The Professor Speaks Pt 2
From the Professor:
Deborah Anderson, the best SI instructor this
side of the Matrix, posted a grades.sav file in
Updates / Handouts.
20. Expressing Gratitude
Also - I will be attending the webinar on Monday,
and just wanted to express my gratitude that we
even have webinars like this available!
Sandy
22. Professor says >>
“Love Your Ideas”
Yes, I think that's a great idea! I also always stress to them that
even if they feel totally comfortable with the information, that
these webinars can be really valuable.
…So if you see it before I do and want to answer, that would be
great. And feel free to post to the Updates and Handouts section.
I used to post a lot in this section.
I look forward to working with you this quarter!

23. Love Your
Sense of Humor!
Deborah,
I took advantage of the snow "week" to catch up. Have to say, I have many of
the same over-achieving tendencies, I love your sense of humor about it! My
Tests and Measurements told me "more is not always better" and I try to
remember that.
I thought I understood Assignment 1 from readings, but have to thank you for
how much work and effort you put into the SIs...unbelievable amounts of helpful
information. Pages of notes and hints. I will plan my schedule accordingly to
listen to all your webinar recordings!
You're amazing!
Diana
24. Your Tips Saved Me Time!
Sonny: I just wanted to thank you for the 'time
challenged' compilation timeline for the unit 6
asgmt. It was a great last minute checklist! I
appreciate what you do!
25. Couldn’t Do It Without You
Bobbie: Deborah, I don't know how anyone could
manage to even open the books without your
webinars. It has been so helpful in terms of
learning the concepts to piece together the
assignments and material.
26. Clearly SI is
Improving Their Grades!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad that you covered
the scoring rubric in SI…I'm glad to see that SI is
working for [those who attend and pay attention.]

Without You!
Hi Deborah
I just submitted my last assignment and I am happy to say

Your webinars really made a difference in helping me get a

So I just wanted to thank you because if it wasn't for your

bump to you again in other courses.
Once again, I can't thank you enough, you are super
awesome! Have a nice break :)

Needed File
Ok I really appreciate all of your help. I was finally

this assignment. Thank you.
37. Professor’s Feedback
Hi!
First, you're doing a fantastic job answering the questions
and then continually referring to resources available in the
courseroom and the webinars. I think you answered [Erin’s]
question well.
You're doing awesome so far.

40. I See the Light at the
End of the Tunnel!
Hi Deborah!
It makes me feel so much better to hear that just
installing the software successfully is half the
battle! I think I was able to answer my own
question. I looked through the resources again
and found the data set instructions.

42. I See the Light at the
End of the Tunnel!

Thank you so much for your help! I know I will be reaching
out probably in the future to you with questions as well as
making sure I attend or at last watch all your webinars!
Thank you again! I am seeing a light at the end of the
tunnel and feel that I will be okay in this class!
Sincerely,

43. Genuine Person…
Hi Deborah,
Obviously, we haven't known each other very long but your
strength appears to be more than just the number of hours
you've been giving away free (I'm sorry about this, by the way
-- I know how that is :-) but also the fact that you work every
bit as smart as you work hard. You are thinking through
solutions and anticipating problems: This is extremely helpful
to everyone in the courseroom.
… continued …
44. … who solves the problems!
… continued …
You are also taking responsibility for finding these solutions -- really solving
the problems -- as opposed merely to vocalizing some fixes robotically. This
not only says a lot about who you are as an intellectual but who you are as
a person. The more I do this, the more I realize just how important it is to
care, to care GENUINELY, for what the learners are trying to do, and for
what we are trying to do for them.
Thank you for being and doing all those things, Deborah. I've meant every
word I've said; you've earned them.

45. Wow – You Covered
Everything I Needed!
Hi Deborah!
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly! Yes I was trying to start my
assignment this weekend but I am happy to know this will be covered on
Monday. I was looking for a sample/mock assignment just to see what is really
being asked of me for this assignment and I'm glad to know that there will be
one in the webinars. I appreciate your time and I probably will be asking more
questions after Monday's webinar.
Thank you again!
Sincerely,
Audrey

51. I Wouldn’t Make It
Without You!
Hi Deborah!
I just finished watching it and was just about to message you that I was
able to access it lol! Thank you for checking up on me! I really
appreciate all the hard work you are putting into the SI class! It has
been so very helpful. I wouldn't be able to do this class successfully if it
wasn't for you (I truly mean that)!
Thank you again!
Sincerely,

53. My Crying Gave Way to
Light Bulb Illumination!
Deborah,
I need to say thank you so very much. I have been
sitting here stressing out something awful over
comprehending the null hypothesis.
After I watched your webinar this evening it began to
click. The first video left me scratching my head and
crying for help.
… continued ...
54. My Crying Gave Way to
Light Bulb Illumination!
… continued ...
But as I got through the next video light bulbs were clicking
on, as I could see from the chat box, this helped everyone
else as well.
I am so thankful to you. I felt at a stalemate and was
becoming even more concern for the rest of the term.
Thank you again,
Tara
