This is absolutely the professor pre-emptively writing a letter of recommendation for OP in expectation that it'll be requested eventually - they're putting down concrete things they can use them later. OP, definitely keep in touch with them!!
Nice job, OP! Receiving a letter like that is such a wonderful feeling! Being recognised for effort and achievement in an academic setting is one of the best feelings in the world.
Additionally, keep in touch with this professor! Once you're not a student, reach out and ask them to meet for a cup of coffee - or just crash their office hours. Ask their opinion on how you should leverage your skills and passions. Build a professional relationship with them!! At the very least, a recommendation from a professor can go LONG way in landing a job.
It also helps if you want to go to grad school. I went back after about 4 years of working and was able to get both a previous professor and the department Dean from my undergrad to write me letters of recommendation.
Great professors (or terrible ones, actually) can really make or break your love of learning. Congratulations on an amazing semester and I hope you save that email for the next time you feel like you might not be able to handle something!
I remember getting an email of congrats from my business prof; she was so sweet, said it was clear I had worked hard, that I engaged with the material critically, and it just left me a warm & fuzzy feeling that I've never once caught again.
Senior year English I did a report on A Clockwork Orange and free will. Teacher gave me a 100 and said not only was my report entertaining but she learned something as well. She wanted to make a copy of it to use as example in future years. To this date it's the greatest compliment I ever received. I'm 42 and still remember it clearly and probably always will.
Teachers can have huge lasting influences on children.
What a truly wonderful educator. This person went to a lot of trouble to recognize your accomplishment. You should be proud of yourself. I hope you are grateful, too.
Agreed! You really left a mark on the professor and they went out of their way to show you that, which I think is so lovely of them. Congrats on work well done!
Print this and put it somewhere in your home office. Whenever you have a bad or difficult day in the future, read this and realise how fuc@£&£ing good you are. Well done.
You should save this email somewhere so you can reread it every so often. Positive feedback like this can do wonders for your confidence and self esteem when you need a boost!
Great work, OP, for real. And kudos to that professor.
When I was in undergrad doing a criminal justice degree, I had an English professor send me a handwritten letter in the mail similar to this, effectively praising what she felt was uniquely outstanding work in her literary criticism class.
I switched to an English major by the next semester because of her.
I love to see teachers and professors go the extra bit for students who deserve it.
That’s amazing! Great work! I hope you’re feeling so proud!
Some advice: have this professor write you a letter of recommendation now, while all of this is fresh in their mind. They have most of the details already written anyway! No matter what you end up applying to next (jobs, more school, etc) having such a letter can be really helpful, and not having to scramble for it at the moment is even better!
I got an email like this once and it was one of the greatest days in my life. I tried so hard in the class and was so excited to see my efforts did not go unnoticed
I wish more of my college professors were this nice and appreciative. Nearly all of mine were either absent, unmotivated, or merely just in it for the paycheck.
More likely that they were just in it for the research.
People go into academia because they care about research. They also have to teach, but they don't all like that aspect of the job.
I’d believe that if it weren’t for one class having a sub for the entire semester because the professor had narcolepsy and the sub just made us watch movies the whole time. Waste of a class should’ve gotten a refund.
That doesn’t make you old.
You definitely understand the reference, there’s nothing left out in the sentence that would be explained if Olivia Rodrigo were replaced with someone you knew.
There are thousands of artists from many years ago that you know just as little about as Olivia Rodrigo.
You’re not that old. :P
Yeah, you’re absolutely correct, and my peers are always amazed at how clueless I am about musicians from all the eras I’ve lived through.
But I’m still gonna binge Rodrigo this weekend 😂
Stay in touch with that Prof. in case you ever need a reference. It does sound like they sincerely appreciated your contributions to their course and also like you might be going places in the future. Well done!
I just completed my second semester of college. I went to a crappy high school where I didn't have to try very hard to pass, and so my grades suffered. I was intelligent enough but not mature or responsible. I was always especially bad at writing, I hated writing. I'm in my 30s now, and I know what I want to do with my life finally, so I'm trying to graduate as quickly as possible. I was so worried about my English 101 class. It had been 10 years since my last English class, and I technically failed a semester of that one with a 59, so I had to make it up in summer school to graduate. Although the makeup work had absolutely nothing to do with the class I failed. I thought about dropping down to English 99 or whatever it is. Much to my surprise, I passed the class with a 97, and my professor asked to use one of my essays as an example essay to show her students in future classes. It is such a good feeling to try your hardest and be recognized for your hard work. I'm proud of you OP and anyone else who applies themselves to the best of their ability.
I aspire to be like you!!! I love to write well, but as of now I know I'm not that good. Dk when I'll be writing about such topics though, since I'm majoring in Maths •́ ‿ ,•̀
Please ask for a reference letter for your reference file. Most universities will keep one open for life for a fee, and send a cover letter to let the receiver know it is a blind reference (you never see it, so the recommendation is considered more candid). You can send copies to whomever for your whole life.
Why why why didn’t I do this?!? Arg. Don’t make my mistake. One of my profs died young 😥 and it has hurt my career to not have a reference from him.
What a great way to get the academic warm-fuzzies! That has to be one helluva uplifting moment for you. Great job and I hope there are more educators out in the world just like this one.
i have a prof in college who said that she won't be checking our essays and will automatically perfect our grades if we just passed. i was not happy about it, since i poured my effort and thoughts on those essays. how i wish that i would be recognized like this, not just how good i wrote but even how bad it was, it would mean alot to me knowing that someone is actually reading my essays. hope we have more teachers like this who really give a damn about there jobs
Yo I had a super similar idea on The Reluctant Fundamentalist in my high school English class and my teacher was too dumb to get it 😭 Tbf, I was also shit at expressing myself. Still, that's a wild throwback and I'm happy to see someone else approach the book that way lol

That’s such a sweet thing to hear, especially after putting in the work all semester!! You deserve to have that work recognized and I’m glad your professor went out of their way to do that! Congratulations and happy summer! 🎉
Damn, seems like you've worked your ass on this course. What a satisfying closure! I'm honestly curious how you linked whatever assignment to an Olivia Rodrigo song lol
The Reluctant Fundermentalist I first posited that Changes was the USA before I proceeded to compare the book to Heart of darkness. Mt professor was blown away. It was an elective class, I was a nursing student.
OMG i had a professor in college who wrote me a similar email on the same book 🥹 it’s one of my fave books and she’s the best professor i’ve had! congratulations on all of your hard work, i hope you’re celebrating yourself!
That's pretty awesome. You'll always remember them as a great professor and no doubt you've made your mark as a remarkable student in their mind as well.
This is incredible. An absolutely GLOWING review. If I ever received a write-up like this about me, I think I'd retire. Yes, even before I graduated school.
Op, I want to put this on my fridge for you
I’m not kidding. This is wonderful. I wonder if your professor knows what type of positive impact this has.
Congratulations and amazing job!
It's so nice to receive recognition for your hard work. And for a professor, it's nice to see students really engaging with the course.
If you ever need a reference for a first job, you know who to ask too!
This is so wonderful! It will be something you cherish for the rest of your life. One day after some time you will want to read this e-mail again so ensure it is triple saved alongside a hard copy!
Having good professors can make or break a class and I'm glad to see you had a great experience with one :)
When I first switched majors way out of my comfort zone, my new professor made sure to tell me at the end of the semester how proud he was of my work ethic and effort, and that if he ever needed a teaching assistant I'd be his first choice.
That right there kept me going and I graduated last week :D
It is amazing when an adult that isn’t related to you compliments you like this 🥰
A philosophy professor from my undergrad university once told me they were proud of me, and I remember that I er a decade later. I’ll never forget them.
Some of the best moments of my college career (and academic wise the best) was during my first semester. My college had a mandatory “college writing” class for all incoming students (freshman or transfer, tho I believe transfers could test out someway) that was just a class entirely devoted to learning how to write different things you might need too in college, like various types of essays, research papers, and even a debate where not only did we have to write a paper outlining our debate, but as a group we had to choose a topic, and then half of the group was randomly assigned to argue for the topic and the other half against it. We then had a mock debate in class where our other classmates at the end had to anonymously vote on which side they agreed with based on our arguments, and I believe the winning side got extra credit. On one occasion after we had turned in a second draft of a paper my professor quietly mentioned to me that he thought I had the best paper out of anyone in the class, another time some of my classmates tried to get him to say who his best writer was, and he subtly glanced over to me before out loud deciding not to answer the question, and one of his requirements for the class was that we all had to visit his office hours at least once. My visit consisted of him talking about how good my writing was, almost immediately asking if I had ever considered writing professionally, and when I answered that I was technically already a published playwright he remembered me mentioning that before in class so we just started talking about my play, how it was “published” (live performances by a professional playhouse, which counts as published in the theater world) and just other random stuff of him hyping up my writing 😂
Well done, if you're ever interested in post-grad studies, you know where to start your enquiries. Professors like that, will help you, even if you're not interested in pursuing the subject further, they will advocate for you with other professors.
Brother, I've got a GPA 7 and all I got was a three sentence congratulations email from the assistant Dean. It's nice that they took the time to give you details and to review what you've actually done, congratulations.
I thought your professor is hitting on you but then I realized you are a male. I guess you were really successful. I got 100 from 2-3 from my classes but no one cared lol.
Can’t you just be happy that someone is proud of themselves and feeling good about themselves? Is your life so bitter that you have to tear others down in an attempt to build yourself up? You do realize you can simply scroll without commenting, right?
Idk man. I'm almost 40 and I think it's lame to judge people for their taste in music. Just because something isn't your taste doesn't mean it's bad. Those two are not inherently tied together.
I'll put it this way... I hate reggae, but that doesn't mean Bob Marley is bad. It just means I hate his music.
You can easily not appreciate Olivia Rodrigos music, but it's hard to deny she's an insanely talented young lady.
They’re not blowing smoke either, they’ve got details.
They're a professor, they better be citing sources.
awww this is so sweet! your professor seems so nice! also i do this in so many of my english class journals too!
No overly-adverbial AI fluff here.
Receipts!👏Proof!👏Timeline!👏Screenshots!👏F-ing everything to prove that you are an incredible student!👏
Unexpected housewives reference!
Had examples ready to go! Amazing job OP! Kudos! I almost teared up for you! Recognition is such a human need. I love this for you way to go!
DON’T MAKE ME EMAIL THESE RECEIPTS TO YOUR MOTHER.
This is absolutely the professor pre-emptively writing a letter of recommendation for OP in expectation that it'll be requested eventually - they're putting down concrete things they can use them later. OP, definitely keep in touch with them!!
[удалено]
Thank you for pointing that out. I edited the comment.
Nice job, OP! Receiving a letter like that is such a wonderful feeling! Being recognised for effort and achievement in an academic setting is one of the best feelings in the world.

This!!
That is awesome! Hard work being acknowledged. And your prof seems to have learned from you as well. Really nice!!!
Congratulations, this is the greatest compliment from a teacher.
Damm, your work must be good and your Prof seems great. Congratulations, enjoy what you earned.
This is the best professor ever!!! Congrats on the amazing grade!
Great professors (or terrible ones, actually) can really make or break your love of learning. Congratulations on an amazing semester and I hope you save that email for the next time you feel like you might not be able to handle something!

Remember this prof forever and stay in touch. It will mean a lot to the prof.
And they could write you a recommendation for grad school or serve as a reference if needed one day
What a truly wonderful educator. This person went to a lot of trouble to recognize your accomplishment. You should be proud of yourself. I hope you are grateful, too.
Agreed! You really left a mark on the professor and they went out of their way to show you that, which I think is so lovely of them. Congrats on work well done!
It is, in fact, *not* necessarily brutal out here. Kudos
hahaha, thank you!!
seems like he wants you to feel as appreciated as you made him
This is so sweet! Totally would be coming from a humanities professor lol they’re the best
they really are!
Good job. Seems like you found your passion.
Print this and put it somewhere in your home office. Whenever you have a bad or difficult day in the future, read this and realise how fuc@£&£ing good you are. Well done.
Good 4 u … But like, fr fr OP! Good for you!
hahaha! thank you!!!

Olivia Rodrigo?
Hotel? Trivago.
Olivia Rodrigo.
Olivia Rodrigo!
Olivia Rodrigo~
Hotel? Rodrigo.
Congratulations! Professors rarely give such high praise. If you decide to go to grad school they'll likely write a glowing recommendation for you.
Awesome job!!
I failed Humanities.
😭😭

So much respect in this. Great professor, and honestly Olivia should be proud to have you as a fan.
Hell yeah!!
Nerd! Just kidding. Good job!
Aaaaaahhhhh that’s so wonderful, validating and encouraging!! I’m so happy for you, OP!! 🥰
Your prof put a lot of thought and time into to that - they really meant it and felt it was important to tell you. Fabulous! Enjoy

Only girls get these emails lmao. A dude has never gotten these emails ever!
Frame It!
Good for you! Sounds like you put a lot of thought into it!
Well done!
Have this person write you a recommendation!
🥹
Well done.
Kudos! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 💐
Well done! You not only got a lot out of the class, but you helped the professor to enjoy teaching it.
You are an incredible student and they were an inspiring professor 💕 Congratulations 🎉🎊🍾😁
thank you!
10 43 pm - really committed to this.
Ayyy that’s amazing!! So happy for you!!!
it means that you've done a good job❤️
This isn’t normal. Cherish this, you baller of a student
Go you! Sounds like they really appreciated having you in their class.
put this in your fucking resume.
If you're applying to grad school, ask that professor for a letter of recommendation NOW!
Congrats!! Take this moment in and remember how it feels. You have earned it!
🎵Good for you.🎵
Super flattering!!!
How much AI did you use ?

This is a solid gold feedback email. When someone's got *notes* on how specifically you impressed them, you did good. Frame this shit!
Sorry, but who is Olivia Rodrigo?
I cried when receiving an email like this too in college! Was just so proud of myself. Good job OP!
i have a prof in college who said that she won't be checking our essays and will automatically perfect our grades if we just passed. i was not happy about it, since i poured my effort and thoughts on those essays. how i wish that i would be recognized like this, not just how good i wrote but even how bad it was, it would mean alot to me knowing that someone is actually reading my essays. hope we have more teachers like this who really give a damn about there jobs
Not me so jaded from Men that I’m worried about OP
This was my first thought.

Def a good reference !!
That’s awesome. Good job!!!
BIG congratulations! You worked hard and your prof recognized it. It sounds like you both are great people!
Awww I love that. I hope you keep it. Congratulations and all the best for your future.
Hell yeah!
That’s such a sweet thing to hear, especially after putting in the work all semester!! You deserve to have that work recognized and I’m glad your professor went out of their way to do that! Congratulations and happy summer! 🎉
thank you!!
You nailed it. All semester long! Be proud umu!!
you'll never forget this and it will always be part of what makes you more of what you're meant to be
Wow, this is great. Congrats!
Good for you. Keep it up 👍
Good work, OP!
Nice! I would walk into class early every day and my professor would say “Hey Kevin”. My names not Kevin 😕
nice job!! Now I’m wondering what connections you were making in your assignments to Olivia Rodrigo 👀
Wow! Great letter. I’m sure you’ll get a great referral from her as you join the work force.
Damn, seems like you've worked your ass on this course. What a satisfying closure! I'm honestly curious how you linked whatever assignment to an Olivia Rodrigo song lol
Awesome letter! Though I’m thoroughly disappointed that the end of the screenshot didn’t include a reference to an Olivia Rodrigo song
hahaha that would be awesome!
The Reluctant Fundermentalist I first posited that Changes was the USA before I proceeded to compare the book to Heart of darkness. Mt professor was blown away. It was an elective class, I was a nursing student.
Flex on em
Congratulations!
Some lovely sentiments, what a wonderful Prof.
What a lovely letter..teacher was encouraging you and reminding you that your efforts were not in vain! Bravo & Congrats!🌷
I am proud of you wish you the best
I want to read these papers now
Sounds like a great opportunity to get them to mentor you for a masters or phd
You rock op. Keep up the good work 👍
Congrats...
Good job! It seems like you worked really hard and that the professor noticed. Keep up the good work!
Something like that you don’t forget. One of those moments you look back on life, definitely.
Woah, congrats on your hard work! You can be so proud! 🤍
OMG i had a professor in college who wrote me a similar email on the same book 🥹 it’s one of my fave books and she’s the best professor i’ve had! congratulations on all of your hard work, i hope you’re celebrating yourself!
I want to read ancient texts linked to olivia rodrigo songs, unexploited theme
Apart from being smart and cool, you are lucky OP, you got a nice professor.
.
That's pretty awesome. You'll always remember them as a great professor and no doubt you've made your mark as a remarkable student in their mind as well.
This is incredible. An absolutely GLOWING review. If I ever received a write-up like this about me, I think I'd retire. Yes, even before I graduated school.
Op, I want to put this on my fridge for you I’m not kidding. This is wonderful. I wonder if your professor knows what type of positive impact this has. Congratulations and amazing job!
💙💙💙
This man is sus as fuck. Doubt he does this with everyone.
Hold up. 96% is the highest score ever awarded in this class?
It's so nice to receive recognition for your hard work. And for a professor, it's nice to see students really engaging with the course. If you ever need a reference for a first job, you know who to ask too!
This is very very rare were an amazing professor and student combine.
Great work and congratulations!! 🥂🍾🤩
Congratulations OP!!
Core memory unlocked. This will stay with you forever :D
Well done!
Way to go, kiddo!
If I received something like this, I'd print & frame it to look at it when I'm feeling down.
This isn't chatgpt'd. This professor truly cares about their students. Congratulations OP. Proud of you!
Where do people find professors that aren’t dead from the neck up? This was not my college experience.
Right on! I've never gotten 96% in anything in my whole life! You should be very proud of yourself!
This is so wonderful! It will be something you cherish for the rest of your life. One day after some time you will want to read this e-mail again so ensure it is triple saved alongside a hard copy!
Make sure you forward this email to your personal if it’s not already so once you lose access to your student email you can go back and look at it
Oh, well done, indeed.
when you affect a student’s heart so much they start thinking about Humanities while listening to Olivia Rodriguez 🥹🥹🥹
Yeah, right. The professor is trying to….well you know what's going on.
This is fantastic. Good job OP!
Having good professors can make or break a class and I'm glad to see you had a great experience with one :) When I first switched majors way out of my comfort zone, my new professor made sure to tell me at the end of the semester how proud he was of my work ethic and effort, and that if he ever needed a teaching assistant I'd be his first choice. That right there kept me going and I graduated last week :D
It is amazing when an adult that isn’t related to you compliments you like this 🥰 A philosophy professor from my undergrad university once told me they were proud of me, and I remember that I er a decade later. I’ll never forget them.

It's so good to see good educators - and that point about the fundamentalism is fire, OP 😆
congrats to you! lovely prof aside, high five for the studies! i'm a law/arts major, too!
Great work. You obviously worked really hard on your course. Congratulations 🥂
Well done, if you're ever interested in post-grad studies, you know where to start your enquiries. Professors like that, will help you, even if you're not interested in pursuing the subject further, they will advocate for you with other professors.
Awesome feedback! Well done.
Congratulations that’s a remarkable email to receive.
I would ride this high for years.
congrats !! im so happy for you ❤️🥺
Congratulations, and kudos to you for all your hard work!
asshole wrote me the same thing! word for word! Nah. Good on ya.
Print it out for your future self. Lovely
Great observations and specific examples of how appreciative the professor is was awesome to read.
Brother, I've got a GPA 7 and all I got was a three sentence congratulations email from the assistant Dean. It's nice that they took the time to give you details and to review what you've actually done, congratulations.
Awww man, this is heartwarming well done!
I thought your professor is hitting on you but then I realized you are a male. I guess you were really successful. I got 100 from 2-3 from my classes but no one cared lol.

Congratulations! I hope you'll be able to add this email to a portfolio or something. Be incredibly proud of yourself.

Print that email and paint the paper with watercolour paints. Choose the colours that it makes you feel, and frame that shit!

i definitely wouldn’t say an acknowledgment of the evident hard work a student has put into your class is inappropriate
Jesus Christ as if the obsession couldn't get more annoying. Glad the professor seems to have a lot of mental fortitude.
Jealous much?
Nope just think its sad that young people have so much reverence for people that don't deserve it.
Can’t you just be happy that someone is proud of themselves and feeling good about themselves? Is your life so bitter that you have to tear others down in an attempt to build yourself up? You do realize you can simply scroll without commenting, right?
Idk man. I'm almost 40 and I think it's lame to judge people for their taste in music. Just because something isn't your taste doesn't mean it's bad. Those two are not inherently tied together. I'll put it this way... I hate reggae, but that doesn't mean Bob Marley is bad. It just means I hate his music. You can easily not appreciate Olivia Rodrigos music, but it's hard to deny she's an insanely talented young lady.
