Jake,

I was in your opening session at the NELB conference in Indianapolis on June 12th.

I want you to know how much what you had to say resonated with me!!! I, too, consider myself a student among those in my classes and I firmly believe that we need to get to know them and to be able to “come from where they come from” as we lead the discussions.
Much of what you said, in some form or another, I have been doing in my classes since I began at IWU five or six years ago. My success—my learning and my getting to know and share with some great people—derives from use of those techniques.

Thank you again for being there and for who you are—

Ned C.
Adjunct, IWU

Hi Jake,

I didn’t get a chance to speak with you after your session last Friday at the IWU No Educator Left Behind conference, but I wanted to let you know that I enjoyed your talk and found the information valuable. I liked the success formula you shared, I thought it was as a Brit would say, “spot on”......

Dear Mr. Jake Gamble,

I just wanted to say, “Thank You!” Your class was a wonderful learning experience and  I feel that I have learned a lot from you. I now feel more comfortable speaking in front of others that I do not know. You have given me the confidence to excel in this area of my education. And I fully believe that it is all contributed to your guidance and support that I received from you .
I enjoyed every minute of your class and wanted to let you know that I feel you are an asset to the Excel program at Huntington University.
Once again, “Thank You!”

As Director of Distance Education at Indiana Tech, it is my privilege to recommend to you a member of our teaching faculty, Mr. Emery (Jake) Gamble, and to write this letter on his behalf.

Jake has been teaching courses in our online (Introduction to Psychology) and Independent Study (Organizational Behavior) programs. He is one of our most popular and effective instructors. Reaction to Jake’s performance has been overwhelmingly positive --so much so that more than once Jake shared with me his students’ email messages thanking him for his dedication in teaching and his caring for students’ academic advancement.

Jake is always punctual in following the administrative procedures and communicates in a timely manner. His cooperation with the distance education administration helps us maintain an efficient operation. Additionally, Jake never hesitates to share his ideas and observations with me. After he finished teaching Introduction to Psychology course for the first time, Jake suggested refining the course. We accepted his suggestion and the course content, as well as its delivery, have been improved.

Although I’d like to see Jake devote fully to Indiana Tech’s distance education course teaching, I do respect and support his desire to explore opportunities teaching at other colleges and universities. I am convinced that by expanding his teaching environment, he will gain much broader perspectives and, in turn, will share his experience to help Indiana Tech assess and improve its distance education practice and operation.

I highly recommend Jake to be a teaching faculty at your institution. Your students will greatly benefit from his instruction and interactions.
