"You are the single most responsible person for striking my interest in learning to be "aware" of what was so foreign to me in the past. I just wanted to thank you for everything you've done, and I hope to have the chance to fill a seat in one of your classes in these next few years."
“Professor Mazzei is the most professional and motivating professor I have had.”

"...you are one [of] the people that have helped me realize that I am at school for a reason. ... Your classes are always awesome and always remind me of why I chose the major I did and ultimately why I [am] here in college."
"... ever since that conversation last semester in the economy class about democracy, it's been an issue constantly on my mind. ...[I am] a little suspicious of a term that is so easily thrown around and not as easily defined. ... [A]nyway, [I] assume that the reason you teach this stuff ... is to create a level of critical thinking outside of the classroom, and [I] thought [I’d] let you know that you have done that for me."
