Commendations
Please note, these are not official commendations; both professional and academic references are available if requested. These Commendations are simply some examples that I have collected of exceptional work on my end and comments from my professors. Some context has been lost over time, and much of the work is no longer available

PHY 314: Quantum Physics I Overall comments
Context: After stuggling at the beginning of the semester to learn quantum physics, I ended the semester with a perfect score on the final.
"I just graded your final exam. I wanted to say that I was very impressed and pleased with your final exam efforts. You have all the tools to have an A in this class. I am expecting a lot more from you next semester starting with reading your textbook. I believe you find this approach far more rewarding compared to studying only for in-class exams."

ECN 470: Mathematical economics Test 1, problem 4.
Kevin Reffett (Professor) comments:
"Excellent. I also think your argument works here very nicely......that argument is one of the (many) issues with not having the "iff" part...so really nice answer...."
Grade on exam: 88/100
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ECN 470: Mathematical economics Test 3, problem 1/4.
Kevin Reffett (Professor) comments:
"Q1. Really good. You are the only student that did this question well. You apply the theorems, and you discuss why they apply. Great work here.
Q4. Great. This is exactly what I wanted done.
With this said, with all my comments on Q2 and Q3, you did a fantastic job on Q1 and Q4. And actually, there were also some nice parts of Q2/Q3. This was a really nice exam."
Grade on exam 97/100

Overall commenats on my performance in mathametical economics by my preofessor Kevin Reffett.
Context: I had requested a change of my final grade from an B+ to an A-.
"Hi Kris,
Thanks for your note. You will actually get an A in the course. An A- was clear, no need to ask. But the A is for many reasons: (a) you have continued improve your work as the course went on, (b) your paper was excellent, (c) your last exam was especially good, and (d) your HWs were good. I agree w/ your assessment of your understanding of this material. Clearly an A...
...Anyway, so I am very happy to give you an A in the class, and actually already had done this before I got your email tonight.
Thanks for the comments on the class. Glad you learned things that were new. You should definitely consider continuing in economics (although physics is obviously a great field also). Thanks for taking the course and for all your hard work. Have a great summer."
