"She is a team player who proved to be a reliable, hardworking, intelligent, and personably professional, very well respected by both her colleagues and her students. As a teacher she is demanding, yet fair; and consistently enjoyed raving student evaluations. In their own words students said things like Professor Fuller 'helped me recognize my faults as a writer while also praising my strengths,' 'she has the ability to turn the ‘weakest link’ into an ‘A’ student,' and they constantly referred to her 'innovative teaching style,' and her being 'very effective in getting students involved in class.'"
