To Whom It May Concern:,
I have known Ann Qualls for approximately fifteen years. She was a student in several of my doctoral seminars and workshops at Ohio University and we have kept in touch in the years since. Ann was then a doctoral candidate in literature, and I was directing the Creative Writing Program at Ohio.
I can say without exaggeration that Ann Qualls is easily in the group of three or four most gifted students I have taught. Her range and insight, and ability to synthesize in a critical prose that is itself a hybrid of essay and more traditional scholarship was never less than first rate and frequently revelatory. Ann discovered new readings, new forms, and frequently led the classes she was in to new ways of thinking about literature and about writing.
Ann Qualls was always utterly responsible, doing twice the work necessary, but on top of this, delightful, bringing a joie de vivre to her studies and class discussions. This was true I gather for her teaching, as well. She was highly rated, a sought after mentor at Ohio among the undergraduates.
I recommend. Ms. Qualls unreservedly and with great enthusiasm. She is a fine mind, an excellent, editor and teacher, and would be an extraordinary colleague.
I would be most happy to answer any other questions about her application.
Sincerely,
David Lazar

To Whom it May Concern:
.Ann Qualls is the most talented and accomplished graduate student teaching associate that I have observed since I came to Ohio University four years ago. Although I was aware of .Ann's reputation in the classroom and knew that she had just won the outstanding graduate teaching award in 1997, nothing prepared me for the overwhelming experience of being in her class, even for a day. I sat in on Ann's class. Critical Approaches to Fiction, a prerequisite for our undergraduate majors, and I watched her lead 27 students in a discussion of Leo Tolstoy's short story, "Master and Man." 1 don't know if I've ever seen a more cohesive and interested group of students In response to .Ann's prompting, a series of very good questions delivered with impeccable timing, the class launched into a sophisticated discussion of character, point of view, imagery and other elements of fiction. They had clearly done this before and they liked it. Ann's enthusiasm for the story was infectious, but even more compelling, I think, was her enthusiasm for her students, for their insights and ideas and confusions. To my count 20 of the 27 students made a comment during the discussion.
.After their initial conversation, the class took up their written assignmeni for the day which was to suggest another texx that provides some interesting connection or approach to Tolstoy's story Before considering the students' responses, Ann briefly presented her own suggestion and talked about Christ’s Sermon on the Mount as a provocative context for "Master and Man." Students freely interrogated Ann's reading and it was clear that they looked at her as both a leader and a member of their community. By providing a model response to the assignment, by modeling herself as student and reader and researcher, Ann set just the right tone for the presentations that followed.
Ann has been enormously active as a graduate student in our department, presenting a number of papers at professional conferences, leaching a variety of classes, performing splendidly in her classes and seminars, and writing her dissertation on Virginia Woolfs non-fiction prose She wi be a wonderful colleague and I give her my highest recommendation.
