I just found out about her passing.I met Carol in a public speaking course in 2011, and I volunteered to help with her course in E-Tudes. However, what seemed as a voluntary position turned into a part-time role as we worked together on other courses as I became her Teacher’s Assistant. Because of the opportunity to work for Carol and on her courses, I became inspired to go into the field of instructional design. I enrolled in a Master’s program, and I continued part-time work with Carol.Then, in my second year at the Master’s program, Carol invited me to work on getting her textbook and workbook published on Amazon Kindle. I co-edited the book with her caretaker, Roger. The book and textbook were completed in 2013. After graduating, I continued to help from time to time on courses and other projects for Carol until early 2017.Carol was very thoughtful, and she loved Sophia, Roger, her caretaker, and the adventure life had to offer. She was very much a fan of the Beatles, too. Her favorite color was purple, and she would tell me about her visits to Oregon in the summer among the Redwoods, or along the beaches of the Bay Area. She was also very spirited and loved to decorate for the holidays, and also loved to chat around a cup of tea and some almonds. Carol also enjoyed her plants and was always up-to-date on Bay Area sports teams, and on what was happening in the Olympics.One time she told me that she used to sing and play an instrument- I think it was guitar.I felt that the field of communications to Carol wasn’t just a job, but a mission to strengthen and sharpen communication skills with all of her students regardless of age or gender. During the time I spent her, she taught a variety of communications courses including multi-cultural communication, public speaking courses (different levels), and even Gender Communication.A quote for Carol in memory: “…We all shine on, like the moon, and stars, and the sun.” – John LennonRest peacefully, Carol.Her books are:Textbook : “How to Communicate Effectively in Groups: 3rd Edition (2013)”: https://www.amazon.com/How-Communicate-Effectively-Groups-2013-ebook/dp/B00GFHJTKY/Workbook : “How to Communicate Effectively in Groups: 3rd Edition (2013)”: https://www.amazon.com/How-Communicate-Effectively-Groups-Workbook-ebook/dp/B00GFI8UOE/
