Language / Thank you note/letter to a professor in Polish [14]

Dear all,

I am a university student studying Linguistics and am currently taking a class taught by a Polish professor. This is the second time I have taken her class, and am very grateful for all the help she has given me. So, I decided to write her a note in Polish to express my gratitude. The problem is, however, I have never studied Polish. Using parallel texts and Google Translate, this is the best I could come up with. I would really appreciate it if someone could check it for me. I don't need it to be perfect or sound like native Polish; I just want to make sure that it is grammatically sound (e.g. the cases are correct) and that I don't accidentally refer to the professor as a male. Here is what I came up with:

Szanowny Pani Professor,

Dziękuję bardzo za wszystko, którą pomogłeś mi w tym kwartale, a także FLAS list rekomendacyjny. Dzięki tobie, teraz wiem o zakresie językoznawstwa, które nie są nauczane w dziale językoznawstwa. Jestem wdzięczny za rozmowy, które mieliśmy po klasie. Cieszę się, że wziąłem twoją klasę. Będę nadal pracować nad moim Non-Universal NSM projektem, i mam nadzieję, do pracy z tobą znowu!

Z wyrazami szacunku,
18782

Also, is "Szanowny Pani Professor" okay, or should I include her last name (Dziwirek)?

Thank you so very much!

Thank you for your replies.

Just to clear up any misunderstandings, I just want to say thank you to a great teacher in a way that is not overly cliché. I think different people have different ways of expressing their gratitude, and this is mine. I just want to show that I actually put in some effort into this. Also, as a personal reason, I'm a Linguistics nerd so I like to challenge myself to write in different languages to see hoe close I can get. Therefore, while I appreciate your alternative suggestions, I am quite set on finishing this.
