Reviews of professor Valerie Ambrose

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Ambrose is a pretty nice teacher. She seems friendly and she's got a sense of humor which is nice. She gives a ton of assignments but most are small. The bad part is her not grading on time. But She lets you redo your old tests if they weren't the grade you want and you get to use notes!

Worst experience at Shasta College I have ever had. Expects you to turn in everything on time despite taking 45 days to grade an essay, and submitting final grades beyond the institutional deadline. We read a book for one discussion that was never brought up again. Said my paper followed the guidelines then proceeded to deduct 10/50 points anyway.

Just for some context there is absolutely no lectures, a LOT of reading, a discussion, a writing assignment, a quiz every week, and a final essay at the end. I will give that she was a fairly light grader for my work at least. Don't expect good communication from her. She didn't grade anything until last week of semester, nor email replies.

There is a lot of reading and writing, You have to work hard for a good grade, but after taking the class my reading and writing was a lot better.

Dr. Ambrose is very patient and won't judge you for asking "stupid questions". She was clear about what she wanted from essays/assignments and sometimes gave us a few extra days to finish an essay if a lot of the class hadn't finished. After the lecture she sometimes walks around to answer questions or brainstorm with students for their essays.

She is extremely kind and very willing to help you if you're struggling. She always believed in everyone in the class and she made a positive difference in my life.
