Ambrose is so helpful in so many ways ! She is awesome if I would resume into more English classes I would definitely take her class again ! She also works with you and very understanding super sweet woman.

She does play an active role in group discussions and gives nice feedback. It definitely dwindles from the start of the semester to its finality. SHE TAKES FOREVER TO GRADE PAPERS. I had some from the beginning of the semester that were just graded over the deadline of final grades. A lot of busy work.

This class has to be one of the worst I have taken at Shasta College. Teacher is not accessible outside of class. Made up excuses on why assignments are graded late and I sent her multiple emails and only to get one response.

I took this class in order because I am becoming an elementary school teacher. Dr. Ambrose takes forever grading an assignment So I had a D for half the semester and makes you feel dumb when you have a question, doesnt have good instructions on assignments. The class met 1 day a week & we had 7 assignments due per week, plus 45 hrs. of observation

DOES NOT RESPOND TO ANY EMAILS. REQUIRES A LOT OF PAPERS. GRADES ARE NOT DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER. DO NOT RECCOMEND.

Took her Mythology class, and it was by far my favorite class taken at Shasta so far. She's passionate about the subject and you learn a lot about the deeper meaning of mythology. Does take a while to grade assignments but when she does it's good feedback. Values hard work and grades reflecting this. 100% would take this course and teacher again.

This was the worst class I have ever taken. Looking at the average scores for my entire class, majority of classmates consistently received 40-50% scores. No grades on assignments until months later so you never knew where you stood in the class. Tough grader, which would be fine if there had been feedback. No response to emails. Poor experience!!!

Would not take this prof again. Expects your assignments to be turned in on time, but we do not get the same treatment with our essays and homework being graded and returned in a timely manner. It takes her on AVERAGE, one month. Sometimes longer. Do yourself a favor and not take her class. It is hard to learn if you can't learn from your mistakes.

There is a lot to do in this class. Discussions, observations, quizzes, and assignments are due each week. Its hard to stay caught up but you are allowed to turn in some things late. The end of the year projects is very time-consuming. I definitely learned a lot about the education field. I recommend this course to anyone that can put in the time.
