Mrs. Amber has been by far the best teacher i’ve had and i give her a round of applause for handling our whole class for the entire course by herself and still being able to conform to everyone’s different learning styles so we all succeed. She was the absolute best i actually learned, felt supported, and was very hands on. i was able to absorb and understand what she was teaching each week. I really felt set up for success and felt confident in my skills when it came down to doing my finals. we did have a substitute step in for Mrs. Amber as she had something come up for one class and it was a drag. said teacher made class absolutely dreadful. I DIDNT LEARN class wasn’t engaging at all. it was by far the WORST class out of the whole course.
