I would just like to say that I am very happy that I decided to take this course this semester. I have to agree with many others when I say I initially thought this course was geared more towards history. I must also agree with my classmates because I was pleasantly surprised when I began reading and analyzing the readings. The readings in general were extremely interesting. Each reading highlighted the emphasis of one's place with being too difficult to comprehend.
The course was interesting and taught me so much. I am certain that the analytical skills have improved. I know this because I have already found myself doing a "close reading" in some of my other classes and that skill has helped improve my grade for those same classes. I honestly feel that this class also helped me express my personal thoughts better. I now feel more comfortable participating in class as well as expressing myself in my writing. For this I would like to thank Professor Ambrose. I also felt comfortable walking into class. Even if I was ever confused by the material, I knew the discussion would clarify the readings and I would not have to feel embarrassed about my lack of understanding. Additionally, I went several times during office hours and each time I went I left feeling more confident about myself and more certain about the topic at hand.
So thank you professor! Thank you for all your dedication and understanding throughout the semester.

Great to hear that you're using "close reading" in other classes. To be honest, you'll find you use it everywhere. I can't watch a TV commercial without analyzing it! Thanks for your kind words!
