Ambi creates a safe environment for us to explore human diversity and how we fit in. Great videos - makes historical events come to life. Learned a lot about how important ethnic identity is in creating a democratic society. He really wants his students to succeed.
He's very friendly, and his classes are interesting and fun! The exams can be a little hard, but you'll be fine if you read the textbooks and get ready to write about the topics. You'll have to do a 5-min presentation at the end of semester, but it's pretty relaxing and fun.
This class was a lot more work than I thought. 3 Page play reviews due once a week. Although he grades relatively easy (An A is 85-100), the reviews do take a decent amount of time. No midterms.The final is during dead week and it consists of performing a play that he assigns. I put in minimal effort and received an A.
Hands down the MOST CHILL professor ever - heck, he doesn't even want you to call him "professor". You just do group readings of plays and write reviews each week - you're required to watch an on-campus play and write a paper and the final is a play reading again, but he expects more effort (costume, creativity, etc.) Easy class, fun guy! Do take!
This class was incredibly easy. Ambi is a sweet guy, I think he memorized everyone's name and hometown by the first class. However, I didn't learn much. Most of the time was spent reading aloud, or listing to him read our papers aloud. This class is high school level at best which made it unstimulating and boring and hard to want to attend.
Ambi is one of the best profs I have ever had!! Definitely take a class with him. He is entertaining, and really interested in his students doing well!! Awesome guy, and highly recommended!
It's been more than 10 years and the memories of his class are still with me. An amazing experience w/ an extraordinary professor.
he tells you what he expects from you, no surprises. a very interactive class as opposed to reading the text and being quizzed. ambi's thorough and will be more than happy to clarify anything if needed.
Great guy, you have to work hard though. He'll give you a good great when you put in the effort. Very enthusiastic guy, take a class with him, recommended!!
Ambi is an awesome teacher and you definitely do not have to be Asian to take his class. He is very open minded. Sometimes his comments don't make sense but thats about it. Take his class if you want an A.
Ambi rocks man (the best professor on campus)
Awesome class. Ambi is a cool guy and makes the easy, fun, and interesting. Loved nearly everything about it. A must for Asian American Studies majors.
