Amber's enthusiasm for the work, in addition to her wide range of experience, shows in every lesson and module. She's incredibly generous with both her time and knowledge, especially when giving feedback on our editing assignments. —A.K.

Amber's warm, deeply thoughtful, and responsive presence online made me want to get involved. Her discussion forum assignments were created in a way that compelled us to interact with one another. —C.R.C
