Amy is young, enthusiastic, and loves her work. She is very open and sensitive to the different backgrounds and abilities of her students, but doesn't just give out easy grades. She is thorough and fair and is always willing to help students do the best they can if they are actually willing to make the effort. I thought I was going to get an easy A (like I always did in high school), but she didn't let me coast on my abilities- my first few (very low-weighted) papers got C's! But she is very clear about what needs to be fixed and how to do it. I am now getting a (well-deserved) A, and can honestly say I have learned a lot. Highly recommended!
