Great course for international students
Amy is not expecting students' English to be proficient as Ling 12. Ling 3A is a very easy PNP course, and she requires very little reading. She almost only focuses on grammar, so it is safe to write an illogical essay with none (or few) grammar errors for a pass.
Amy is a very caring, and nice instructor. She gives us feedback for essays in great detail. If you want to take the Ling 3A course, she is definitely a great choice. On the other side though, she is a tough grader and there is always some homework. However, since Ling 3A is a pass/no pass course, get a Pass is EASY.
She is really a poor professor. I bet she did not know what she is doing with her homework. There is no logic between the reading and the writing. And she gives homework without actually teaching you something.
U can really learn a lot! Easy to get A if you pay enough attention. If you talk about your draft in her OH, you will definitely get a high score!
DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS IF U WANT AN A!!!!!!! VERY TOUGH GRADER!!!!!!!!
