She's so knowledgeable & kind if you have questions or comments. Class is great because it's very low-stress. I love that Amy brings in local deaf/HH people for interviews.",

Brings in guest speakers and tries to make lectures interesting yet beneficial. Currently have a 105% in the class thanks to extra credit. As someone who's taking math, o-chem, and bio this class is saving my sanity",

I got a 105% in the class due to extra credit and only went to lecture maybe once every other week because I work night shift. Amy is an incredibly kind soul who is super passionate about activism in the d/Deaf community. She makes the class easy to get an A. ",

Sign time is a great way to get extra practice if you want but unnecessary to get a good grade in the class. Exams online and in person.",

Spent a lot of time complaining about having to teach the class, talked to a group of people that she was not a part of, and will call you out if you don't know the answer to something. She demands respect but never has earned it",
