Ms. Amy grades hard ! be prepared to read a book for class that you have to write two papers on. I went to the writing lab with all of my papers and was told I had a great paper, turned it in and received C's and a D. She does give feedback on why she choose that grade. At the end of the class you are allowed to redo your lowest grade.
