“The course I took with Dr. Amado-McCoy (Sociolinguistics) exerted a profound influence on my thinking. Her teaching was both rigorous enough to stimulate creative engagement with the course materials, yet relaxed enough to foster an environment conducive to the free exchange of ideas. I try to emulate her manner and method in my own classes, and in my own life for that matter. I cannot thank her enough, and I could not recommend her more highly.”
