Reviews of professor Grant Holder

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Grant is always accessible outside of class. He was set another day aside that weren't office hours to accommodate my availability. He is very knowledgeable, and taking his lab part was actually fun. Lectures were made so that students hear how chemistry is related to our everyday life I think. He made lectures fun. Advice: study the main ideas.

I took him Spring 19 and it was one of the hardest classes I ever took. Although he does not take attendances for lecture, his labs are mandatory. Nevertheless, I highly recommend attending his lectures because his tests are quite confusing. Surprisingly, I passed the class, but I know the same about chemistry as I did on the first day of class.

If you have military experience, then you might be alright with him but he literally runs the class like a drill sergeant. Not an easy guy to get on with, but he is fair with his grading, once you work out how to submit your work correctly. If you have thick skin then go for it, but otherwise I would avoid his class if you can.

He's a good professor. It is a bit confusing how he wants all of his assignments submitted, but it is not difficult to understand. His grading is clear. Just make sure you submit all of your assignments and you'll pass!

This guy is a sarcastic curmudgeon! He's *really* smart, but teaches like everyone is a chem major, with the speed and density of his lectures. Most examples are about wine and other luxuries. His tests are really hard, but he gives you "practice tests" 60 pages long and curves grades. The book is mandatory for actually learning what he's teaching!

If I could drop this class I would. So much work and super picky on how you have to submit your work. Doesn't explain much and I have no idea when anything is supposed to be turned in. I'm just trying to turn in as much as I can at this point honestly.

I wish I would've listened to other reviews. Dr. G strays off topic a lot during lectures. He says he's there to help but will humiliate you when asked a question. If you take this class with him be prepared to teach yourself the entire curriculum. Tests are difficult. Mid sense of humor

This instructor was very disorganized in Canvas and in the lecture. He was all over the place, you're expected to know the material already. He was very rude and used inappropriate terms to refer to students. He wouldn't share any slides until weeks later. He was unapproachable and not helpful. When attempting to ask questions he ignores you.

Homeboy is the most disorganized teacher I ever had. He expects every student to already know the material that he is splatting on the board. He speeds through the power point presentations and does not go over them, he does not give the students a chance to finish taking notes. He side tracks a lot on things unrelated to Chem. Def. do not reccomen
