Reviews of professor Kelly Holden

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
prof very knowledgeable, but not clear when it comes to assignment instructions which makes them difficult to complete. most homework assignments were mini-group projects and very time consuming. working with spss. exams are difficult but online and open note.

Professor Holden is one of the best professors at Shilder. She keeps the course content easy to understand and fun! She is very knowledgable about marketing and doesn't make the courses harder than they need to be. She is very understanding and kind and her jokes make her classes my favorite every semester.

Nothing in this class felt like it was wasted or felt like busy work, almost everything done was applicable to the final project. She has a lot of practical experience which allows her to give valuable advice to students. The work load is not high and the grading is not tough. Deadlines are very generous. Always willing to help those struggling.

This professor is a solid choice for any Marketing class. The final is a group project that you slowly build up on throughout the semester. She doesn't give a lot of feedback on why points were deducted. Midterms are challenging but if you pay attention in class you will pass. She offers extra-credit opportunities to increase your midterm grades.

First year having Kelly and she rocks, she has practical knowledge and in class she talks about relevant things to relate back to what she's teaching, super chill, great teacher, want her as my mentor for my masters.

Take Sakawrat Kitkuakul (Gift) instead if you can. I've heard how she's great to listen to bc I didn't exactly vibe with Holden's teaching style. Was kind of awkward for me even though she cracks a few dad jokes every now & then, zooms past slides (so make sure to take notes quickly), but not anything else that's too bad. Don't need the textbook.

Kelly is chill and very understanding, she's pretty easy to talk to. However, her criteria aren't very clear and she often goes off on a tangent in class discussions. If you have a student that likes to talk a lot it makes it hard to participate and get your points. Also had something on the final that she did not teach in class. Dry lectures.

Not a terrible professor to take. The workload isn't too bad and the concepts are easy. However, keep in mind that the grading criteria for papers and projects is very vague which can make it hard at times.
