Reviews of professor Phillip Holcomb

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
knowledgable and replies promptly to emails, but just a bit dry. 3 open note exams (45% each for best scores and 10% for lowest score). provides study guides and key terms for each exam. just cntr-F the textbook during exam and guaranteed 90+ on each one. he also reviews the exam and will give points back if majority of class struggled on smth

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The grades are based off of the 3 tests however, the lowest score only counts for 10%. Holcomb isn't a bad professor but he is a little dry. The material is hard and 50% of the test comes from the book.

I was fine with Dr. Holcomb's teaching style, but I really did not like the grading. He did not offer good study guides because most of the terms that we had to define were not even on the test. This meant that I got low scores on the exams that were worth 80% of my grade. I wouldn't take this class with him again.
