Reviews of professor Catherine Holl-Cross

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She has tough tests but she gives extra credit if you do your homework. I'll be honest I did not like her teaching style the first time I had her, but after having her for 3 classes I think she is a wonderful professor. She absolutely cares about the students and truly shows she has passion for what she teaching.

Based heavily on 3 tests+final. Other assignments were 6 quizzes and 3 projects. Quiz and project totals worth 12.50% of the grade each. Lots of hw but it's only 5% of the grade, I think. The first project was coding and she was very unaccommodating for those with little compsci experience. All of the lessons were outside of class in videos

I have taken three classes from Mrs. HC at this point, math 171, 172, and 271. She eases up on grading her harder classes with 271 being the easiest as far as extensions and feedback. She will even let people retake tests if the majority did badly. That being said these are hard classes with a lot of assignments and you do have to work hard.

Great teacher, went in person (optional) and learned a lot from her. She is very good at responding to emails and cares a lot about her students. If you study well you can get a good grade in her class. Final Exam is optional.

Great professor! Responds to emails very quickly and is super helpful if you need anything! Lots of extra credit on tests from getting 100 on Khan assignments or from Kahoots. Watching the video lessons before class will make it much easier. Also, make sure you do the khans and watch the videos, because that helps learning the material a lot too.

For my Calculus One class, I took it as a student in HS and dual-enrolled with her. She gives a lot of prep, has all of her lessons online, and helps students when it comes to home life interfering with schoolwork. She is very open to change and frequently asks students for input.

One change I'd like to see would be how homework is weighed more.
