Reviews of professor Grant Holder

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Took him in fall 2021 and he is quite literally the definition of stubborn. Im pretty sure he didnt know what canvas was the whole semester and we had to submit homework through email in a weird format and if you made a small mistake in the format like misplacing a comma in the title, HE WOULDNT ACCEPT IT. He also gets mad if you ask questions!

Took CHEM 015 with him and it was a mistake. For a fundamentals class, he assumes you know the material already and speeds through concepts in lecture. He uses broken software to collect HW. It sifts through your emailed HW and arbitrarily decides if it gets graded or not. I was missing 7 weeks of work (that I turned in) by finals. Not worth it.

This professor would make things so complicated for the students. The way that he wanted us to turn in assignments was confusing. Personally, I would not recommend taking him.

Don't get me wrong he's quite amusing and has great stories relating (or not relating) to chemistry but his instructions are quite confusing. No homework but he only grades you for midterms (3 in total), final exams, and labs. I suggest praying before starting your exams.

Oh where to start off, he is a very messy online teacher he is not organized at all. I just finished his class he hasn't inputted the grades, since we submit all our assignments via email, he failed to grade my HW. I told him about it & he told me to "Let it go." not grading my hw. Jeopardizing my grade.

He tries to help his students and gave a study guide for this test but if we don't understand the lectures we won't pass the test. For lab he gives the instructions and that set, we can ask if we don't understand he will help us but most of time you are on you on.

I took professor Holder for Fall '18 and it was one of the hardest classes I have taken. You don't get much guidence in the class, does not follow the syllabus or book and speaks to you as if you know all the concpets of chemistry aldready. Can be hard to approach depending on the day. I had to drop the class because I felt lost the whole semseter.

If this is your first experience with chemistry you will definitely need to seek outside help as this professor expects you to know the basics before the start of the class. he does not give detailed lectures and is very unorganized. On top of this he does not like being asked questions during labs and very strict protocols for turning in work.

His CHEM22 was a boot camp for CHEM 1A/1B.
Once you get through this class, CHEM 1A will be so easy to pick up!

Grant leaves the door wide open for students to reach out. If you need a grade check, text him. If you need help on how to do things, text him. He is good with faces. If you show up and try in the labs, you'll pass with a B for sure.
