Reviews of professor Holly Benton

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
So glad I dropped this class. Made what should be an easy GenEd an over the top class requiring several hours of reading and watching boring lectures that could be summed up with few slides. (Never releases powerpoints.) AVOID.

This is a Gen Ed class. She assigns an excessive amount of homework and is late on her grading and release of her materials. She is a harsh grader and her feedback is poor. Do not take this class with her it is a waste of time. I have never been so disappointed in a teacher. Expects us to give her grace but does nothing in return. Unprofessional.

I just want to start by saying Im a Senior in college and Ive always been a 3.7-4.0 student. DROP HER BEFORE YOU START. Her questions seem clear, but youll still lose points because you didnt read between the lines and answer questions that arent even there. Shes way too picky and harsh for a class half of us are only taking for a credit.

The WORST professor I have ever encountered at NCSU. She provides little to no feedback on what you do wrong and gives 3-4 days to complete assignments that would normally take at least up to a week to complete. She has incredibly high expectations for a course that is for GEP credit and was not prepared to teach an online course TAKE WITH CAUTION!

Overly nit-picky and gives endless, time-consuming assignments and no meaningful feedback-- just low grades for the effort you will put in. Reviews here are spot-on-- the anger she generates is real. A teacher simply can't ask so much of her students and give so little in return.

This professor makes you write like 2 papers per week that each require a lot of reading to do and be done well. Even if you spend a lot of time reading/writing it's possible that you'll get a horrible grade with little to no real feedback even if you ask for it. She's disorganized and even her multiple choice quizzes are impossible; not worth GEP.

Shouldn't be allowed to instruct a course. Horrible feedback and grading criteria. Cannot wait until Class Evals.

Holly is a huge procrastinator when it comes to grading. I had no idea how i was doing in the class going into the final, and she is late doing final semester grades by almost a month. She gives bad critiques when grading and cant explain them when you ask her to. the class consists of just readings and class discussion, w/out her teaching new info

Would not take this class. There is a reading quiz for each chapter in the very beginning of class, each class is a group project rather than a lecture for new material. If you don't answer a question how she wants you to, it is automatically incorrect. I took this class for a GEP credit and ended up dropping it mid-semester.
