Reviews of professor Sara Holland

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
By far my favorite class and professor at OU. Professor Holland is very knowledgable about investments and makes the class fun and engaging. She is pretty funny and awkward which really helps pass time. This is one of the only classes I actually looked forward to. Class is pretty difficult and I would recommend her office hours. cant recommend more

Genuinely amazing professor. Knows her stuff and can explain concepts well. She holds your attention and is so funny. I actually looked forward to going to class. It's difficult content, but she grades fairly/gives partial credit. Do the practice problems for the test. She gives you last year's exam to study which is extremely helpful. She rocks!!!

This is probably the hardest class I have taken at OU. Holland is a great lady, however the class is undeniably hard. She talks about how after the first exam, the class begins to get more interesting. however this is the exact opposite-- the class dives into statistics shortly after for the rest of the semester. Do your GPA a favor, and skip out.

At first, I wasn't sure how this class would go. With no formula sheet and only a financial calculator on tests, the class seemed difficult after the first Exam. However, as the semester progressed Professor Holland's teaching ability became apparent. She is well-versed in Finance and makes it easy to learn with short review sessions every class.

If you want to learn finance, I highly suggest Holland. It's not an easy course but you learn a lot. She doesn't put in grades until the end but her lectures and feedback after tests helps you a lot. Do the suggested questions in the book and study her practice tests and you'll be golden. Learned a lot about how finance works in the real world too.

Worst teacher I have had at OU. She is boring, she wastes the first 15-20 minutes of every class talking about things no one really cares about. She is very knowledgeable, but she doesn't try to make it interesting. She makes it unnecessarily hard. Very condescending and thinks she is better than you. I feel sorry for anyone that has to take her.

Professor Holland is one of the best teachers I've had at OU. The course isn't easy and neither are her tests, but if you study and pay attention in class, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. She knows her stuff and makes the material fun and engages you to make you think. She definitely knows how to teach a class. I would take her class 100x.

TAKE SARA FOR INVESTMENTS!!! Easily the best professor I have had at OU. It's a very difficult class but I learned more in this class than any other but be prepared to work for your grade. If you are struggling, go to her office hours often, she will walk you through the steps and its very helpful.
