Reviews of professor Claire Holderman

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
It was entirely off the Spanish VHL website. As long as you completed the VHL work, you were fine as they are graded for completion. The tests are also on VHL and you could keep revising your test until you gave up or got a 100. There was no lecture, either. The only downside is that it took about 7 hours a week to complete the VHL work.

Professor Holderman is very well spoken, and covers the most important parts of the Spanish language. She will ensure that you grasp a subject before moving on, and will continuously use these new skills throughout the class in order to improve your understanding.

Great professor! She cares about your understanding and doesn't judge you if you mess up. We had zoom meetings every week, and we just spoke in Spanish. Our homework was Duolingo modules and a research assignment. We had the opportunity to speak to 3 native speakers individually, which helped to take away speaking anxiety. I will take her again!

Awesome professor, she is very clear upfront about what it takes to pass and get an A in the class. This is within reach for all so long as most assignments are done on time, as many assignments have given points for participating. You can tell she cares about her students and wants them to succeed. Highly recommend her class.

Professor Holderman definitely cares about her students. The vocab and Spanish journal can be fun to write, but in my opinion, the Supersites are a waste of time. As long as you pay attention and study you'll do fine.
