Reviews of professor Amber Holmes

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She teaches very fast and her syllabus just seems to go by so fast. That is we have so many quizzes and exams every week/month. Quizzes practically every Friday, "mini exams," regular exams, and online homework. She is there to answer questions but doesn't connect with the students. Just lectures and gives quizzes.

Amber is a very good lecturer, she works out problems very clearly on the board. If you take notes you won't have a problem with tests or homework.

She's nice as a person and explains things well if you have any questions. My only problem with her class is that she moves way too fast. I spend all of my time writing down the notes instead of paying attention. Some days I have 5+ pages of notes. For studying, use the practice exams she gives you. They're nearly identical to the test.

Moves too fast and expects a lot of work shown.

Although this class was completely online this year, it was much easier that way. She will post the lecture to YouTube, and you would take notes from that. There was a daily lecture quiz just to make sure you paid attention (easy 4/4). All the exams and quizzes were online, which had many pros and cons. This class is easy online, but idk in-person.

If youre slow at math dont take this class. She goes very fast and never answers questions or explains how to do the work. She has notes and copies down how to do the problem without actually explaining how to do it. She also says to submit excused absences but never changes your grade for it.

She moves really fast so if you don't understand the first time well idk. There is a quiz every Friday but she gives you the questions a week prior. The only thing I would say is that she is really specific on how you show work so if you don't show your work like she wants then you could get the question wrong.

She didn't teach horribly, but definitely wasn't the best. She never really answered questions in class and wasn't good about responding to emails. The content isn't hard, so it didn't matter too much how good of a professor you have for MA109. Be prepared for a ton of online homework though.

Professor Holmes now goes by Scruggs but she is definitely my least favorite teacher. She appears to be nice but is very petty. She will finish a lecture 30 mins early and then make you stay. I ended with a 89.44 and asked if she could bump me and she flat out said no. I do not recommend taking her class unless you took algebra 2 in HS
