Reviews of professor Steven Holloway

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
No tests or quizzes or lectures and all reading and discussion based. Really interesting topics with Cities and Nature and learned a ton. Super flexible teacher and very knowledgeable. Fair grader and not too much work besides readings and final is a presentation or paper on anything you want to do. Would definitely recommend the class.

Just don't take this class or this professor and take a geography class with Hopkins instead. He singles you out if you don't wear a mask. He also changed the second week of the semester making it half online and half in person. Unnecessary amount of discussion assignments that are graded way too harshly. Essay tests are graded even more harshly.

I absolutely loved this class. He gives you the test questions two weeks in advance, and grades them very fairly. You need to follow along with the material and attend class to get an A, but he makes it very interesting and enjoyable. 10/10 would recommend.

Dr. Holloway was a joy to have as an introduction to geography, and an encouraging presence while I explored my interest in the subject and learned more about academic reading and writing. The class requires a consistent amount of reading, but the discussion is engaging and allows for good note-taking and feedback that will reflect your effort.

Took the GEOG 3630 online class for the summer. Never got back to you when you emailed. Had multiple discussions each week, and didn't grade any of them till the last week and gave the class as a whole bad grades. Questions were difficult on the exams.
