Reviews of professor Paul Holmquist

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is very passionate about what he is teaching but he tends to get carried away in his own thought. During the lectures I really did not get what he was saying but after studying you can understand better and with proper preparation can do well on any exam. He cares about his students and their grades, completely willing to work with you.

He is very passionate about what he talks about but it absolutely makes zero sense. He uses entirely way too much figurative vocabulary when trying to describe real-life things so it literally confuses the F out of everyone. He wants you to write down what he says and not what he puts on the PowerPoint for the lectures but it is very unorganized.

I would NEVER take this professor again. Your grade is essentially made up of three tests and quizzes every single weekend. First test is 20% of your grade, and the second two are 30% each. You HAVE to take notes in class to pass the tests which are in class and 40 mins with extended response. He also grades harshly, so many people had to drop it.

Terrible. Long lectures that nobody can understand. Quizzes aren't on anything said in class or in notes. Slow grader so you never know what you have in the class. Very few grades so it is difficult to bring grade up.

Professor Holmquist makes absolutely zero sense. Any question he asks if you answer cosmos or order you have an 80% chance of being right. You have to take handwritten notes on every lecture which sounds bad but you get to use your notebook on the midterm and final exam which makes it slightly less annoying. More of a philosophy than architecture.
