Reviews of professor Chad Holmes

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Holmes is a really nice guy, very understanding but he is not lenient. You have responsibilities and expectations and he will hold those to you. Weekly open textbook quiz and there is no homework you are only expected to read the pages of the textbook assigned, Remembering sources for exams is the hardest part. Great prof, hard class imo.

If you pay attention and participate you should be fine. All tests, and exams are relevant to the content being studied, but you also have to be ready to do some critical thinking.

Very attendance-based. His exams are crazy difficult so be ready to memorize everything from the lecture.

Timed quizzes (source analysis) every Thursday. If you're a slow writer, you will have an extremely difficult time finishing the tests and the weekly quizzes. Though the quizzes are taken weekly and are 15% of your final grade, the highest score one could receive would be a 95%. Followed by 85% and 75% (why??). Enjoyable and engaging lectures.

Professor Holmes is a really great professor while his class is not an easy A you definitely will learn and once you complete the course you will feel that you accomplished something.

Great teacher. He really engages the students within the material. If you pay attention, participate in class, and put in the work you will be rewarded. His class was very interesting and made me a better critical thinker. Make sure you read the book for the quizzes and make flash cards for the tests.
