Reviews of professor Amy Hoeltge

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Lectures were incredibly hard to follow. She didn't really teach what would be on the quizzes or exams so you have to find that stuff on your own (online). She uses ALEKS which is amazing because the quizzes help a lot for the exams (they provide practice questions with answers SAVE THEM!!)

I'm taking orgo with Amy now and I'm finding it very organized and challenging, just what I was hoping for. Amy is very responsive to emails (the lecture is online) and very compassionate. She is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I'm glad I took this course over Summer so I could focus on just it!

Amy is a very unique woman. The course was as hard as I thought it would be but this prof is clear, fair, and very communicative. There's also something magical about her that leaves you feeling calm. It's like my blood pressure dropped a few notches after being around her, which helps in a scary class like chem!

Taking orgo with Amy now. It's a hybrid course with online lectures and in person labs. Honestly, I'd love to take another class on campus with this prof. She's easy going and very helpful during in person office hours. I love the freedom she gives us each week with assignments. I have been able to work full time and manage this course with ease.

Solid prof overall. She's an unusually warm and pleasant individual, and makes orgo feel just a bit less scary. Lectures are in person. She shares her notes online in case you miss class. Office hours are very helpful. Assignments are online and she's flexible with deadlines.

Dr. Hoeltge is very articulate, knowledgeable, and organized. Her teaching style very much worked for me and I found her to be warm and kind. Excellent choice for chem.

Amy is a real one! Took this course during summer and was really happy with the layout. She's really chill and grounded and her teaching is clear and fair. Unexpected win for a chem prof!

I am not a chem person at all but I had to take chem 1 and I am so happy that I got amy. She is amazing and funny and made chemistry enjoyable. Other than labs, the class is only graded on quizzes (drop the worst 2) and tests (worst score is replaced by your best). She did bump me up from an a- to an a just because I improved through the semester!!

Amy definitely knows her stuff and communicates in a very clear manner. That should just be expected of any prof, though. What stands out for me about this prof is her compassion, her patience, and her ability to listen. Chem is hard and it's nice to feel seen in that, and helped through it, especially by the prof.
