Reviews of professor Lisa Holleran

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The lectures seemed sped through, so I would take the time to read the textbook for clarification. There are group assignments. She likes to call on people so be ready to participate. There are guest speakers so that is fun, and before midterms/finals she likes to play jeopardy games.

Dr. Holleran was an amazing professor. She had a lot of guest speakers which was really cool. She encouraged insightful discussions and collaboration. The exams were not to difficult if you participate in class and study the study guide she gives you. Overall great course and great professor

Lectures are dull and she does not engage with students as people. Mostly she is snide and standoffish aftet class. She also has a blatant dislike of minorities - esp women of color. Grades arbitrarily based on who her favorites are (all her favorites are "mysteriously" white). AVOID.

I absolutely love Dr. Holleran! She is probably one of my favorite professors at St Edwards! She has a way of teaching that makes you want to learn. She will help you in any way she can. She encourages to meet her in office hours if you have any problem with the assignments. As this was a research class, we didnt have a textbook!

Took this class during zoom just so I could have Dr. Holleran as my professor again--that's how amazing she is. Her lectures are in-depth, her stories are great, and she goes the extra mile to make criminal justice as a whole come to life. You're truly missing out if you don't take Dr. H during your time at SEU!

This is a hard and horrible class. She treats students like they are dumb and assigns so many papers. She doesn't seem to have empathy for students who are struggling in her classes, as she does not make herself accessible outside of class. She's very condescending and is definitely not my favorite professor.

Holleran is one of the best professors at SEU, her classes are interesting and lively. She likes discussions so be prepared for class and to participate. She is extremely nice and always makes herself available for any questions you may have. She is also very understanding and would totally recommend her, an amazing professor!

Good professor, really helpful. Tests were a little tricky but she tried her best to help us understand everything and help us out.

Awful class. She treats students like they are morons and talks down to minorities. Also makes fun of people with dietary restrictions and disabilities. It's clear she has no clue how to act with diverse groups. I hated every second of her class and will not take her again.
