Reviews of professor Maria Hoelzli

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
There are no pop up quizzes in this class. All exams and quizzes are announced in the syllabus and she gives out review sheets a week in advance. All notes and assignments are on Moodle in case you miss something. No surprises. She makes sure everyone participates and attendance matters. I think shes a great professor and I would take her again

She was very clear with what she wanted & how she wanted it. Her review sheets were structured exactly like tests/quizzes. It is very important to come to class prepared because she has a history of getting mad at students for not remembering/understanding certain concepts. She randomly calls on students so you will be on ur toes the whole class.

Professor Hoelzli is such a good professor. Her class is very straight forward and an easy class overall. There are 3 quizzes and 3 tests, 1 oral presentation and a final exam. She gives review sheets before every quiz/test and the review sheets are exactly how the test are. If you study for the tests it's a very easy class. Great professor.

Professor Hoelzli is a gem. She's a great teacher and her tests are exactly like the review sheets. If you come to class, do the homework she assigns and study the review sheets for her tests your set. Her class is very easy to pass and is an easy A. If your taking Italian you must take her, she's truly the best.

Shes a great professor. Cares about her students and wants us to do well. Reviews before each exam or quiz and homework and composition assignments are fair. Explains what is expected of you. If you get an A in her class its because she knows her stuff and knows how to teach it. Definitely recommend taking her class.

prof. hoelzli is definitely one of the best language teachers ive ever had. her lessons are very clear & her teaching style is very effective. participation is a must in this class along w/ hw which was due on a website. her review sheets are very similar to the exam. the class is an easy A if u do the work. cannot stress enough how great she is!!!

I'm not sure if classes being changed to online has stressed her out but Professor Hoelzi is just mean. She gets angry and makes you feel embarrassed for not understanding the material and blames it on the fact that we do not study, although we do but it is just hard for some of us since we are in a 101 class. I do not recommend taking her.

I was in Prof. Hoelzlis class in the Fall semester and she was amazing. She reviewed and was patient with us and set up one on one Zoom meetings if we needed extra help.I learned more in her class than I did in previous years and semesters. I think students who complain about her are looking for an easy A. She is not that kind of professor.
