Reviews of professor Holly Vandewall

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prof Vandewall is sometimes alllll over the place with her lectures, and I wouldn't say I agree with everything she says, but she's a super kind and caring prof who's very willing to help her students. Relatively easy grader, and the insane amount of reading wasn't all necessary.

Decent professor. Very obviously passionate about the topic and willing to answer any questions students pose. The topic of philosophy, though, is super boring to me so that's probably why her talks didn't resonate with me. However, super nice professor and a fair grader.

Vandewall is teaches a very solid Perspectives IV section, though I don't know if I came away from it with the same profoundly view-shifting experience I did with PI. There is less room for student interaction & discussion in PIV, but Holly is a very kind and enthusiastic teacher who will teach some really neat things in her class.

Excellent Professor. One of the most intelligent people I've ever met. Remembers everything and explains it in an easy way. Really engaged in the class topics and easy grader when she knows you are interested. Class material is necessary and she takes all the 50 minutes but very flexible on assignments.

She's really tough and keeps you till the end of class every time even on the 3 hour class period on Wednesday but she's one of the smartest teachers at the school. If you are just trying to fill requirements though might try for a different professor

Had her for Faith, Ethics, and Sciences (complex problems course). We had to read A LOT before each class, and they were all boring. Every class we would have a reading quiz, but they were so much more detailed than they had to be. Not a horrible class, but definitely required a lot of work so I'd recommend doing an easy phil or theo core instead.

Good teacher, very passionate about her topics and good at explaining everything.  Fair grader and very open to  answering questions.  Very nice person and interesting to listen to in lectures.

Take perspectives with Dr. Holly she's an easy grader & super open to helping you with essays and explaining her comments in office hours. Lectures are based on readings and your grade has a participation component so at least skim them on days you're planning on participating. Uses the full 50 min but makes sure you understand stuff before tests
