Reviews of professor Jessica Holtby

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Very sympathetic. The content isn't too difficult, and she is really great at helping students get through the occasional difficult concept. Attendance isn't mandatory, but participation does contribute to your final mark. Loves group projects, but gives individual marks during those as well. Perfect choice all around, 10/10 prof.

Such a lovely teacher she really cares about her students and gave every opportunity for them to do well. My French experience is good so take my difficulty rating with a grain of salt but not a hard class overall. Such a pleasure being in her class this semester. Wen't into labour on the day of our final so FÉLICITATIONS Madame!

I really loved this class with Professor Holtby. This class is very collaborative where you work on multiple group projects & are put into discussion groups over Zoom/in person classes. She's accessible outside of class with her office hours & answers any questions I had about the previous class or homework. The class was challenging & engaging.

Professeure Holtby is an incredibly supportive and caring teacher. She gave plenty of individual feedback and really cares for all of her students. The class is immersive and does everything it can to push you to fully engage with the language and culture. Although difficult to keep up with at times, her class is built to support the student.

You have to be willing to talk a lot in class and study lots, but overall if you work hard you'll do well. You get three free absences which is nice, but if you skip you do miss a lot of material. Jessica is very understanding and helpful, and makes class fun.

Jessica is a wonderful choice for French Language Learners! She is engaging, dynamic, and super supportive and encouraging. She wants you to succeed, and makes her class a great blend of lecture, independent work, and group practice opportunities. Very approachable and responsive, and would definitely take another course from her again!

genuinely a caring professor and enjoys seeing her students succeed. encourages you to work hard, and also realize where you went wrong. lectures were always fun and she always had new activities or games planned. tough course, but she made it easier. allows you to rewrite assignments for better grades
