TAKE HER!! She loves history, makes her lectures more interesting. She wants you to care, if you participate she'll like it. Honors section had 3 debates, you only participate in 1 and help grade the rest. 4 quizzes, midterm and final. She'll post powerpoints, use them; tests are ESSAYS, so know *something* on the topic, use examples and get an A!

I don't even like history but she's a good teacher. She tells history lectures as if she was there in the moment. She is very knowledgeable on it also. All you have to do is complete the assingned readings, maybe even skim them, and listen well in class to pass.

She is a great teacher and knows a lot of information. 2 exams 50%, 1 final 30% and 7 quizzes 20%. Test questions come from notes so you need to take notes very well if you want an A in the class.

Lectures were very long and boring. The material was very difficult and if you miss class it is very hard to fully grasp what was talked about during lecture. 3 tests and all the combined quiz grades determine your grade and no extra credit opportunity.

I took her for US History in my freshman year. I reminisce on times when class was so simple, for example Dr. Holdzcom's class. She is a kind woman, and you can tell she has a true passion for history. She clearly explains all the material that will be on her tests. You have to read a lot, but if you study, this class should be a breeze!

Feedback was always clear and provided quickly. There was a lot of reading that is required to do well. Lectures were humourous and very interesting. Dr. Holdzkom is VERY enthusiastic about the course and makes the content clear. The final project/presentation was very entertaining. I would definitely suggest this class to anyone!

Really great professor. Attendance is mandatory but she rarely keeps students the whole time. Even when she does, her lectures are very too the point and not full of unneeded information. She really interacts with her students as well. She is very passionate. The readings made the difference between an A and a B student. Wears the cutest dresses :)

Professor Holdzkom is hands down the best history teacher I've ever had! History is definitely not my strong suit but I came out with a fairly easy A and a great experience. Her lectures are long, but she is very animated and really knows some cool stuff about American history. As long as you attend class and take notes you'll be fine! Take her!

Dr. Holdzkom took some time to grow on me. She is VERY enthusiastic and it took time for me to get use to it. Great class discussions and she genuinely was interested in the opinions and information that students had to contribute. No review for tests (2), five reading quizzes (better read), and attendance policy.

I HATE history, but she made it sooo easy! She describes history like a soap opera so its so easy to understand. She is a very nice lady that really does care for her students. I wish I had her for all of my other history classes. Quizzes about every other week, and three tests. Not bad. If you take notes, you'll pass. TAKE HER. YOU WONT REGRET IT!

Lectures are very good, discussion or quiz every week but readings are not difficult. Go to class and take notes, learn material and background then you'll be good.

Old school prof who knows her stuff and expects a lot of upper level students. Five short answer quizzes on readings, two exams with short answers and essay, plus term paper and class discussions on readings. Very nice prof, but won't put up with slack behavior - she'll call you out on it in class. Great class for highly motivated history students.

She is a pretty cool professor. She makes the subject somewhat interesting. The text book is necessary for quizzes. The tests and things aren't really complicated. Just take notes and beat the info into your brain. The MORE you beat, the BETTER your grade!

One of the best professors I've ever had! She explains everything in a way that you actually get interested in the subject and learn at the same time. Tests are not too easy or too hard. She makes it clear about what you have to do to make an A in class. I believe the key to success in her class is just showing up and taking good notes.

Dr. Holdzkom was an extremely good professor. Her class does requires effort to achieve a good grade. You have to study the material and take excellent notes. She covers the material very thoroughly. Meeting her outside of class is extremely easy and she will answer any question you may possibly have on anything. I definitely recommend her class.

Dr. Holdzkom is a wonderful teacher! I have had few like her. You can tell that she is extremely dedicated to her job and truly enjoys the subjects she teaches. She is not monotone at all and makes learning a usually dry subject quite entertaining. If I have to take any more class I will definitely be choosing her!

I didn't fail this class because she knew I took notes every lecture and I was engage in the class and asks questions. Reading the text is required to pass weekly quizzes. The reading took 2 full hours approx. for me each week, including the footnotes and summaries in each chapter. Do all this and you will get a passing grade.

Comment:
She is an alright teacher, but her help outside of the class is little to none. She is very blunt and is very hypocritical when it comes to questions. She will repeat 3-4x if anyone has questions, but when someone does, she will either be rude about it or use you as an example for later class. She cuts no slack and her personality is monotonous.3/5
