Comment:

I would not recommend Professor Holler. She is highly opinionated and doesn't care about your beliefs or way of thinking. She is always right. To get an A, you must do VERY well on the midterm and the final. They are weighted very high and unnecessarily difficult. Get ready to read as well; the textbook is long, boring, and very one-sided.

Really clear powerpoints and very easy to do well if you follow instructions and put the work in. Very good at correcting you without being rude or condescending and irrelevant but she dresses really well :)

Comment:

A lot of work is done in this class that means nothing when adding up your overall grade. In order to receive a decent grade in this class you have to perform well on both the midterm and final. I am not sure if this is normal grade scale for other professors who teach course but I would definitely check and avoid this professor. Exams Proctored

Comment:

Terrible professor. She makes you do a lot of work during the semester but in the end that work barely counts for anything. The tests are what counts the most and they are super hard. I took this class as an online class but she made students come in to take the exams in a proctored room.

Take her if you can! The class is pretty straightforward. Her lectures are light and she makes learning fun. The hardest part is actually giving a speech, but the grading criteria is clear. The tests aren't too bad and she gives you study guides for each one.

Comment:

When I say test heavy, what I mean is you take a final exam worth 25% to 30% of your grade and its one of the hardest tests Ive ever taken. I made high bs and as all semester long and put in good work, but still might fail the class just due to the final exam. She does not give you the resources to study and loads you with work. Do not take her.

I really enjoyed taking Holler's class. I learned a lot and she was always a fair grader. You can tell how passionate she is about Public Speaking and she made it fun. This class is a lot of work but if you stay on top of things it is pretty easy to get an A. Test are easy too.

Comment:

Hard class for a level 1000, but Professor Holler cares about her students success. I was going to end the class with a 79.1 from missing a couple of assignments and she allowed me to turn it in late to get the extra points I needed to make a B.

Comment:

Communications sounds easy, but the tests are impossible. Most cover 4 chapters and are extremely picky. I can't get greater than a B on any test and I study for 3 days. No curve, no extra credit.

Comment:

This class is way too hard for a basic 1000 class. She gives a decent amount of homework, although she is a pretty easy grader. Her tests are lock-down browser AND webcam required and are extremely detail oriented. You have to read the entire book word for word and know the tiniest details. Would not recommend if you don't have a lot of time.

Comment:

I really liked Prof. Holler, she cares about communication and responds quickly. She offers extra help and will give you hints if you ask her specific questions. The tests are difficult. As long as you study hard you can make high B's or A's. There are writing assignments/discussion post. If you have a heavy schedule do not take this class.

Comment:

Professor Holler's health communication class is DIFFICULT. She gives you so much work that's not necessary. Her semester-long project where we had to present at least 4 times was exhausting. She does not grade too hard on the papers but there is a lot of writing assignments as well. Her final exam is comprehensive so do not throw away your notes.

Comment:

This class is too much work for a low level required class.. Unless you can memorize 100 silly definitions for each test, word for words, you will be frustrated. You have to work very hard simply to make a B. My friends got a C with effort. Impossible to get an A with her point system and difficult exams.

Comment:

Her tests cover 4 chapters and are over little phrases you could never memorize from the book. You can't use your book as all tests require proctored exams. Group projects and discussion every week. This is a demanding and time consuming class. My friend took the classroom class and it was so much easier.

Even though the material is not hard, the tests are proctored and you can't use your notes or your book. Take the classroom classss instead. Much easier.
