good teacher. she actually has a sense of humor, and is willing to negotiate on grades. the only problem with her is that she doesnt give out 100s. the highest grade is a 94 (with 90-94 being an a, 80-89 a b, and so on).

For a 1000 level class, she's a pretty tough grader. I consider myself a good writer and student, but her assignments are really tough. NOT an easy A, but you do learn a lot about literature so it's a good elective for somebody who wants to know more about literature. Don't buy the book because most the readings can be found online.

I liked this class due to good the good literature and fun, challenging writing assignments. However, it was a little disappointing as to the lectures, she taught the material but not very in depth. I wish she held the class to a higher standard to fuel really mentally challenging discussion.

I'm not saying it's impossible to get an A, but it's really difficult. Everything you write will have some sort of flaw, so your best work will yield you only about 90% of the points for the assignment. My point is that you can not slip up a single time on any assignment because if you do, getting an A in the class isn't going to happen.

Mrs. Holt has by far been one of my favorite teachers! One word I would use to describe her is raw. I loved how real she was with her students. She gives good feedback and is willing to help you out at any time, but you definitely have to put the effort into your work. As long as you work hard, take her feedback, and go to class you will do fine.

Professor Holt is hands down the worst professor I had this semester. She is COMPLETELY unaware of her own grading criteria and still, grades ridiculously hard, as if she had given us clear instructions.

Had Prof. Holt for Shakespeare, and I LOVED this class. She is a riot. Even if you're not someone who's into literature, I think you will find something to enjoy in this class. She lets the class pick which plays to study which is super cool. Do all the smaller assignments-they will cushion your grade. Even brought us cake on the last day. Amazing
