I highly recomend this class to anyone thinking of taking a speech class! If you follow her advice and guidlines closely,it's an easy A.
The professor showed genuine interest in the needs of each student. She communicates well with the class by interacting and being relatable.
She is really nice and respectful and she is open to any questions you have for her. I recommend taking her
She's an awesome teacher! very sweet, always upbeat and easy going. It is an easy A if you do the work. Try not to miss class but if you do email her she is very understandable and will work with you. Lastly, make sure you participate.
If you need a speech credit, I highly recommend taking it with Professor Holloman as your instructor. Her lectures are engaging; she makes the material interesting and is very straightforward in what you need to know. Encourages a comfortable environment, which is helpful if speech/public speaking isn't your strong suit.
I never get bored in this class because Mrs. Holloman is very dynamic with her class.
She is very energetic and honest in her way of teaching. I recommend everyone to take her class. Keep up you good work
Brittany is really sweet and a great teacher, she is very energetic and it makes you not dread going to class.
Brittany Holloman was an outstanding teacher. She is very fair in grading, and since she is young, she relates to her students better.
Best professor ever
Great teacher, easy going, needs participation from students, fun lectures and activities.
Professor Holloman was an excellent teacher! She did a great job explaining the material and making it fun and easy to remember. There were group projects but she let us pick our own groups so we would enjoy who we worked with. She also gave extra credit! Overall she is very understanding and helps you become a confident public speaker!!!
One of the best professors I've had. She's really energetic and passionate about her teaching. She really makes the class feel comfortable and she will help you get out of your shell if you're not the public speaking type. Will help you out if you need it but only to a certain point.
She was very informative about her life and did a good job describing the course at the beginning of the semester.
Make sure you pay close attention to instructions otherwise you'll get points off.
Had I great time in this class!
Not a hard class but participation will get you an A.
Ms. Holloman is a nice and friendly professor. Her class is straight forward and rubrics for speeches is very easy to understand. Very little homework or reading from the book. The only complaint I have are the two tests. The midterm and final have very ambiguous questions and you will not know these answers regardless of how long you study.
I enjoyed taking this class. If you are looking for an easy A, all you have to do is follow the directions and LISTEN! Sometimes she will mention something that is a little specific, so be careful that you don't miss it. Also, she didn't use the textbook very much in class, it was as if we had an open discussion every day. It was pretty neat
She is very Forgiving, and overall it is a very chill and enjoyable class. It is not too hard if you do your work on time.
Brittany Holloman was a fun and knowledgeable instructor. Her speech class was easy, just apply your effort and come to class as much as possible and you'll receive a great grade.
Great professor if you want to learn to be comfortable with public speaking! Super energetic and fun but didn't feel super prepared for midterm/final. Overral great class, just participate and prepare and you'll get an A.
Very relatable with her students. Clear with assignment instructions. Very well versed in the subject.
She is a great teacher
Very good teacher
Great Teacher. Would highly recommend to anyone taking a speech course. Very relatable and makes class fun and enjoyable.
I enjoyed her class. She's fun and laid back. Not a ton of busy work.
Professor Holloman is a fun, energetic, and well-informed educator who genuinely cares about the wellbeing of her students, and is passionate about enabling individuals to become better communicators through offering a variety of course assignments and participation-based activities. The class has been academically-engaging and enjoyable so far
Professor Holloman is a fun and great professor. One of the best I have had yet to this day. She is very much willing to work with you. She makes class fun and exciting unlike many other professors. Also there are many opportunies for extra credit which is a great help. I am going to walk away with a solid A with this class
Brittany is an inspirational teacher. She makes you work for your grade, but does above and beyond to help you get that A. You need to attend class and participate, but she makes it fun and engaging. One of the best professors I have ever had in college (and I go during the year to another school). Make sure you pay attention and try your best!
Ms. Holloman is fun and relatable. The assignments she gives are helpful to becoming a better speaker. She has required speeches and also journal entries. I have had a lot of fun in her class and I would definitely take it again. I feel that I have become a better speaker through her class. Ms. Holloman truly cares about her students' success.
Lot's of extra credit oppurtunities
Overall great teacher. I really enjoyed her class and would take again.
Very funny, great lectures, best professor I have had
Very welcoming, got the class introduction down to a T. Lots of fun and great method of teaching. We need more teachers like her.
She's a great professor. She's funny and makes the class enjoyable. Participation is a grade and there are 3 major speeches given with class activities. Would take her class again if I could.
Professor Holloman is a top notch professor. Come to class, participate, and do the homework and you'll make an A. She cares about you and makes the class really fun and entertaining. I took the wintermester with her and she made the 4 hours a day fly by. I definitely recommend her for this class.
I highly encourage all students to take Prof Holloman's class. I've worked in the corp world for yrs but realized I had a lot to learn abt public speaking. I gained confidence, learned good info from Prof & classmates, get the book to help with journal entries & citations. Tests r online & open book/notes etc. speak up in class participation pts
Professor Holloman is one of the most outgoing and inspirational person. She is very passionate about speech, and gives good feedback to improve skills. Best professor Ive had so far. As long as you do your work, and are prepared for class its an easy A.
Ms. Holloman is nice and she is when she lectures she is pretty good at keeping the class engaged, but when she leaves you comments after your speeches it is very difficult to understand what she writes you because her hand writing is very bad. Another thing is that her tests are very ambiguous, but over all she is a nice teacher.
Ms. Brittany is an amazing professor that truly cares about her students.
Ms. Holloman is one of the nicest professor that I have ever taken. She is super funny&chill one legit one of the chillest professor here at Collin. Her class is easy if you put in the work&effort, she also gives out extra credits so that's a bonus. She is a fair grader and is willing to work with you so that you can do your best! 10/10 recommend!
Ms. Holloman truly cares about her students. Very refreshing to take a professor who still has a passion for her material and her students. She is clear with expectations and fair. Come to class and do your work and you will get an A. She creates a comfortable atmosphere for those who have anxiety about public speaking. It is a fun class.
Great Professor, loved the class, really enjoyed the class, and the class also helped me to improve my public speaking skills.
Ms. Holloman is a great professor who really seems to care about her students. She gives good feedback and is always willing to tell you why she graded the way she did. I really enjoying going to her class because she makes it a fun and really makes you feel comfortable when it is time for you to give your speeches.
Professor Holloman is by far my favorite professor that I've had. I'm really glad that I took her class for wintermester. I would recommend her to all my friends who need to do the class. The only thing that I would say is that you pay attention to her slideshows when it comes to doing the midterm and final. Overall wonderful professor and class.
There's a lot of group discussion and she discusses her movement a lot.
She is very detailed about what she wants an what she looks for in your work. I would take her class again anytime.
Very genuine, helpful and down to earth. She's young spirited making her easily approachable. Take her !
This is the hardest class I have taken so far. I am learning a lot though.
coolest teacher i have ever had. if u r pissed of ur college life take her class. it will re-energize u
Professor Holloman is so understanding and wants nothing more than to teach her students to be the best that they can be! She gives a lot of grade opportunities to help bring up your grade and she makes lectures so fun; they feel more like conversations rather than her just reading out of a book!
If you like socializing and doing group work, this is the class. Easy class
Very good professor! She is very understanding and the class is really fun!
Prof. Holloman is very down to earth and a very casual teacher.
Awesome professor! She is super relatable and takes the time to get to know everyone and is really invested in us and our learning. She is outgoing yet respectful of those who may be more shy. Given how common it is for people to fear public speaking, it is refreshing that she is understanding of this fact and compensates so everyone can learn well
She's really great. Very understanding and is willing to work something out if you miss an assignment or class. She's also very funny and cool. She does give a lot of papers but they're simple and don't require any crazy effort. There's also a couple of speeches so you HAVE to practice and be prepared. The book isn't essential.
She's amazing! From the beginning of the semester I knew I'd enjoy the class and get something out of it too. She relies more on class activities than pure lecturing which I like.
She is easy to understand, get ready to do homework, write journals and do presentations in class. Make sure you are in class then you will be good to go.
She is awesome
She's very understanding about things that happened outside the school. Very helpful and supportive of her students.
Great professor, just show up and follow the rubric and you'll do fine.
Very passionate about what she teaches! Love her, would take her again. Very relatable, makes you feel comfortable enough to participate.
Awesome professor! Super fun and engaged. Challenges you. Really really great!
Class is fun and she keeps in interesting. Not death by PowerPoint. Project rubrics are easy to follow she explains them in class as well. Also let's you know that you don't really need the book until midterms/finals. Attendance is important around the time projects are due and the end of semester. All around Ms. Holloman is a great teacher.
Mrs. Holloman is a great professor who cares a lot for her students and wants to see them flourish. She is very nice and not mean at all.
I absolutely loved this course, it was easy but it was also super encouraging. it helped me step out of my comfort zone and help me better at communicating. she makes class fun while teaching and breaks everything down in a way that's understandable! I would take this course again !
Ms. Holloman is the teacher you are hoping for when you sign up for a class. If you are taking a hard semester I would recommend taking her class just to be less stressed. Her class is very involved and always is a good time. She even has a party at the end of the year!
I hate speaking in front of people, but this class was AMAZING!! Miss. Holloman is a great professor and really tries to make sure everyone is comfortable in class and has a good time. She is super friendly and makes the lectures fun. I wish she could instruct all my classes.
This speech class was really fun and relaxed. Brittany is a really inspiring professor. She has her own non profit that is really impressive and you can tell she is inspired by encouraging others to be all that they can be, I really enjoyed this class overall and it was a fairly easy class as long as you participate.
easy class recommend to anyone who wants to take this easy a
Very laid back and understanding. She is very passionate about all of her students and what she does.
I took Brittanys public speaking course and it was fantastic! Such a sweet professor! Some group projects and only two solo speeches. Easy grader but if you never show up or do any work don't expect to pass. Both exams online, just go to class and you'll do great on them. Overall just a wonderful person!
This class was a breeze. I recommend taking one of her classes if you need a speech credit.
Great professor, very passionate about what she is teaching.
Honestly I gave her a little hard time but she's by far my favorite professor!
An excellent professor overall! Made the class enjoyable, and exciting. Will most definitely take again!
Honestly best speech teacher ever! I learned a lot and always felt comfortable in her class. Always there when needed and gives great feedback after speeches. Super engaging and was never a boring class.
Easy A , just do as instructed you'll be fine. Although be aware of class starting late cause she's not punctual at all.
professor Holloman treats her students with respect, but wanting that respect in return. her class is almost all participation and speeches with 2 online tests( midterm/ final). if you need a speech credit take her class. its fun and an easy A
My professor is 10/10, she has an amazing teaching skills, she is an easy going professor, she has a clear grading criteria, she is approachable, she is ready to help her students, she gives good feedback, she is inspirational, she is hilarious, she is very respected and finally she is the best public speaking professor in collin college.
Professor Holloman is very smart and tells you how it is, responds to your questions with respect. She makes the atmosphere enjoyable and makes it easy for the students to speak. you can learn how to be a better speaker with her guidance. She has a laidback attitude and funny. I would recommend this class for anyone who needs a good grade.
Very passionate and knows her stuff. I highly recommend this teacher. Don't take anyone else.
Very fun and outgoing personality. Loves what she does and takes the time to help you if needed. Kind of a tough grader. But should be an easy class to get at least a B in. Honestly one of my favorite teachers yet. TAKE HER CLASS!!!!!! ALSO, DARE TO BE BRAVE!
Ms. Holloman is an amazing teacher! She is very understanding and you can tell that she cares about her students. I took SPCH 1315 with her, and we did not use the book at all, so don't buy it. She has very funny and engaging, I definitely recommend her class!
Helps you become a better speaker
Professor Holloman is a inspiring teacher, she gives great comments on speeches. She is a very fair teacher and a really charming teacher. Her grading is pretty straightforward so it is easy to learn and do well in her class. I recommend taking her speech class.
Professor Holloman is the best teacher Ive had in my two years of college so far. She is very relatable and cares about each and every one of her students. I definitely recommend taking her class. I would take her again 100 times if I could!!
great communication with her students and always great energy in class.
Energetic
I took this class as an elective and because I saw her rate my professor score. She really is one of a kind. By far the best class and best professor I have had. SIGN UP FOR ANYTHING SHE TEACHES! I got a job immediately by taking this class and know many others in the class are inspired to take steps with their careers as well. I'm sad its over.
My favorite professor as of yet!
Professor Holloman is the best speech teacher ever! She is very passionate about this subject and is able to relate to every student. I would so take her again! She teaches you how to be a great speaker and hoe to be more confident. #Dare2BeBrave
This teacher was by far my best in a while, she's funny, bright, and very caring about her students. While she allows the class to be joking around, she makes sure it doesn't veer off-topic. The assignments are reasonable and the time she gives is generous. She'll answer any questions and prepares her students for any test, great professor overall!
Professor Holloman is a great Speech teacher. I had to take Intro to Speech and she gave me good feedback. Participation is more important in this class than in any other I have ever taken. Be sure to speak up in discussions! She is a very nice person and will help you whenever you need it.
Professor Holloman is knowledgeable, professional, inspirational, but easy-going and approachable. She genuinely wants to help you become a better speaker. She offers extra credit, which is something I always look for. She is engaging and makes class fun. Take her, she's great! (I would take her again, but have taken two SPCH classes already.)
Ms. Holloman is a great professor, she gives lots of good advice not only about the class but for life outside of school too. Very fun and easygoing. Showing up to class is important, attendance was a big part of the grade. Overall, great experience with this class and Ms. Holloman.
Professor Holloman is hands down one of the best professors I have ever had. Throughout the semester you are required to give speeches but with every speech it just gets easier. As long as you follow her directions and have really good content in the speech, her class is a breeze. She is very caring and dedicated to her students. 20/10 recommend.
Professor Hollomon was one of my favorite professors. She had very inspiration lectures about things you wont find in any other class. With this public speaking class, she did an excellent job of making you feel comfortable presenting in front of class. If you need to complete your speech requirements, this is the professor you need.
Professor Holloman was an incredible teacher! She was very insightful and helpful throughout the entire course. Attendance is required, but I promise its worth it to show up.
Professor Holloman is a wonderful professor. She grades really fair and if you participate in class you will get an A. She is one of the best professors I had at Collin and if you get the opportunity you should take her.
Professor Holloman is extremely nice and personable, but her class is kind of hard to follow. I attended pretty much every class but definitely could've skipped and still been fine. She didn't administer traditional tests but does grade speeches rigorously. She was never super specific about what she wanted in them though, so they are pretty tough!
Brittany keeps it real in the class. Her lectures are more discussions and she relates everything to real life. We had 4 speeches for maymester (2 individual and 2 group) with very clear expectations and grade sheets. Do your outlines and journals and those easy points will help you get better grades if speeches arent really your thing!
She is one of the best professors that you can ever have. She makes lectures fun, and there is nothing that she didn't cover in the semester. She makes it known that she is there because she cares, and not just because of a paycheck. I would take her class again if I had the chance.
This was one of my favorite classes Ive ever taken. Professor Holloman is very relatable and funny and makes everyone feel comfortable when you have to go up to present. Theres a good amount of group presentations but it was fun nonetheless!
Professor Holloman is the best! Her class is structured unlike any other I've experienced. She's huge on listening to her students and encouraging a sense of freedom in the classroom that is so refreshing. Make sure you at least pretend to be passionate about your topics and you'll do fine. Attendance is only mandatory on activity and speech days.
Always positive and encouraging. She's big on freedom and creativity, especially with essays. Sometimes too broad. Open to class discussion and changes.
Professor Holloman is smart and encouraging Professor. Kind most of the time but tough when needed, Professor Holloman knows that to be successful in "the real world" you must go above and beyond. She works to instill this mentality in her own students.
Professor Holloman is the most genuine, encouraging, and inspirational professor I've ever had. She keeps every lecture interesting by allowing a ton of class interaction, and I looked forward to attending her class twice a week. The way you think will be challenged and you'll get so much more from this course than just the credit!
When I found out that I had to take another speech class I was rolling my eyes into the back of my head, however I was lucky enough to have a great professor that changed my attitude towards the class. She has a true passion for the subject and inspires her students to speak up about the things we cared about. Thank you for being my teacher!
She was clear with instructions given and you just have to do your work on time for submission.
I loved Professor B! Shes is young and fun and thriving. She is a big on mental health and gives you ways to feel more comfortable during speechs. She wants to make the class fun, shes very understanding but wants you to talk and be involved! She gives many ways to make an A which isnt hard just make sure you put yourself out there.
Professor Holloman is a great professor for speech. I enjoyed the freedom that she gave us on our speeches. You are allowed to choose whatever topic fits the criteria which allows you to create speeches on subjects you enjoy or want to talk about. I would definitely recommend this course. If you follow the assignment guidelines, you will do well.
Professor B is a great professor, unlike some teachers, she is extremely open minded and allows students to express their beliefs and views. She also really care about her students and tries to make sure that they are doing okay outside of class and provides ways to help students with their grades.
I cant tell you how AMAZING This woman is!!! I went through a breakup last semester and I missed one of the speeches that was worth a lot and she was SO UNDERSTANDING. By far my favorite teacher I have EVER had
if you need a speech class TAKE MRS.B CLASS!!!! she is the nicest teacher I've ever had she truly cares for all her students. She shares a lot of stories that make the lesson super interesting and it's very engaging in class. 10/10 teacher, she is an awesome queen woman. Just participate and turn stuff in on time and you will be fine!
TAKES MRS.B I wasnt the best at making speeches but she is literally the best professor you can find. You can tell she really cares about her students and has a great sense of humor. Her speeches are so inspirational and she does a great job of understanding students.
I am not great at writing nor am I good at public speaking in any aspect. Yet, I still got a 100 in the class. Attendance is mandatory but overall a genuinely easy class. You dont need a textbook. If you get your stuff turned in on time, you will have no problem. If you have an A at the end of the class, you dont have to take the final.
very great professor, she is very honest and open during her lectures which is cause for inspiration.
She is a very driven and motivated professor who wants you to succeed in general rather than just being successful in her class alone.
Honestly, the best professor I have taken at Collin! You need to take her class. The work isn't hard at all. I had to do 3-4 speeches, I believe. I wasn't a fan of the speeches, not because it was hard but I wasn't that good of a speaker. She is always smiling and telling great stories. She is very encouraging. Best professor ever!!!!!
I loved how this professor was always trying to get the class comfortable in having discussions that dived deeper into who we were (for speeches). She also loved when the class was able to participate in the discussions and was always there if you reached out to her. Was I worried about making speeches before, yes. Did this class change that, yes!
Professor B always tied in lectures to interesting stories. She cared about her students' opinions and wanted others to participate during class. Overall, she was very friendly and you could tell she wanted her students to succeed in both school and in the real world.
Professor Holloman has been my favorite professor so far, she is so real and genuinely cares about all of her students. Her class is so much fun, we had a couple group projects/ presentations and one or two individual. Also don't stress if you are shy or not a people person because by the end of her class that will change!
Professor Holloman is very kind and caring, but she overwhelmed herself this semester causing her to be late ever day and unorganized which caused a lot of confusion in our class. Overall the group projects are good and your individual speeches she will grade nicely on if you attend class. Communication is an issue and expectations could be clearer
Professor Holloman is enthusiastic about her work and it shows. The coursework and assignments were simple, concise, and relevant to other courses. Great feedback to keep you on track with the course. Curriculum is easy to follow and free of "fluff". I would definitely take her class again!
I took Professor Holloman my first semester of college and she was amazing!! I was one point away from a 90 and she rounded it up so I didn't have to take the final! She's really caring and wants to see you succeed. Take her if you can!!!!
Don't take her online course. Her canvas page is the most confusing I've seen. Her instructions are very confusing. Doesn't respond to emails or responds to them extremely late. Her lectures she links don't help all that much. Offers extra credit but hurts your grade if you don't do it. Extremely picky on formatting. Might be better in-person.
I took the online class. You could work ahead on assignments. The outlines for each assignment were not very clear on what you were supposed to do. We made a group me very early on to find partners for the many group assignments. Most of the learning occurred from doing rather than lectures or a textbook.
I'm not sure why the other recent reviews were so negative but she's a really good teacher and the class is easy, as long as you follow the due dates that are published in the canvas calendar you will be fine. Two speeches, and a couple of written assignments which are easy but must be done in a specific format stated in the syllabus.
I took her Summer 2023 online. Amazing class I remember we just had to record ourselves 4 times and the topics are so easy and for 2 minute max. I highly recommend taking her if you want an easy semester and 0 struggle in this class. She is fast to responding emails and she gives you so much ideas to talk about.
I really enjoyed my speech class with Professor Holloman. She had clear instructions, purposeful assignments, beneficial feedback, and genuinely wanted us to succeed. I would definitely recommend taking her classes.
Professor Holloman runs an engaging speech class. Her assignments are straightforward, and she provides helpful feedback. unstuck AI is a great study tool alongside the course materials. Definitely recommend taking her class if you want an easy yet rewarding semester.
EXHAUST ALL OPTIONS BEFORE TAKING THIS COURSE!!!! Let a double decker bus strike me down before I take this course again. Never responds to emails. Feedback is terrible. Every assignment is confusing. It's like Russian roulette but all of the barrels are loaded and going off in consecutive rounds. Maybe take it in person and gamble with those odds.
Never responds to emails
I thought Professor B was a great teacher. Her class was easy to follow, and the assignments were helpful. She also responded to my emails the same day, sometimes within minutes.
She does not give clear instructions. Relies on students to help her organize her instructions since she saw I would ask her about her layout and would say "would you help remind me." She gives you examples but when you go based off of it you will still get a low score.
An online group speech class was always gonna be difficult. Thankfully I had a good group and she was very understanding if anything came up. We had 1 personal narrative speech and 1 group speech through the semester. Course work wasn't too heavy, the hard part was coordinating with everyone in the group. She's a very easy grader.
