I thought this was going to be a boring class..turned out to be fun..a few quizes..movies..3 essays..one group project..I am the person that wants easy all the time...this class is easy and interesting..flexible teacher...answers ?'s and gives lots of extra credit..we read three books...Nickel and dimed, human rights, and the politics of injustice

Really interesting professor, sparks marginal interest in subject matter, pop quizzes constantly, grades essays VERY strictly, overall pretty good.

Holman works with her students and presents material in an interesting way. There are a lot of pop quizzes but if you read you will be fine. Essays are graded hard but follow the instructions and you wil be fine. The text books and the class overall is very LIBERAL which is good for some and bad for others. Overall fun class and good professor.

she is a great teacher and really wants you to learn the material. no tests! only a couple quizes and one group project. i would recommend her for other students!

She is very nice and give a decent amount of extra credit but the reading material and NYT articles are endless. Jumps around on the reading material too much and is very hard to follow. Grades very hard on papers. Very liberal too one sided, USA should not be the only country to take care of the poor of the world, she goes off on that too much.

Holman's class actually made me change my major to justice studies - made learning fun. i prefer the "easy a" classes; this def. wasn't one of them but turned out to be my fav. good class if you just want to see if JUS is right for you... ALL you have to do it read, and it's all interesting material so you wont be disppointed.

ive commented already but to clarify for future students: her lectures were so interesting to me - she encorporated lots of group discussion! Lots of NYTimes articles but they were short so pop quizzes were easy. interesting reading and easy EC. very helpful w/final. easy on paper-grading, she returned them w/comments for improvement! i loved her.

shes amazing! loved both classes i took with her! definitely taker her if possible

I have now graduated from ASU, but Chris Holman is the BEST professor I had during my whole entire time as an undergrad! seriously the most interesting and fun class to go to...she's awesome!

Holman genuinely tries to take care of her students and make the class enjoyable. It's just really easy; there are A LOT of extra credit opportunities, and the tests are cake as long as you read. The main issue with the class is the textbook--the amount of spelling errors is unbelievable. I spent more time editing it than reading it.

Dr. Holman is an awesome teacher. I was originally signed up to take this class from another professor, but the teacher dropped last minute. Best mishap ever. Very helpful, tests from book and lecture, reading absolutely required. Ask questions and study. I highly recommend her as a teacher and am taking another one of her classes.

Interesting class I learned alot about serial killers. Her tests are right from the book so make sure you do the readings. She was really helpful when I went by her office to talk with her. I will definitely take another class from her next semester!

I took this section because I heard that Holman was a good teacher. I was not let down. Overall it was a great class and she was really helpful and interesting!

Very interesting class. Lots of videos, lots of reading. Dr. Holman is very helpful, if she doesn't know the answer she will look it up for you. Lots of extra credit opportunities. Tests are straight from the study guide and youtube videos. Attendance is mandatory. often gave extra credit when class size looked small.

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! Such a stimulating course, lots of A&E videos on serial killers great lectures, text book is a good read and pretty cheap. First time taking her and I've signed up for 2 of her classes this semester. lost of class participation lil to no assignments offers extra credit! EASY COME TO CLASS! it was one class i refused to miss

I had Holman for JUS207 and 105. Best professor I have ever had. Always answers questions quickly in class or email, gives material straight from tests and makes classes so interesting I changed my major to Jus. Studies! People say she sometimes doesn't know what she is doing, it's b/c she is a graduate student. But honestly, best professor ever.

I enjoyed this course very much! I took her JUS 435 Cinema class and am now taking JUS 494 with her and enjoy it as well. They are both 7 week courses so there is plenty of work to do every week, but she is very helpful and is always willing to help when needed. She was quick to respond to emails and is understanding of any problems. Recommended!

Absolutely amazing. LOVED her and the class. Wish I could take more of her courses. (I'm not a fan of online courses in general -- or I SO would.) Recommended 100%.

I took the online course. Her test I believe must have been for her in class as well as online, because there where test quetions that where not on online discussions. She gave a lot of extra credit for the online course. I believe to make up for the discrepancies. Would recommend if you like to read, watch movies, and write. Fairly easy.

LOVED Dr. Holman! Any time I had a problem she responded w/in 24 hours or sooner. Her expectations & due dates were extremely clear. In her 7wk online class, there was a 20q quiz and an essay every week, and about 2 chapters to read. Tests are fairly easy and the essays are easy if youre a good writer. I wish I could take her again!

She is an excellent teacher! She cares about her students and is very helpful. She is extremely clear in what she wants and in what she will ask in tests. She always asks if Attendance is mandatory but class is interesting and if you read the book you're pretty much set. If you're interested in the subject you will do well

Best. Teacher. Ever. hands down. So nice and knowledgeable. Answers e-mails quickly, and is super helpful. You HAVE to go to class, not that anyone minds, because you should be interested if you are taking this class. A lot of videos from youtube, must read the book to pass the exams. Offered a couple extra credit opportunity. She's SUPER funny.

Dr. Holman is incredibly nice and always willing to work with her students. This was my second course with her and I absolutely love her as a profssor.

Dr. Holman is an EXCELLENT professor. She is very active, engaging, responds to questions quickly, clarifies things as many times as needed, and provides stimulating conversation and thought provoking course content. She challenges you to think outside the box. I highly recommend her to anyone taking a justice course. You will love her!!

Took online and got by with taking one day out of the week to do all the weekly coursework. Lots of required movies/videos and the reading isn't that bad. The exams are based heavily on the movies and reading so make sure you actually pay attention. Weekly discussion board posts but it was an interesting class and I would recommend it

Great professor, my favorite class of this semester. Plus the material is really interesting. Weekly tests and discussion boards...youtube videos & readings. Easy class if you do the work.

Holman is a fair grader. She keeps the class, even though its online, interesting. I am going to look for her classes again later on.

This class a lot more demanding than I anticipated. Weekly quizzes on the readings, and a discussion post every week. Then a 7 page paper at the end. She offers a lot of extra credit so take advantage of that, I was able to get an A+

Holman is a great instructor! She grades fairly and is crystal clear about what she expects from her students. Overall,one of my best instructors so far without a doubt! I will definitely look for more of her classes later on.

This professor is great. Online is great for this class, watch movies and write on discussion board on what you read in the book, test are okay, its open book/ notes, but not what you think. Good class to do other wise make sure you ask her questions if needed.

Good class. Lots of reading, LOTS. (60 pages a week at times) But if you read the material and pay attention, Easy A. The essay at the end of the term was quite annoying since we already did so much reading as it was. A lot of work.

Such a great class! Tests are easy and are based on class readings and videos, but the answers can easily be found in the book or google. Interesting topics, quick to respond to emails, and offers alot of extra credit. A great class and professor!

Great professor! One discussion post and quiz a week. Reading wasn't too bad and it was interesting. The quizzes came straight from the book or videos and lectures. Takes notes during her online lectures. She is a great professor, just actually apply yourself in the discussion posts!

Professor Holman does such a great job making this class fun! Interesting class, easy discussion boards, and easy tests if you watched the movies. I only used the book during tests and it helped out a lot since she references the text quite a bit. Fun class and awesome professor, would recommend to anybody who wants an easy, fun class

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. You can tell the professor has a genuine interest in the topic and wants to ensure the students keep an interest as well. Weekly discussion board posts and quizzes. Not terribly difficult and I highly recommend the course.

Took this & JUS 374 with her online, and JUS 301 in person. Great professor, more than willing to help Exams are exactly like the study guide so if you do those, you'll pass with a breeze.

Easily one of my favorite professors.

Professor Holman is an amazing, down-to-earth prof. She is always clear and concise with what information she wants you to know and makes sure she reviews properly before tests. She kept the class entertaining and fun while at the same time ensuring that students were following and keeping up. If you need any help her office hours are great!!

Dr. Holman is one of my favorite professors at ASU. She is passionate about the material, does everything to see her students succeed, works to form personal connections (even in a class of 200), cracks tons of jokes, and makes class really interesting. YOu have to do the work (go to class,read, take notes, watch videos) but it's really interesting

One of the best professors I've had so far. The class was super interesting and had no homework but you have to study hard for the exams. Attendance mandatory but you get extra credit if you go to all the classes. She is really funny and is very clear about what things you need to know. Seriously great professor

Absolutely hilarious. You'll never be bored in any of her lectures, which helps a lot in keeping focus and learning the material. She's very straight forward in what she expects and what will be on the test. Just do what she asks and you'll do fine. Attendance is mandatory. Get ready to read. Material is sometimes emotionally heavy so expect that.

Really interesting class. The material comes from the textbook (which was interesting) and YouTube documentaries (make sure you watch them). My only issue was that the material started to weigh on me emotionally after a little while, but she does warn you that could happen. If you're interested in that stuff, definitely take this class.

I don't know why this professor is ranking with a 3.8. I give her an easy 5. I think people need to understand that these are 400+ level courses. Of course we are going to have a lot of reading and essays. Prof Holman is clear in her expectations and gives you the material to succeed. She is understanding and helpful. Taking 3 more of her classes.

Seems like she put a lot of work into designing the class . Good lectures and clip selections. Take the discussion posts seriously or you won't do well. Tests are tough - a few of the answers are very likely wrong but you have to schedule time with her just to find out what you got wrong (needless to say, knowing is not worth it).

This class requires strong analytical thinking, but it taught me so much I wish I could re-take it ten times over. I learned so much it was unbelievable, I loved it. Weekly tests & discussion boards and one final book review. If you do the readings and follow the instructions & feedback from instructor, you should do well. I LOVED this class!

Great teacher. I'm taking another class of hers in the spring.

Huge emphasis on tests - 50 points each. If you miss one you're pretty much screwed; this class affected my GPA because of it. 2 pts extra credit are added to early DB posts, but insufficient to make up for 1 missed test. Material is mentally challenging because topics of genocide being covered.

Dr. Holman's lectures really allow you to learn naturally instead if just learning to pass a test. She really knows what she's talking about and really wants people to participate. Be sure to go to every class cause she covers a lot of material every class period! All in all great professor and awesome class!

Really great class! She treats discussion boards like papers, knowing that, she is really clear on what she expects. Weekly extra credit! Chose a verity of movies. Beware: you have to find the movies yourself! Sometimes that was not easy! Tests were not too bad. Read everything! The text is interesting, all quiz questions come from text or movie.

I have taken his professor both in-person and online and if you ever have the option to take her in-person DO IT! While her online class was not extremely difficult, it was not nearly as interesting. Her class in-person is phenomenal if you're actually wanting to learn. I got an A+ in-person and a B+ online. Highly recommend this professor!

there is a test and discussion board do every week and one paper at the end of the class. If you read all the materials she gives you for that week you will do fine on the DBs and the tests. Need to actually put effort into this class or you won't pass. you do get 2 EC points each week for the DBs.

If you really want to learn this subject, she's a great professor for this class... you will be forced to read the text ahead of the weekly 25 qstn test - answers are not spoon-fed in lectures. The grading is fair and feedback on forums, etc. is very clear. Dr. Holman is also very available via e-mail and visible in the course. Work and get an A.

This is the second class I've taken with Dr. Holman. She is responsive and very willing to help. The subject matter is interesting and current with a good mix of journals, news, and videos instead of a text book. Dr. Holman does not give easy A's - you will work for a good grade, but grading is fair with extra credit options and you will learn.

BEST PROFESSOR OUT THERE! In person class material is really engaging. Have to go to classes but she'll give TONS of EC for showing up. Her tests are straight forward, and same with the grading of written assignments. Really there for you. Really caring, and open to any type of discussion, and straight forward. Take this class! Class requires work

Dr. Holman is hands down one of my favorite professors so far. She really cares about her students and having them succeed. She's very understandable and is always willing to help. Go to class (she notices when you are not there), read the books, and theres no reason you shouldnt get an A. There are also a lot of extra credit opportunities!

Dr. H is by far my favorite professor at ASU. She's very caring and very clear on what she expects out of all of us. Although attendance isn't mandatory, she gives out random extra credit points just by showing up, or she'll take attendance by an in-class assignments. But seriously class is so interesting that you'll WANT to go to it.100% recommend

I think Dr. Holman might be my favorite professor at ASU. She's incredibly knowledgeable & cares about the students especially in regards to how they're dealing with the subject matter. She's been an invaluable asset to my education & I'm proud to have learned from her.

Listen to the lectures, read the book and watch the movies a couple times. She knows her stuff and CLEARLY lists out all requirements for each post/reply assignment as well as the final. My only issue is the division of the class into small groups, many do not follow her directions and it can be a drawback when you need to get your reply in.

Good class! Teacher was great, but is a little tight on grading on discussion post and on final paper. All test are 25 questions each, once you answer the question and move forward you can't go back. Make sure you read the text book that's where all the answers come from along with the lectures!

The class I took was fairly simple, you just needed to read the required chapters and watch the lectures and movies. As long as you did that then you would ace the quizzes and discussions. I would definitely take the course again.

Dr. Holman is one of the most understanding and caring professors I have had at ASU so far. She always provided amazing feedback in order for you to grow more in your next assignments. A super nice and accessible professor who genuinely cares about her students and making sure they understand the course work. Will definitely be taking another class

I loved this class! The material was engaging and not that difficult. The online class is fast-paced but doable. Dr. Holman is very caring and responsive. Would definitely take her again :)

I really liked JUS 204. I took that this summer 2019 and I'll be taking her twice in the fall for JUS 374 and JUS 329. Her classes are super interesting so you'll want to learn and do the reading. Only thing I don't like and that I've never come across before (senior year) is you can't change test answers after you've entered them.

Dr. Holman is an understanding professor. She doesnt like busy work and she doesnt really believe in tests. Theres a hefty amount of reading in this class. There is an essay or a discussion board to complete at the end of a module and a quiz. She would extend deadlines for anyone that truly needed one and is kind to her students.

Good teacher.

Holman is a good professor, but there is a lot of reading and hw due every 2 weeks.

Professor Holman was amazing! Her JUS 374 class was great, but emotional because learning about the Holocaust and other genocides is never a happy subject, but it was inspirational and makes you think. She makes sure you take time out for yourself mentally. Her feedback was helpful. Lectures were great, need to view them for tests/quizzes to pass

Dr. Holman is very proficient in the teachings and clearly cares. But get ready for a lot of work. For an upper division course, I found this to be more difficult than any other ones I have taken. Almost every week we had to read at least 2 chapters, watch a movie, take a test, write a db post and reply, and watch required lectures and video clips.

Prof gives extra credit opportunities both in & out of class. Workload is medium, just because theres constant reading & time consuming assignments. Lectures were very informative. I really enjoyed the professors helpfulness and dedication. Only problems were occasional technology confusion.

Dr. Holman was a pleasure to take this class. I really appreciate her acknowledging that the subject matter was heavy, and she was willing to work with us on difficult weeks. I learned quite a bit, and she offers study abroad to increase your knowledge.

Dr. H was very informative, she is lenient to an extent so make sure you are reading and asking questions. She is accommodating and changed due dates because as a class we were a little confused. Offers extra credit, for an upper division class you really get the workload you would expect. Nothing too crazy, I would definitely take again.

Random credit for attending classes, but if you attend you will have a perfect score. Great teacher, responds immediately, is compassionate for personal issues, is a bit of a slow grader, and has lots of personal connections through class lectures. Great teacher and I will take her again!

Prof Holman is an engaging instructor. The workload is manageable if you stay on top of the readings and assignments. Unstuck study was a huge help for study prep. Would take again.

She's a great professor, very understanding and fair. As far as the work its is manageable nothing too difficult just read and you're good. She gives random EC for attendance and isn't boring during class.

Professor Holman is an excellent instructor who covers fascinating topics about the minds of serial killers. She's kind and articulate, and I would gladly retake her class. However, be aware that she doesn't accept late assignments—no exceptions—so it's crucial to respect deadlines and plan accordingly. Don't fall behind!

Dr H is a great professor. She is really kind and understanding as long as you communicate any issues you have inside out of class. The course is based on discussions/lectures, and for the homework, I would say it is an easy A. Just put in the effort and read the material; it's a JUS class, so nothing out of the ordinary.
