She is new, so I guess she is learning how to teach. So far so good. Let's see what happens next...

She's a new teacher and really pretty for my guys!!!! chemistry isn't a easy subject but with her help its a breeze. Well organized and very friendly!!! She uses Powerpoints so really no book is needed..

She's really nice and very helpful. Read the book as well as her ppt. and you'll do fine. Also do the ex. problems from the back of the book that helps. Her Exams are not that hard but you do need to study as well as undestand the concept...She's very sweet.

For all of you who are saying the professor is the worst and impossible to learn from, you obviously didn't study. I took Professor Holness over a 6 week period las semester and she is one of the best professors I've had in my entire educational experience. I got a high A in her class and it isn't hard to do if you just study.

Ok, for the person who wrote about cheating that was in the same class I was in over summer. It is probably you who was cheating! She never made anyone move seats until that one girl cheated so that is a false accusation. Also, learn how to spell and speak correctly if you are going to write something bad about professor Holness. She's GREAT!!

Knows her stuff! Incredibly smart, very easy to talk to. I hated Chem before taking her class, and she made me love it. If you plan on cheating your way thru the class, pick another professor. She has zero tolerance for nonsense, so act decent and STUDY and you'll get the grade you deserve!

love, love, LOVE this professor. I had SO much confidence leaving this course when I had NONE going into it. Study the powerpoints like it's your job, ask questions when you don't understand (or else you'll fall behind), and for goodness sakes, SHOW UP FOR CLASS! Everyday after class, go home and review for an hour. You will thank me.

GOOD TEACHER, SHE IS YOUNG AND SHE WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORK... LIKE REALLY

She is amazing, she is very funny and remembers everyone's names she is concerned about her students and stops any time in the class to explain again,, very recomended

She is THE best chem professor to have. Not only is she helpful, encouraging, and has the ability to relate to her students, she is also a teacher and a mentor. You just have to go to her. If you don't get an A, it is your fault. Just be sure to read your chapters, reach are easy to understand.

She is absolutely AMAZING. I had her for chemistry. She's very concerned with your progress. She makes the powerpoints available to you and even gives a study guide for every exam. I did use the book to review and do additional practice problems and I received an A in the class. I would def. recommend her!

she does try to explain things but i guess she is still too new, overall not bad if you study at least 2hr a week.

best chem teacher ever. her powerpoints are very clear and her exams are very fair.she encorages you to think outside of the box. great experience.

She is new&young,she is willing to help, I got an A,and these are my suggestions to get an A,1study the book 2pay attention to what she says(notes) 3READ AND DO THE REVIEWS!her exams are exactly like the reviews but she might flip the questions .so read the topics of the review questions.take 50min cls,(multiplechoice-25),gives extracredit in HW).

I took her for 1025, 1045 &1045L, my experience in all of the classes was positive. To do well on her tests you must read the textbook and practice on your own time. She's always willing to help during office hours; she tries to show you that hard work pays off. I found the lab a bit more difficult but I definetely learned a lot! Highly reccomended

I took her for a 6 week summer course and she made the class interesting. It's not hard, all you have to do is study and you should get a B or higher in her class.

Very helpful, gives tests and quizzes. Boring class, though I've yet to attend an exciting chemistry class. She's not hard, the word needs your attentiveness in class.

This is coming from a student who got an A in her class: Prior to attending this class, students told me I would get an F because she's a horrible teacher. This proved to be NOT TRUE! She's one of the best Professors! If you have any questions she is willing to help during office hours and has test reviews that really help. Always read before class

She may intimidate u at first,but as u go along u'll see that she's very nice person.It's a lab,u have to attend each day and turn prlab, report and post-lab, no-late report are accepted.You need to read the lab prior attending, for you'll be quizzed.No midterm, only an easy final.It's an esy class since you're learning by doing things by yourself

Awesome Professor. Very helpful and nice. The class is okay in terms of difficulty. It's a college level course. The material may be hard, but she explains very good and easy.

awesome professor

Awesome Professor. She is very nice and sweet. Even though this class is hard, she tries to help us out. Each test we got extra credit. Towards the end of the semester she gives out another extra credit, she really wants to see us pass. She explains very good and her tests are ok. 4 tests & 1 final, the final is acs and she doesn't write it.

Best professor ever!!! She uses powerpoints as her way of teaching. Buying the book is optional since everything, literally EVERYTHING is on her powerpoints. She loves teaching and is very knowledgeable. I passed her class with flying colors.

Great professor, she's really helpful and wants you to pass. However you have to work for your grade. If you study and practice from her power points you will do fine. You really don't need the book, but you do need the mastering chemistry for the HW.

Shes nice. But this class is very hard you have to study very hard to pass her test.I failed each test, had to change my major that's how hard this class is. So be prepared

This class was extremely fast paced. There is no time to actually learn the material. The objective of this class is to get you to pass the ACS, not to teach you chemistry. There is A LOT! of memorization. Most students failed. Only about 10 did okay.

She is FAIR. After all it is chemistry and if you know you have a problem in that area just study and you'll pass her class. She's an experienced teacher and she provides you with all the material you will need. She does rush a bit toward the end of the course but that's the easiest part of the course as long as you have the first half down packed.

Professor Hudson-Holness is very clear with her lectures and is willing to help you if you're stuck. Chemistry requires time and effort and I guarantee you that she cares enough to help you as an individual or class as a whole. Her tests and homework are crucial, but the best part is that she provides study guides which really helped me to pass.

I loved her, two exams and 3 test. if you really study the powerpoints you will pass. her lectures are the powerpoint so take notes and pay attention. use her office hours, she always says those who use them are usually the ones that get an A. after the withdraw period the class will shrink. but still i got an A.

She expects you to know everything before entering class. Teaches mainly from ppt. Three exams and hw from MasteringChemistry. If you take her, be prepared to study . Tells students to drop her class if they're doing bad. Final is ACS Exam (70 q, 110 mins). Buy the recommened ACS handbook! Not impossible to get an A, but you REALLY have to work!!!

She is tough but if you give this subject your all, she will acknowledge you. She's not very strict on attendance but if you never show up to lectures, you'll most likely fail. If you study hard, you'll get an A. Chemistry is life basically. lol

She is a great professor ! She explains as much as she can with the time she has available if she sees that the class isn't doing so well as a whole she'll change her teaching style. She doesn't give h.w or study guides but she gives out a lot of handouts that can really help understand the subject and on blackboard gives her previous test to study

She's a very very good professor but don't take it for granted. You'll have to work hard to pass the class. She explains every topic really good, making you understand and she helps you if you need it during her office hours. She makes you UNDERSTAND HOW Chemistry WORKS. If you're a good student who fights and tries to get good grades, take her.

I am currently taking her class she is very thorough in her teaching and she cares about her students. Every class is a load of important information and she breaks it piece by piece and delivers her knowledge well she also changed her teaching style for our class if your interested in learning chem and you are a no excuse type person take her.

Get ready for this class or you wouldn't pass

Nope wrong choice just click the back button she's good but not great no review packets no chances.

Will definitely take her for my CHM 1045! Her class is tough, and she would make you do a lot of work(if you want to pass with A or B). I got C on my first test, B on my 2nd test, and A on the 3rd test. her exam is easy, you just have to practice the problems a lot. Ask her everything, she will definitely help you :)

Chemistry itself is hard. Never liked this class but professor Hudson knows how to teach this class.

Unique

Holness is an amazing professor but you got to put in the work for the grade. Be ready to read and breath chemistry for the whole semester.

This professor is honestly amazing. She is so caring and explains well. However chemistry, is difficult. It is not easy at all to pass this course. It requires a lot of practice and studying. Sometimes, not even that is enough. I wish she provided homework or extra credit to help your grade, but it's college. I'm sure a university is tougher.

She is such a great teacher and will help you whenever you need it. I took her six week course so it was very fast paced and required a lot ( A LOT) of studying! Honestly it's a chemistry class so studying is mandatory. There are only four tests so make sure you're on top of your notes. She also gave two extra credits that really helped.

Professor Holness knows what shes teaching and is very clear. Explains lessons thoroughly and if there is something you dont understand she is very helpful in helping you understand the material. ask questions and STUDYY!!

Dr. Holness is honestly my only choice as a professor for chemistry,. She teaches clearly and actually cares if you understood. she will always be available to explain anything after class and during office hours. of course this is chemistry, if you don't study and do your work at home, you will fail

Holness is an amazing teacher. She is sarcastic and sometimes funny, but also very intimidating. You have to study a lot to pass her class. Also, tutoring helps if you need it.

Even tough I failed her class I have to tell the truth and she a really good professor, if you really want to learn I suggest you to take her, just if you are chem or bio major if you are not do not take her is going to be hard for you.

Shes a good teacher, its just mostly independent work. No extra credit, and 3 tests and a final by the American Chemical Society

She's one of the best professor's i've ever had. Her lectures are very clear and she explains and helps as much as she's supposed to and more. She's always accessible during her office hours and has extra learning assistants to help her students. You have read her powerpoint and do the worksheets she hands out. Everything she hands out is helpful.

Best chemistry professor at Dade. She truly cares about students learning. Very accessible. She knows her chemistry and very clear on different topics. Get ready to study though and do the work on your part.

Her lectures are very clear, but to really succeed in her class you need to study a lot at home and try to understand the concepts very well because most likely she will quiz you on it. fair grading too.

Best teacher I have ever had that makes you work hard for your grade. By the end of the course, you will be very knowledgable in chemistry.

One of the best chemistry professor at Miami Dade. This class isnt easy so if you dont expect to read and put in your part then do not enroll in her class

Excellent prof! Granted, I'm biased because math/science comes easy to me. Best way to pass this class is to pay attention in class and take notes as she break concepts and formulas down in layman's terms. If you need help, ask her on the spot before she continues and she'll give you some practice questions. Bootcamps also available.

She acquires a lot of knowledge, thus knows what's she's teaching. She likes students to ask questions, even if they're cynical or repetitive. She provides students with many handouts and past exams to prepare for the exams. You MUST study and take advantage of the resources she gives you or you will not succeed in the class.

This course was really hard because there were a lot of memorizing formulas and all, and a lot of theory. However, she was extremely nice, gave tons of practice, recorded each class, and was there for office hours. I took this class online (COVID), but I think I would have gotten a lower grade it if it was in person. Just pay attention in class.

Great teacher, caring, and loves when students ask question. You will be expected to read outside of class. A quiz after each chapter and after 3-4 chapters you have an exam. NO EXTRA CREDIT or homework. She is very knowledgeable and responds to any email rather quickly. Every assignment is done with lockdown browser. Remember to read and study.

Dr. Holness is truly a great teacher, but not an easy one. You will most definitely have to work for your A. Her class requires a lot of reading and in-depth knowledge about the subject (which she will teach you). Be ready to do many practice chem problems. She is extremely knowledgeable on her subjects.

After reading the atrocious reviews about Dr. Holness's lectures, I've had an obligation to give my own. If not interested in learning/understanding chemistry do not take her class. Do yourself a favor and go with a professor who doesn't care about you becoming a "Qualified Professional". Now, if you want to learn TAKE HER! Thank you, Dr. Holness.

Dr. Holness was detailed, precise and patient throughout the lectures and course. The material and coursework was structured so there were never any surprises. She was accessible outside of class. She also made lecture topics relatable so it was easy to comprehend! One of the best professors I've ever had. Definitely would recommend.

Dr Holness is a caring but tough professor. Chemistry is hard as it is, but she cares for her students and tries to engage with the class. She provides worksheets in class that help you study for tests. Grades are based on participation assignments, hws, 4 tests, and a final. The tests were on paper, and the final was done in a computer lab.

very caring and thorough professor, could have gotten a higher grade if I applied myself more. Those who put in the effort required will excel in this class with no problem. Very good at explaining and she gives u everything u need to succeed. Provides countless worksheets and packets for extra practice but it is up to u if u decide to use them.

Professor Holness is the BEST chem professor for Intro and Chem one. Whatever she teaches is on the test and thats it. She is knowledgeable and as long as you study you will pass with flying colors. She is AMAZING at teaching you will understand everything. I reccomend this class if you wanna learn its great.

She is an amazing professor! She explains well and goes through many problems from the textbook and worksheets she gives. She will give you multiple tries on the homework if needed and is super understanding. Her tests were fair, just study what she taught. If you actually want to learn, this is the class for you

Had Holness for both Intro and 1045 and she's just unmatched in quality. Her tests are very fair (if you study youll do well) but chemistry itself is difficult. She's always available out of class and gives plenty of opportunities for you to end with a nice grade. If she were to teach Gen 2 I'd absolutely take it but I dont need it. 10/10 recommend

She's awesome! She takes time to explain each concept & remembers every student. There are participation assignments & homework for every chapter. 4 quizzes covering 3 chapters each. no mid-term exam but there is a final exam. Just pay attention and you'll have no problem with the quizzes/exams. Offers extra credit worth 3%. Would take her again!

Sends reminders of due homework on weekends/weekdays way past work hours !:) Weekly homework and in-class procedures(not graded) keep you in check of the curriculum, you can struggle but you will never be lost. The hw. and prac. questions are 50x harder than the exams. But you can't google the amount of oxygens in nitrate so it evens out.

By far the best teacher I have had at MDC, Attendance isn't mandatory but you don't want to miss class otherwise you miss a lot. She is a PowerPoint teacher, but she actually explains the topic and gives examples rather than monotonously reads the PowerPoint. Very caring and don't listen to the bad reviews because half of them are just repeat spam.

Dr. Holness is amazing, I believe she is the best to take for chemistry and her lectures are great even though the tests are tough, she is caring and kind. She will work with you and provides extra credit. A class you definitely want to take if you are a STEM major as you actually learn and it will pay off, you will get GOOD at chemistry.

I really don't understand why she's getting all of these negative reviews. I'm a DE student and I loved Professor Holness. Pay attention to the lectures and you'll be fine. 4 exams, 12 Participation assignments, homework on Pearson, 1 final, no midterm. Loved her class and will be taking again in CHM1045. Don't listen to the bad reviews!!

Dr. Holness is an amazing professor! The curriculum involves participation assignments, homework, four tests, and a final, but she offers opportunities for extra credit. She is kind, knowledgeable, and open to any questions. I would love to take her again!

The professor is generally helpful, but her exams can be quite challenging. Studying the textbook and attending class are crucial. unstuck ai proved to be a valuable study tool alongside other resources like practice problems.

Dr. Holness was a great professor. She knew chemistry and demonstrated her knowledge through her PowerPoints. If you pay attention, take notes on her PowerPoints, and review the notes throughout the semester, you'll pass. She has four tests and one final, all multiple-choice. She offers many resources for you to practice and prepare for your tests.

She knows the material well and she is very kind. Dont expect a good grade if you dont study. Exams are difficult but if you study you'll do fine. She offers 2 extra credit and there is not a lot of homework. Although you dont get graded for attendance if you dont show you will not pass. Overall she is a great professor and I definitely recommend.

Loved Prof Holness's class. I seriously dont understand why her reviews are so bad considering how good her class is. 1 homework assignment per unit (10), 13 participation assignments, 4 tests and a final + extra credit (3% on final grade). She does use powerpoints but its so fun because she knows what shes talking about can helps us out. Take her!

Dr. Holness is the professor who made me enjoy chemistry for the first time. She answers every question, no matter how ridiculous it may be, and was extremely helpful whenever a student had trouble with a concept. There was plenty of extra credit offered, and the final grade was curved. Fair warning though, you may need to read the textbook.

Don't take her class if your not going to put effort, Amazing teacher with an even more amazing personality. Treats her students professionally but also almost like she's your mother. She cares for everyone equally and offers every opportunity to raise your grade, but the tests are hard. But this is chemistry, eventually u gotta suck it up.

Dr. Holness was very sweet and very knowledgable in her subject. I studied constantly and she was very helpful but I wasnt passing her exams. Unfortunately I had to drop because I knew I was going to fail the class. Theres nothing wrong with Dr. Holness but there is a lot of homework and you have to understand a lot.
