Very good teaching skills
Dr. Holman is a credit to Kingsborough she makes her subject both interesting and exciting. A provactive approach to teaching that would keep you awake and coming back for more. She doesn't just teach she draws out your hidden potential. :)
great teacher. even though i took her last year, she still asks me how im doing and how im doin in my classes.
Even tho she may be a bit too politically correct and wholesome at times,she is still an excellent english teacher and a credit to an otherwise mediocre 2 year school
An excellent teacher. All I can say is that you have to take her class.
She pretends to be really nice, but watch out.
This professor is very phoney, pretends to be really nice,but will give you a lower grade than you deserve. However, she puts a lot of remarks on your paper,which helps to improve one's writing a lot. The novels she picks are interesting, but her teaching strategies can be boring. She's mediocre(OK)
She is great professor. Her classes well organised. And she really helps to improve your English skills.Take this profesor!!!!!!!!
No Comments
Excellent Professor!! Class was enjoyable. If you do what you are supposed to you will get an A. Writes alot of helpful comments and allows you to hand in a first draft before your finished papers. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!!
Please take this Professor. I learned so much from her. Her class is one of the most organized class I have taken. She is very smart and understanding, her startegies are the best and her classes are very interesting. The best experience i Had a Kingsborough so far.
I LOVE HER
she is very smart, professional, respectful of her students and helpful. She makes you want to learn and helps you along the way. I believe she is one of the best professors in Kingsborough, Please take her class you won't regret it.
Im at another school, and still speak of Professor Holman, such a lovely and beautiful person....TAKE HER CLASS....YOU WILL BE HAPPY AFTERWARDS!!!
DON'T TAKE HER CLASS! She was a good teacher as far as academics, but a horrible human being. She promised to work with me on attendence after a bout with pneumonia, but then accused me of plagiarism and after being proven wrong, she suddenly reneged, letting her pride take over, and failed me, despite my being an A student. I filed a complaint.
very smart, professional, respectful of her students and helpful. I LOVE HER CLASS BEST CLASS i ever taken , Take her class and you won't be sorry.

I learned so much from her . Best class I taken so far .
Prof. Holman is a credit to Kingsborough she makes her subject both interesting and exciting. Best Prof i had so far.
I love her
FROM 1-10 shes a 10+ , A+ Great Professor.
easy class , just make sure you do the work :)
I did all her work and she gave me B`s on everything, even though i had worked so hard. She gave me a B even though i did all her work, read the book, and aced her quizes. She makes you write every day in class, summaries and paragraphs about your class work. If she doesnt like you your not getting an A. So start sucking up!!!
she is a really good PROF. the person who wrote a comment under me is just pathetic.. PROF Holman is one of the best . her class is fun and i learn a lot from her. how can u get mad for getting a B dude?
KingsBorough is lucky to have Prof Holman Linda . i loved being in her class. THE KITE RUNNER WAS A REALLY GOOD BOOK..PS this dude is soo funny .. he's pissed for getting a B? if you got B's on all the work, why would u hope for an A? she grade Fair . unlik other prfo so u the one whoo needs to suck it up like u said . lol
An amazing professor. I wish that all of my profs had been like her. She's one in a million. She was always knowledgeable, respectful, and kind. I agree that she grades fair. Moreover, she all time told us if we did not like a final grade, we could rewrite an essay, and she would give us new one. So, this is just your fault, that you got B, dude
Treats every student with courtesy and respect. she's a really friendly professor who doesn't want to see any of her students fail. she definitely knows how to teach her class and will do her best to help the students in anyway she can. The best professor i have experienced through out my college years.
she is the best. take her
she given me an A+ so i grade her an A+ lol
This professor is amazing and the best. She is a sweet, kind and beautiful person who treats every student with respect. She is always well organized and prepared for the class. She knows her job very well. Prof. Holman grades her students very fair. I would recommend taking this professor. She is awesome.I wish all my teachers were like her.
She is a very kind pearson, and very respectful to students. It is not an easy class, and you have to work hard, in order to get an A. But, if you do your homework and participate in class, then you will be fine. However, the attendance is very improtant: if u miss more than 4 classes, then she will advise you to drop a class, or u will get a WU.
She is an excellent professor.Very understanding and Interesting.This prof. is down to earth and understand her students.The class was overall easy.Attendance is necessary.She blends her classwork with current events and stuff.She is never rude and takes all questions.
Very good professor. Very potically correct. However she grades very strongly and nothings ever good enough for her. I deserved an A
great professor. however, she is **** against you if you are white (she is of African American Decent) She does not grade fairly. Nice Lady. But overall she does not give A's. If that's ok with you, take her class
DON'T TAKE HER CLASS if you are white and from Russia. Very hard grader. A lot of work. Attendance is very important, NO EXCUSE accept, if u miss more than 4 classes, then she will advise you to drop a class, or u will get a WU.But she is very organized.
she grades really hard and is very critical on everything you write.DONT Take HER
Don't listen to previous comments made about, Prof. Holman. She is probably one of the best professors in KBCC. Yes, she's a hard grader but she only does it to push you to make better work. She's actually INCREDIBLY sweet & helpful to everyone! I would defiantly recommend taking her class!!!
i luv her in general, but she is really hard when grading essay especially punctuation!thats only cuz she want us to be good at writing. the immortal life of Henrietta lacks was given 4 free so we just hand to buy the Easywriter by Andrea lunsford. i think im a good writer but my final grade was an A-...no exams,3 essays back 2 back. shes nice.
Professor Holman, is not easy cookie she gives a lot of writing and reading assignments. She does a lot from the textbook so if you take her class buy the book. Don't miss too many of her classes or you will get a wu. She is nice woman and she not r***** like people are saying she is. She will make u a better writer.
She is a nice woman, her class is clear and helpful, a lot of class group work, you need to attend her class most of the time. She really gives you help in writting
Lovely teacher. She is helpful and caring. And I definitely improved my writing thanks to her.
She is a very hard grader. Doesn't explain exactly what she wants on her papers. She criticizes everything you write including your opinion. Her lessons are extremely boring and the book she makes you read is terrible. DO NOT take her or if you get her drop the class. She won't help you at all.
Prof. Holman is a great instructor for freshmen English 1. She gives amazing feedback on writing assignments, she makes topics so interesting and engaging and encourages the use of out-of class materials! I wish she was teaching English 24! As a writer in her class I grew!
Lovely individual, I love professor Holman. She's really nice, caring and she grades fairly. You get what you deserve. Love her passion for emglish and making sure her students actually learn. Despite what others say, she's a great english professor. Love her smile.
Tough grader! Doesn't know what she wants! Detail oriented! Boring textbook
This has to me the best English Professor ever. She not an easy grade but you differently love this class. Class discussions were the best and you learn so much, she is flexible and willing to work with you in and out of class. She is an amazing woman and even teachers you to think a way you never have thought.
she's a nice professor, you will enjoy her class. You need to work hard in the class in order for you to get that grade you deserve.
Amazing instructor!!
She is a very sweet and kind professor. However, she is tough grader so make you do well on all assignments. And her lectures can be a little boring but she teaches valuable information which you will need in the future.
AWESOME She is literally the best professor I ever have had in my life.
I love her so much!!!!!!
I recommend for everyone who has issues with grammars
Great professor. I would take her class again. Good book - The Smartest Kids in the World, and How They Got That Way. 3 papers. Noticed a big difference in my personal development using her feedback and lectures. Very kind, and will go out of her way to help you if you need.
Linda Holman is my best professor. she is demanding but encouraging. I learned a lot from her. Because of her now I am able to write good papers. I am an expert with MLA standards because of her.
Professor Linda Holman, I took her English 93. She's very kind and sweet . She care about her students. When I passed my CATW i will take her English 12/24 .
Professor Holman is very kind, you will need the text book and will need to read it. She will give a couple surprise quizzes on the chapters to make sure your reading. 2 essays and 1 research paper. I got an A- and she recommended me for english honors. I definitely seen improvement in my writing skills throughout the semester. Take her!
Great professor! She makes you write a lot of essays but thats because she really cares and wants you to practice to be able to pass the CATW. She is very kind and respectful. She really loves what she does and really cares about her students. She may give assignments but just do them and shell help you pass. TAKE THE CLASS WITH HER!!!!
I love love love professor holman I took her class back in spring 2015. She is an amazing professor with a sweet spirit and she is very caring. She's a tough grader you will have to work very hard in this class if you want to pass. She gives excellent feedback. i really enjoyed this class.
The best English professor! Her lasses aren't interesting and you will actually learn a lot and improve your writing skills. Definitely recommend!
She cares a lot if you do not understand something she would explain again I would recommend you to take her class
excellent prof
I LOVE HER! Holman gives such great feedback on essays, she comes off with a little sarcasm. But she just wants you to improve on your essays throughout the sem. She's really not a tough grader though. Just show that you want to pass the class and you will. I'D SO TAKE HER CLASS AGAIN THOUGH!
the best prof ever, english is my second language and i did amazing. she is super caring. take her you wont regret it.
She a great teacher and she want all of her students to get better
She is a great professor, she will show you care and she will help you as much as possible. Just be always on time with your assignments and you will be fine. She really loves her job, and she will transmit that to you, which makes the class easier for you. :)
Professor Holman the best! She gives you helpful feedback to your papers. My advice is to follow them and you will be good. I will miss her.
I had no idea what an essay was before. After taking her 92 class I became 1 of the top 3 or 4 good students in the class. She's very motivating and caring. In the end of the class I felt that I accomplished a lot. This is why I sing "started from the bottom now we here" by drake.
Professor Holman is the best English professor in kbcc hands down. tips of passing her class, do your work hand it in an revise your essay whenever she gives it back to you, drafts is essential for your portfolio. best wishes to you an my favorite professor...
horrible professor
Great Professor! Will work with you on essays, papers and truly makes the class enjoyable!
I love her, she is an amazing professor. Just show that you work hard and you will get a good grade. FYI, I took 2 classes from her and got A+ in both of them. if you really want to improve your writing skill, take her and you won't regret.
She truly has an Amazing personality, uses Blackboard, is caring and gives helpful feedback, I took her in Fall 2018 for English 12, and still wanna take her again!!! One of the bests in kbcc. Without her, I would never develop my English so much.
I learned a lot with her, she is amazing professor, she cares about her students, always answer your emails. For me is one of the best professors in KBCC, I wish I can take car for my ENG12 but I need to take the class in summer otherwise I def will take her as my ENG12 professor.
she very nice, give good feedback on essay, and lot of reading.
Wonderful professor, who cares about her students. She tries to teach everyone things that she knows by herself. Very interesting material and lectures. Needs to read a book! Some quizzes pops up. But not hard, once you're read you are good to go.!
Prof. Holman is very caring. Don't be afraid to ask her questions of any kind. Would take her over and over if I could!
Professor Linda Holman is one of the best and kindest Professor Ive ever come across. Shes willing to help you whenever youre confused and she makes so much effort to make you pass the course as long as you do as she says, on the essaysyou good! Shes so loving. TAKE her! And pass with flying colors. Nah really God bless her!������
Linda Holman is one of the best professors in Kingsborough. Shes patient and caring, she really wants you to learn and she will help you with whatever you need. She is kind and nice I highly recommend her.
In 1985, I was on 67 days of terminal leave from the Marine Corps, as I sat in her class for the first time. Dr. Holman was about age 24. I was a 9th grade dropout with a GED. She was stunning. I was in love. She walked in one day with an engagement ring on her finger and broke my heart. I retired from teaching from the DOE last year. Thanks Doc!
Don't be afraid to take professor Holman because she cares about her students. Keep in mind English-12 is a portfolio class. Therefore, other professors will read your papers at the end of the semester, and you will have plenty of time to revise your papers and make them ready to pass. Three papers total (25% for each) + Discussion board 25%
Professor has an attitude against her students. Overall not a bad professor, but she never helped to improve your mistakes. She just wants you to understand your mistakes yourself. So basically she is focused on student self education process and will not help you or give a support to better understand material. i would not take her again
ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT DON'T Trust the review under me; it's a completely false statement about professor Holman. She gives you feedback to improve your paper. The online class was amazing, and she did everything to make us feel comfortable. 10/10 would take her if I had a chance.
bad teacher, hard to understand, made the folder confused. she put all in one slide each week.
Holy cow this class is so hard, if you want to pass this class I wont recommend this teacher
I would recommend it but not, if you want to have a high grade I wont recommend it
Talking so nice but hard to pass,not recommend Horrible proffesor
She gives good feedback for you papers for the things that you need to improve on but she is defintely a very though grader.
She truly has an Amazing personality like pretending to be good but it's terrible person,she is very tough grader. One of the bests in kbcc if you want to fail the class. With her, I would never develop my English. I took her class in fall 2020.
she is defintely a very though grader.
be afraid to take professor Holman, very tough grader and terrible
Aside from the enormous amount of information she floods the students with, her layout is horrible. Also, the entire course was based on 3 papers so good luck. also, she is very strict in grading the work. Overall very difficult class, non-motivating, and because of that, I failed. DO NOT TAKE
Hardest class ever, she doesn't even submit your grades until the course is over so you don't even know your progress, but you will most likely get an F because this class is the worst class ever, save yourself the time.
Don't hesitate!!! Prof. Holman is absolutely wonderful!!! I drop out of school for six years, she is the one who gives me the courage to keep going... The weekly assignment is fun to do, the discussion board is thought-provoking!!!
I think prof Holman is great !! The weekly assignments were clear. However, she does not grade throughout the course but she does grade and comment on the research papers. The comments were always clear and encouraging and I think thats what pushed my writing to get better and better. Highly recommend if you want to learn how to write.
Hardest class ever, she doesn't even submit your grades until the course is over so you don't even know your progress, but you will most likely get an F because this class is the worst class ever, won't recommend this professor. wasted my time.
She is a very nice professor and cares a lot about her students. Although the class is long you learn a lot. She pushes you to get the work done and does not call you out when you fail to complete your work. She is always open to communicating with you if you have any concerns or problems.
The best professor. Thanks Mrs. Holman!
I would like to recommend to take this professor. I have learned a lot from her.
Professor Holman runs a tough but rewarding class. The workload is heavy, but her feedback helps you improve. I found unstuckstudy and the provided textbook invaluable for study prep. Overall, a challenging yet enriching experience.
I've told Ms Holman I needed help to the point where I've begged for extra help in English learning how to write something simple as an Essay her exact words were I'm giving you 2 weeks to figure it out, I told her I literally just need a one on one student teacher to learn to write these papers she said ,”not my problem”
