She is a very tough teacher but that is what LBCC lacks. She is a well coveted teacher with multiple degrees and we should be happy she's teaching at a junior college versus a UC school. She prepare her students for when they reach a university level they would be up to par. My advice is to do lots of flashcards for each chapter.

Very kind professor. Im in philosophy of LGBTQ. It is sometimes tough bc the readings have difficult vocab and concepts, but she makes it as easy as possible to understand. My class is asynchronous online so idk how she is in person but online she is extremely kind, caring, gives great feedback, and makes sure everyone feels included. Take her!

I have the pleasure of taking Dr. Hollenberg for PHIL22 as an online course. The material itself is so difficult, but she makes it 100% easier. She's not only kind, passionate, & smart, but she really wants her class to succeed. One of my favorite things about her teaching style is the chances she gives to redo assignments with her notes attached.

Professor H is super nice and great with correspondance. Phil22 isn't an easy subject but she breaks it down nicely. I think students feel encouraged like they can get through it-I know I did. I took this class online and it felt welcoming and safe at all times. Even when you get something wrong she kindly steers you towards a way to figure it out.

This is one of the best professors I've had. I was falling behind and she genuinely wants to see you succeed. She is always available if you have any questions. She is really clear on instructions and easy to understand as she will take the time to make sure you understand the material. Super caring overall!

Professor Hollenberg was fantastic. The course and class structure was conducive to learning and the pace was beneficial to students. Topics discussed was thoughtful and aligned well with the course. I highly recommend Professor Hollenberg. I respect Professors who understand that the objective in any learning environment is learning the subject.

She gives a clear structured outline of what you are gonna do. You have 9 discussions, 6 quizzes, and 2 essays. Don't worry it's extremely easy and she allows you to do discussions over if you need to. You really only have to skim through the readings for the discussions and quizzes it's all really simple.

This online class is perfect for a student interested in logic and who is willing to do the work. Keep up with all assignments and utilize Professor H's help. She encourages you to reach out and gives you the opportunity to receive credit on wrong quiz questions if you show you understand. Overall, I enjoyed the class/professor and would recommend!

I usually enjoy philosophy. This class felt so tedious. Assignments were busy-work. You read through extensive articles that feel like big words tied together with a piece of string. Never scored so low in a course & wish I'd dropped it when I had the chance. I'm stuck with this on record & it feels like a bag of bricks straight to my mental health

There are no textbooks, but you will find yourself reading excerpts of books she provides. However, the readings are so informative and interesting that you'll want to read more. Quizzes are extremely simple; there are two essays, and they are also easy. I thoroughly enjoyed taking this class!

Philosophy 10 was an interesting course. The amount of work for the 8-week course is manageable and she gave clear instructions on what was expected. No curb balls. One thing I liked about taking the class with her was that she didn't just give a grade but actually took the time to provide feedback.

Well, the class is semi-difficult because of the nature of the subject, so don't take this class if you are completely uninterested in learning how to break down the English language into logical and clear-cut ways. Otherwise, very great, kind, considerate, and flexible in classwork. She lets you fix incorrect discussions and will give.a small hint

I was in her class for two philosphy classes for spring semester. They were both online. She was a very easy teacher and I did not find her class difficult. She always gave you chances to make assignments up. In addition, she provided feedback on all works, including discussion post, displaying that she was engaging with student work as well.

PHIL 1H (LGBTQIA+) - Dr. Hollenberg provided the class with interesting and relevant articles and videos which we would then discuss in class. These discussions were a great way to learn multiple perspectives. Dr. H provides a welcoming classroom environment and encourages individual participation. She is approachable and welcomes questions.

great professor who attempts to make students feel comfortable in very serious and sensitive topics. but this class is not for the weak! if you take in person, you have you participate in discussions and sometimes it can get very personal and emotional. can be a little triggering, but definitely are topics necessary to become aware about. ty prof!

Her lectures are helpful and insightful. I had her in person, so participation did matter and was a part of the grade. She makes an effort to learn more about you and is super sweet. The assigned readings are interesting but quite lengthy. Do the readings, participate in class, and turn in your assignments, and you'll be good!

Prof. Hollenberg is an incredibly intelligent, kind, and patient professor. Because the way her class if structured, coming to class prepared and ready to discuss the readings/videos is very important. However, that isn't too difficult because the readings and video material she assigns are pretty interesting.

Dr. Hollenberg guided us kindly through the abstruse world of symbolic logic, with clear explanations and sincere effort to reach every student. She wastes no time getting into the material each class period, yet doesn't count tardies against you. Generously available for additional tutoring outside of class. Take her class--highly recommend!

Be prepared to read some heavy readings and discuss some serious topics. The readings are very long and you really have to focus in order to understand and be ready to talk about. Participation/attendance matters. Every class you will sit together and discuss the readings— she does talk a lot. You have one essay and a handful of quizzes.

Prof. Hollenberg offers a rigorous and thoughtful introduction to feminist topics. Readings can be complex. Classtime is a moderated discussion where each person speaks and Prof. H. responds and clarifies their questions/comments. It goes a little slow, but the shyer students participate and feel heard. She wants to help you understand and succeed.

Worst experience!! no prerequisites, but she sure made us start with bare minimum context to what we were learning. Fumbled my dsps accommodations for so long that i only got them confirmed when the class was half over. For a class about diversity and acceptance, kind of insane! Unclear syllabus, baffling class format, infuriating communication.

Her Grading Criteria are all over the place! Although most of the assignments and tests are easy to do, the paper she assigns is what tanks your grade, if you miss it. She does not teach! You are basically on your own with the readings provided. Also, she does not believe in extra credit!
