About this rating

Raw average: 1.00/5 from 5 quality ratings. The adjusted rating blends this with the UW review average (3.66/5), weighted as 20 additional ratings. Smaller samples stay closer to that average. Each captured review is counted once in the prior; this does not correct who chooses to leave a review.

Whatever Holly is paid is far too much. She does NOTHING but micromanage students (and clinical faculty who are way more knowledgable than her). Stop stalking us on the point :(

This professor is unorganized and waits until the last second to fix things on Canvas or otherwise. I'm sure she is busy and has lots to do, but don't teach a class if you cannot handle it then.

Holly was allegedly the professor for this course but I cannot say I ever even saw her. As a result, lectures are run by random people every week and are a ridiculous waste of everybody's afternoon. I expect better from a top 10 nursing school. Poor clinical placements to go along with this course, unsure if that's her fault though.

Would never recommend her. UW-Madison Nursing would be better off without her. Disorganized, defensive, often gives incorrect information, rude, no logical thinking, unfair are some ways to describe her teaching.

Holly basically speed runs every lecture she gives. When asked questions, she responds immediately often providing the wrong answer when she doesn't know the right one. When asking about the exam, grade won't change even when you show proof from her slides (that are often wrong) and book evidence. She doesn't explain anything when she lectures.
