It takes way more knowledge on a subject to explain it in a simple way, and Prof. Holloway is the perfect example of that. Her review sessions are basically "just keep me talking for 75 minutes", and she is such a wealth of knowledge that it works. She told the class that any of us would be prepared for a job in air quality and means it.

Prof. Holloway is an incredible scientist and it was a privilege to take her Air Quality class. It was definitely a difficult class and I had to work hard to pass, but I learned so much. She is extremely professional but also very supportive and invested in student success. She always answered my emails promptly.

Tracey is a genius there is no denying that. She knows the material better than arguably anyone in the world which is a good and bad thing. The class takes up A LOT of time but it is not that hard. The exams are short answer and the papers due throughout the semester require some work and a lot of research. I learned a lot, though.

Tracey was a real treat. She is one the most respected professors on campus and is brilliant, however she is terribly unorganized. That is ok though because the class is terribly easy and I will miss her ramblings as you can really learn alot from her. She also cares about energy so much, she makes you want to care too

I loved listening to Prof. Holloway lecture because she clearly cared a lot about the class. I found that the homework was a bit long and repetitive and the quiz answers conflicted with things that had been said in class sometimes. Other than that, I really liked the class. She was really positive and always willing to discuss things further.
