Course(s) Taken: English Composition: 6W

Professor Holten is everything, and more! Honestly, any professor that takes the time out to meet with their students INDIVIDUALLY outside of the classroom deserves to be put on a pedestal. Professor Holten doesn't simply lecture and regurgitate useless information, but she ACTUALLY teaches her students and genuinely cares for each of their well beings. She is extremely down to earth amongst a sea of uptight lecturers, which shows how she truly cares about teaching and developing her students. I took 6W after haven taken another Writing II course earlier, and can definitely say I don't regret that decision. The class is extremely organized and structured, making it near impossible to not succeed. The only negative of this class would have to be the 8 am meeting time for all us sleepy students. I can't stress enough how good of a course this was, and urge other students to take this course if you want to not only learn something, but have fun while you're doing it.

Amazing professor. She really cares about your writing and getting to know you personally. I really learned how to write from her and she never made me feel pressured whenever I needed to speak up in class. I love Holten! ^_^

Course(s) Taken: Applied Linguistics and Teaching English as a Second Language: 200

Simply put, the best english teacher I have ever had in my entire life. The conferences are really effective because each student gets 30 minutes of 1:1 meeting to get feedbacks on how to improve my paper. Your grade is guaranteed if you simply listen to her directions carefully and follow it. I'm not hesitant to keep in touch with her later on because she's such a nice person and very caring.

Professor Holten is an awesome professor. She cares about your writing and helps you improve your writing at an academic level. I thought the class was useful. You're definitely going to appreciate her because she is a professor that gives you feedback through her conference. Take her class, it's an easy A.

She is a GREAT teacher! She cares about you and her conferences are definitely the most helpful things out there! After the conferences I usually have to rewrite my whole essay again, but thats because she makes everything so clear! and after that my paper became like 10 times better. So you should take her!! :)
