Sharifah Holder HLTH306 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/19/2025	Dr. Holder is great. The class is outlined very well, and doesn't require you to do much outside of class. She wants all her students to succeed, and does her best in class to make sure she is energized and engaging. The workload is manageable, just be ready to engage in small discussions with your peers A LOT. I would highly recommend Dr. Holder!! I would take another class with her if I could. She's the best.
Sharifah Holder HLTH306 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/15/2025	My favorite professor throughout my time at UMD. Dr. Holder truly cares about each of her students and brings energy and kindness to class each day. This course is simple and valuable, with lots of interesting info and group work. Highly recommended.
Zahra Saboori HLTH306 Anonymous 12/18/2023	The tests in theory should be easy since a lot of the content is common sense and everything we have learned in the major so far, however, she words them weirdly and they contain a lot of formatting mistakes making them harder than they need to be. The course is not structured well and the recorded lectures were very boring, I feel like all the learning I did was outside of class instead of inside. This is true for the assignments as well, not many seemed directly relevant to what we learned but rather personal projects we must do unrelated to the class. Additionally, the professor herself can be a little unfair in terms of grading and condescending/showing blatant favoritism.

The material itself is very interesting but she does not present it in a particularly engaging way and the extra material we have is not that necessary to understanding the content. We have final exams and midterms which were relatively easy, but due to the nature of this class (which is very discussion-heavy), I feel like a final essay might be more appropriate format.
