RGST158C . Holdrege B A 6 Years Ago

She talk slow and has a script for her lectures which are boring and longs. She cares about the students which is nice and offers a review session for both the final and the midterm which are both take home and gives you all the answers if you put in some work. The class is easy but boring. Also doenst post slides just makes you buy a reader for it

RGST158C . Holdrege B A 11 Years Ago

Not a bad class but not a good class, I thought it would be a lot more interesting. She speaks in a lot of Sanskrit so its hard to follow. I didnt read the book at all and it cost like $60. The take-home midterm/final is 2 essays, one normal and one with dialogue, but they're easy to BS. I have no idea what i learned in that class.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. She is very knowledgeable in this field, but she is not very clear when teaching. This class is not an easy A. Her class doesn't even cover basic GE's. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. It is extremely hard and not as interesting as you originally would think it would be. The midterm and final are long take home essays that are hard to understand. Do not take unless you absolutely have to.

If you are serious about religious studies and love to learn... I recommend Holdrege! She is very intelligent and dedicated to her students. I previously had RS19 & 145 w/ her & am now in her 158C course. What she teaches is deep and meaningful... so work hard and her classes might change your life! :)

I took several classes with holdrege about 30 years ago. To this day, I find her material to be not only fascinating but life changing. Religious studies was my major so I can understand why others might not see the beauty in it but learn it anyway. The mastery she has in such a obscure area will make you a hit at cocktail parties down the road.
