From the first day of biology class, at first I thought he was serious. He is going to jump right in with his first class and sets the tone. After the professor seemed to read Alice’s mind and said “If you experience any difficulties, do not hesitate to come to my office and I will do my best to help you” I thought he was a nice man. The professor was not only accommodating and helpful but he was also willing to help students in their question for enlightenment and knowledge.
What I am impressed of Professor Holmes is how he conducted the lesson. He used the question to get students interested in the lesson and students participate in class. But I dislike about his provide administrative information because he does not has the syllabus for his students and does not present an overview of the subject for semester. I thought if he go through his syllabus with his students and present an overview of the subject for semester, students will know about what they are learning, list of textbooks and other required reading. It makes students ready to learn better. And he should be calm and conscious that students understand or not. It gives his students the courage to ask when they do not understand and make his teaching more effective teaching more effective.
