Hawkes Learning celebrates the privilege of working with so many fantastic professors across the country who use Hawkes in their classrooms. Recently Hawkes’ Student Ambassador, Molly Linck, had the opportunity to interview Professor Kelvin Holmes from the University of Mississippi. Learn more about Professor Holmes’ Hawkes journey below!

Professor Holmes has taught since 2013 and currently teaches at The University of Mississippi in Oxford, Mississippi. When asked what his favorite part of teaching at the university level is, Professor Holmes replied, “seeing students progress, actually learn the material, apply the material, and be able to use it as a stepping stone to the next class.”

Professor Holmes began teaching with Hawkes Learning’s mathematics materials in 2016. While the Math Department uses Hawkes’ materials in multiple classes at Ole Miss, such as Business Math and Business Calculus, Professor Holmes has taught College Algebra and Statistics courses with Hawkes.

We asked Professor Holmes what he loves about Hawkes, and he shared the following:

"My favorite thing is that Hawkes gives students so many resources when they learn and practice."

Hawkes gives students some options in the book, while the software’s Practice mode takes it a step further, giving them different options to figure out where they went wrong. “I like for my students to use the Practice mode, and I like the fact that it offers so many resources for the students. The students like Hawkes and when they compare it to other software, they tend to like Hawkes more.“
