Comment:

I couldn't read his writing AT ALL... I spent most of the class trying to deciphur it. The notes he hands out are scattered and not organized...he's all over the place. At least there are SLGs and help sessions you can go to.

Comment:

this guy has absolutley no idea how ANY piece of technology works. One day in class he phoned someone to get help with the overhead projector...not only did he yell into the phone as well as the microphone, the problem was fixed when a student got up to flick the switch that Holt had unflicked. If you have to take stats do not take it with this man

Comment:

He is always so excited about the subject which is great. The assignments are also good to keep you on top of your work. Unfortunately, it is stats, so it's pretty boring but the text is great a great resource when you're too lazy to go to class.

Comment:

This guy is never prepared, he makes mistakes constantly, his writing is illegible, his notes are useless and he's constantly being corrected by the class. I'm sure he knows this stuff himself but he's one of those teachers who has no clue how to get it across.

You will find it hard to pay attention to him in class, because you will be too busy deciphering the illegible notes he just wrote on the overhead. He explains topics and concepts well though.

Terrible prof. He was inaudible, his writing was illegible and his notes made no sense. He made the course harder than the material was. I hate stats because of him and his terrible teaching!
