Comment:

If you are not a person who is confident with math and needs to take their time learning new materials, I do not recommend him. The class felt very fast. Very sarcastic but does what his students to do well however he is a tough professor. tests were difficult, HW was worth two points.. really had to go the extra mile for a decent grade.

Comment:

I would not take Dr. Holmes again. He is not understanding and very rude. He only grades off of tests and does not consider giving extra credit. When I emailed him at the end of the semster he was very inconsiderate.

I took a stats class in high school and the teacher had no idea what he was doing. I did not learn a thing. Then I took Professor Holme's class and I learned so so much. I could have gotten an A but I did not study as much for the last test. Either way, great prof and helps everyone understand the material. Taught me so much, and answers any Q's.

Very good professor. He cares about student learning. He is funny and relates statistics to real life situations which helps to learn. He gives really good feedback and isn't picky when he grades. Will take this professor again.

Attendance not mandatory but I missed one class and felt so lost. Tests are about everything covered in lecture and labeling diagrams of brain. Dry humor and makes material easy to understand. If you pay attention in class and review notes for the test you'll pass.

I failed statistics the first time and retook it with Holmes. If you're bad at math, TAKE HIM. He puts you at ease, and the way he explains difficult concepts makes the class tolerable. Plus, he's hilarious! I scraped by with a C because I'm so bad, but if you work with him, he'll help!!

Holmes is very clear with his instruction and moves at a nice slow pace so he is easy to follow along with. Makes statistics painless. Only gives 5 homework assignments right before exams to help prepare you. Great Class!!

I took him for stats and Im really glad I did. The course is not easy material but he makes it painless. As long as you pay attention in class and do the Homework's and study you can easily pass. He is good with question and makes class interesting. He does not take attendance but showing up is crucial because you cover a lot in class. Recommend!

Comment:

He is quirky, but in a fun way. He was very clear on a hard subject such as statistics. He tends to make me laugh alot. His tests are simple if you know the material, they arn't clotted with extra words. If you know the material it will show despite the lack of wordiness. But I highly reccomend him to anyone taking Statistics especially.

He is an awesome teacher. His power point slides are awesome and correspond directly with the homework. He gives you plenty of time to copy down the slides which is awesome. He is pretty funny too. DEF TAKE HIM FOR STATS.

One of my fav Professors at BSC! He knows what hes talking about and really a great teacher. Few homework assignments, few tests, no attendence policy but if you miss a class you'll be lost. Attend and you'll get an "A"

Professor Holmes definitly knows what hes talking about! He really cares to make sure you understand the material and keeps lectures interesting with quirky jokes. His tests arnt too bad as long as you study and do the homework. Attendance is very important though. So much is covered in one class, if you miss a class you'll be completely lost.

If i had taken stats for psych with any other teacher i feel like i would be lost. Prof. Holmes is the best teacher i have had at bsc. Cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Definetly take him!

I dreaded taking this class but he made it interesting. Attendance is a must. Take notes & study 1 hour minimum before each test & you'll do well! I'm glad I had him for this class but I wouldn't take him for stats bc the grade is based on tests only.

He is a great teacher! This class is very interesting and his Powerpoints are really nice. he makes them himself so they are interactive with movement so you really get the full effect. His tests weren't bad but you have to study. Don't buy the book because he will tell you to look at your notes before the book anyway. He is very helpful
