Professor Holborn was a very great professor all around. He truly cares about his students and makes an effort to get to know them. His tests are very fair.

Comment:

Not the most exciting class and annoying that you have to buy a brand new book to get an online code, but tests were easy, 10% of grade was automatically A+ if you showed up for experiments. Actually listen in class though, there were test questions about his personal life that he talks about for the first 1/2 of class, and those won't be in slides

His teaching style is great, he is older but still teaches the content appropriately! (as for the previous comments about online psych courses BEWARE OF ALL ONLINE PSYCH COURSES, they pretty much set you up for failure)

Comment:

At first I thought he was great, he allowed me to hand in an assignment late (due to some confusion). I got all the assignments done (can't go wrong if you actually do the assignment) even studied for the exam...fail! With no explanation as to how/why. I didn't study for the BMOD 1 and passed that like nothing. Don't think he knows to work a comp

He's an absolutely wonderful prof- Passionate about behaviour mod and it shows. Pay attention in class, skim your text and you'll be as good as golden. He gives bonus points on his exams!

Comment:

i can't say anything about his teaching cause i took the online class but he was terrible at instucting that. if you took bmod1 with garry martin&loved it do not take bmod2 with him.super clueless.Didn't mark assignments himself but then graded super harsh. Even when you know content&put in lots of work you can end up with bad mark easily. not fun.

GO TO CLASS. love that he always wears a blazer hahah

Comment:

My interest in this course was very low prior to the class. Attending the lectures and taking notes as well as reading the textbook can easily get you an A in the course. Sometimes he goes on about things that are not relevant. No cumulative exam at the end of the term. Tests are fair.

Decent prof. Reading the textbook is a must, as is doing the end of chapter questions. An easy A in my opinion.

Comment:

Good professor, I had absolutely no interest in the subject (behavior modification) prior to this class. I liked behavior modification principles so much with Prof. Holborn that I took the second part, behavior modification application! Would definitely reccommend him, but make sure to go to class! Also, don't miss class on Halloween!

Comment:

not a very good prof at all! constantly rambling about things that are not at all related to the topic. and his lectures are basically word for word out of the text so i never went to class. i have to agree though, go to class on halloween, hilarious.

Comment:

Worst prof I've ever had!! Avoid him at all costs. I was lucky to get a B. Tests are based on useless information and little comments he makes in class that you're expected to write down. Read the text! All of it! He tends to spill his coffee on people so sit in the middle of the room if you can!

Comment:

One of the worst profs i've had at university. His overheads are brutal, they do not explain anything. And he only gets through like 2 in the first week, and will do like 10 the week before a test. So many stories, constantly going off on tangents. His tests are alright. You have to read the textbook. And you have to come to class. He will p

Comment:

Well slideshows are pretty usless becuase font is to small if you sit near the back of class. He teaches you about intereference yet he has huge paragraphs that we manage to scramble to write down while he talks about it. Way to teach something that you know doesn't work well. Walks only near the front of class and is really quiet, monotone voice.

Do not read other comments. This guy is great. Not a typical class format. Go to class, read the text and you'll do fine. DO NOT miss class on Halloween. He is hilarious!!!

Comment:

The worst prof at the u of m. He was absolutely useless, I just read the text book. He puts random things from his lectures that have nothing to do with what you are learning so you are forced to go to his class. Avoid at all costs, I was lucky to get a B+.

Worst prof ive ever had. His lectures were completely useless, all he talked about was his family and his horses. If your stuck with him just study your textbook and you'll do fine, his tests are pretty easy. He changes test dates all the time.
