Dr. Holladay isn't prepared to teach statistics. He does better with the higher level math courses. Attendance is optional, and you'll do better if you skip class and go through the book on your own.

Yaaaaay! Dr. Holladay is such an amazing professor! His constant positivity and cheeriness is the reason his class is my favorite. He is very FAIR and very clearly works out problems on the board. I love working for the grade in this class. He got me putting smiley faces with my work when problems turn out nice. He cracks me up so much.

Great Teacher! Your final grade consists of the average of your test-grades so make sure you are prepared for them ( do the homework even though it isn't graded). Doc Holladay is very approachable and happy to help you work through any problem that you bring him.

Lectures are usually shorter than the allotted time. Six exams but he tells you almost exactly what will be on them. Extremely fair grader. Textbook only used for homework which you don't need to do.

Very interesting guy. Does problems on the board and you follow along is his teaching style, doesnt engage students into class much. Not my style of learning but if that is yours he would be a great prof. Fair and no questions or surprises as to what is on exams.

I am honestly going to miss Dr Holladay's smiling face and cute expressions and the smiley faces he draws next to problems on the board. He is an incredibly patient, kind, and over-all happy person - I highly recommend him!

Comment:
He's the same everyday, but is never boring. Calc 1: go to class, do the evens in class and the odds for homework. No homework is checked. Review the day before the test. 4 tests and a final. To get a good grade: go to class and do (most of) the homework. First three tests are easy, last one is super tough. Final is cumulative.

A kid says to wait before the prof erases the board, so holiday says"I'll just twiddle my thumbs" and does a lame whistle while twiddling... It was one of the best moments! I could quote him all day. By far, he is my best prof. Plus, he gives us all kinds of cute tricks!!

Dr. Holladay is a great techer! He is always willing to answer any of your questions and he has so much patience for the class. He has a unique personality. My favorite was when he was supposed to write a 2 up on the board and accidentally wrote the number 7. He looked up at the board later and said, "How did that 7 get up there?.. CHEAP CHALK!"

Holladay is an extremely kind hearted and light spirited man. He is so cute and puts a smile on your face, even if you're just watching him go over a problem on the board. And when he makes a mistake (very rarely) he says cute things like, "keep an eye out for me" or "oh bother" very nice person!

Very good humored. Always willing to help you if you ask questions. Must work in the class, but if you keep up with homework it's no problem. Just watch out for the big ugly one.
