Comment:

He looks like a slug. Completely uninterested in students. A tornado could wipe out your home and kill your family and he wouldn't care. Snotty and arrogant, thinks he's god. There are other sound teachers who are actual human beings. Take them.

Comment:

Holman is unbelievably knowledgeable and transmits a lot across the barrier to us, although sometimes he's a little over our heads. People who think this is hard are just not used to working. All in all, the best experience I've had at USC.

Comment:

This was one of the only difficult classes at CNTV. For that reason, many won't like it. Most CNTV teachers are easy because the goal is not diplomas, it's employment. But TH believes you need to know this in the real world, and for the most part, in my experience, it really does come in handy. So stay awake and don't cheat; you'll learn something.

This class was hard and ****ing boring. Everyone I know had to cheat to even get a passing grade. Holman has the charisma of a toaster oven.

The most knowlegeable teacher at USC, his class leans too much towards the technical and not enough towards the creative.
