Really, really hard. But a load of fun and really knows his stuff. Also, he just retired, so you can't take him anymore, which is a real loss.

Interesting guy. Do the work (if you have him for the one remaining semester he'll be teaching) and you'll do fine. Study hard; the tests can always throw some curveballs.

Comment:

Holliday's classes are stressful and he demands a lot of his students. Just remember that he is not the end all be all of human phys teachers and that if you do poorly in his class that does not necessarily mean that you are not capable of doing well in medical school. That said, he is an EXCELLENT teacher and has a lot to offer his students.

Comment:

Holliday is insanely tough in class and it takes work to learn how to take his tests properly, but he's an amazing teacher and I've never learned so much in my life as I did in physio. Be prepared to work your butt off but when you do well, you really get rewarded. And he's ridiculously helpful too.

Comment:

He has no time to answer student questions as he is always busy helping out the med-school students with their applications as he is the health professions advisor. His classes are okay, but he is impossible to understand unless you read the text BEFORE class and keep up with the reading.

Comment:

Energetic professor who knows his material. Be prepared to read the textbook cover to cover. Weekly pop quizes are annoying and keep you on edge constantly. However, you will learn more from him than any other professor if you do the work.

Comment:

Professor Holliday is extremely energetic, even in 8 am class. He explanations are very clear and he is able to offer alternative explanations if concepts are not understood. His class and exams are extremely challenging but he is more than willing to help you outside of class.. he also offers review sessions. He's my fav. professor at Lafayette.

Great and intelligent professor. Fantastic with answering questions in class as well as during office hours. Lecture is fast-paced but clear, and often interspersed with amusing anecdotes. Be prepared to work hard and learn a lot.

I found this class very difficult, however Dr. Holliday was always willing to answer questions and explain an idea from a different angle. He is an interesting and energetic professor.
