I took abnormal with Jeff, and even though I was going through some personal struggles that semester, I still enjoyed it a lot. Jeff is fast-paced, so be prepared. But don't get too anxious; he makes up for it by actually engaging you with the topic, and actually talks WITH you about it. He's very good; you'll really enjoy class with him.

This is the third class I have taken with Jeff. I literally fight to get into his classes. Yes, he is that good. Everybody I know who knows him loves him. Don't expect him to be easy, but he will ALWAYS be interesting and caring. He wants everyone to pass, and if you ask for help, he WILL make sure you succeed.

There is no one I know who doesn't love Jeff Holmes. He made general psych, and then abnormal psych, extremely interesting. He engaged everybody and easily sparked interest in every subject. The one thing I found hard was the tests. I'm not a good test taker, and all of the grades were tests and quizzes. Despite this, I'm taking PSYC309 with him.

Psych 101 with Jeff was my favorite class back in freshman year. Jeff is such a darling, always there for his students with a caring and positive attitude. He's obviously passionate about what he teaches. I only received a C+ because of personal troubles that semester but with regular work and reading I could have gotten an A. Highly recommend.

Not too hard to do well. You have to read the textbook. Your grade is made up completely of the five tests you take over the semester.

Great professor! Although his classes are extremely hard, its really helpful when it comes to majoring in psychology. His exams are really hard but you need to take great notes. Ask questions and use your resources, he's also really funny.

He makes the subject more interesting with his lectures! He really cares about every single student. I wish I would had asked for help sooner rather than later. DO NOT MISS CLASS! Yes the textbook helps but the way he lays out the material in class is what appears on the test most of the time. Great professor overall!

Jeff Holmes is an absolute gem of a person. He is one of the best professors at Ithaca in the psych department. A lot of people believe his Abnormal class can be hard but if you occasionally brush up on the text and actually listen to what he says, the tests are extremely straightforward. He's also just a great person to go and talk to.

Jeff was a really awesome professor. He was kinda awkward to talk to, and definitely didn't know my name. However, I really enjoyed taking his class even though it has nothing to do with my major.

Jeff's lectures are really great to listen to and he makes it easy for you to understand the content in the class. Be cautious though because although you may think you know it all, there's a lot in the textbook you need to learn on your own. His tests are worded kind of tricky but they're not impossible.

Jeff is an amazing professor and I loved his class, but I'm going to be honest, I posted this rating to give him the chili pepper because I think his adorableness is underappreciated.

Great teacher! Tests are hard, but if you go to his classes and study the book, you'll do fine. He's extremely likable, and uses his kids' stories to help us learn. Awesome guy!
