Comment:
Very mean professor. Yells at you and acts like youre stupid when you dont understand something. Also publicly humiliates you in front of the class just because youre struggling with something. Doesnt help you and is also mean when you go to his office hours. Avoid Dr. Holtzman at all costs.

Do not EVER take this professor. He called me stupid when I told him I didn't understand one of the readings. This class has hurt my GPA (and feelings!) and I have never even made a B in my life.

Comment:
While Dr. SETH Holtzman's classes are usually difficult, they always force the student to think in different ways The classes are stimulating, interesting, and, if you have a good attitude, they can be a lot of fun. If you don't like classes with Dr. Holtzman, it's either because Philosophy isn't you're thing, or you're too lazy to do the work.

Comment:
Dr. Holtzman challenges his students, and tries to lead his classes as a discussion. Judging by the timeline of some of the the previous comments, I took the class many of these people had. No one in the class took part in the discussion (and not because of Dr. Holtzman.) Yes, his classes are confusing--he teaches Philosophy. That's the point.

Dr Holtzmann rocks!If you are trying to just BS your way through a requirement then don't take any of his classes.He will challenge everything about you, which is a GOOD THING!If you want to continue being a mindless slave then don't take his class. He will talk to you anytime if you go talk to him. And he's friggin BRILLIANT!!

Comment:
This was the most confusing class I've ever taken. He would take forever to get to a point, and wanted the class to participate but made sure that anyone who spoke up was wrong. There was no book to go by, so basically you learn his opinions about ethics

Comment:
This class is BS. If you dont cite yourself on common knowledge then he calls it plagerism. Way too opinionated to teach any type of ethics class. AVOID not just the class, but Dr. Holzman.

Takes a lot of pts away from your grade for being absent and he aint even there most of the time. He is definitely too one sided to teach an ethics course.

EXTREMEly opinionated. If it isn't what he believe then you are wrong. A lot of reading assigned w/this class.
