As a person, he's awesome. He's essentially a goofy stand-up comedian who actually makes you laugh and think about things. Other traits include respect, optimism, and honesty.

Holle has teaching down to an art. Whatever happened to the joy of learning? It seems to have been lost along the way, but Holle has managed to save a small piece of it and carry it with him wherever he goes. I am honored to have been his student and to have had the chance to see that there can still be passion and joy and wonder in learning.

Dr. Holle is awesome! I had him for Gen Psych and for Experimental 1. Can easily say he is the best teacher at William Paterson. He makes the topics interesting and actually cares about how his students are doing. As long as you don't mind him going off topic a little bit and his sense of humor, you will love his class.

He is a very nice guy but I would not take a class with him again. He wants the class to be enjoyable but tries really hard. We do not learn at all. Then he gives test and its pass or fail. When he lectures it is hard to focus because he jokes too much and talks about his life. If you want an easy A take him. If you want to learn dont(Psych majors)

Taken Holle for all three classes. But Holle isnt that easy. His Gen psych exams were harder than we thought. Next, I have literally 25 to 30 pages of notes and learned a lot and used it in most of my psych classes. I love his stories they explain the facts. His tests are never pass/fail, the student who said that just shows they have no clue.

The dude is probably one of if not the best teachers at WPU. He is super understanding of his students and works with you in any way possible to ensure you pass his class. He makes learning super exciting and interactive. I strongly suggest taking his class at least once. I will definitely be taking another one of his classes.

Holle, known as the dude is one of the best professors I have ever has at William Paterson. He truly cares about his students and wants you to pass his class. He is always there for you academically of course! If you have the chance take him, you will not regret it. Make sure you attend class and take notes for the quizzes and you will be fine.

This professor, otherwise known and would like to be called "dude", is one of the nicest human beings ever! He is very considerate to his students and will go over material if you don't understand the material. In addition, he gives various opportunities for extra credit. He is a very down to earth person.

REGISTER FOR HIS CLASS ASAP!! FILLS QUICK. I took E1 with a heavy SPSS prof & failed. I retook with Holle and he is heaven-sent! I wouldn't have passed if it wasn't for him. ONLY TEACHES E2 IN THE SUMMER BUT ITS WORTH IT. He is so kind and caring, loves talking about his family & genuinely LOVES his students. More professors should be like Holle.

I would not take E1 with any other professor. This is my second time taking this class, and I don't know why I didn't take Holle the first time. NO MATH. And I understand what he is saying. The first guy was nice but too hard and I didn't understand what he was teaching. The only bad thing was he taught late afternoon, but so worth it!!!

Funny and fun lectures.

Holle is one of the best professors I ever had at WPU. I could write so much about him. He isn't powerpoint heavy, and actually cares about you. E1 is a tough class but Holle makes you understand it well. And will always go over it till you understand it. He offers EC so if you're struggling, i would go to his EC events. Honestly, the dude is great

Holle is the best prof. He has the highest passing ratings in the psych department (that says something y'all). Holle cares about his students and listens to what you have to say. Not many PP's and will tell you what you need to know and not. This class was very interesting and I enjoyed it. If I could take Holle for all my classes for psy, I would

I would def try to not miss E1. This is a math class, keep in mind, so you don't want to fall behind. But, for a math class, Holle makes you understand it. And if you're confused, ask questions, he will help you. Don't use chat for quizzes. Use the notes he gives you because that's what is on your quiz. I would 1000% rec. Holle for any class at WPU

I learned from his class and I can tell he really does care for his students...but spends too much time trying to make conversation and talking about himself. His stories were interesting (sometimes) but they didn't really help me to better understand the material. Unique teaching style.

He's a hilarious guy but does NOT teach. You could probably sleep in every one of his lectures and get an A. If you want that, go for it, but do not take him if you genuinely want to learn something. Especially do not take him for Experimental 1 unless you plan to take him for E2 as well.
