Everyone should take this professor. Really easy and passes everyone unless u don't do any work.
Yea, he is real cool, he is not the average type of professor, which of course is a good thing!
This prof is the best!! He can teach stats without the use of formulas - teaches the "why" of everything and then you just have to use your own common sense!! If I can do it - anyone can! BIG ADDED PLUS!!!!! - A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR!
His teaching style and dedication to teaching his students is amazing. He knows his stuff and even though the class is supposed to be really hard, he is teaching us the "why" of everything and giving the most practical knowledge! He is awesome..
He's a cool guy, but sometimes he gets too carried away. Very easy!!
Hes a great teacher. He cares about the students and is a great guy to talk to after class.
He is a great teacher who really cares about his students. Take holle if you want to have fun while you learn.
Great teacher! Really cares avout his students, teaches you WHY you would use certain formulas, and exactly how to go about conducting research. I was dreading taking this course, but left his class with a real intrest in it.He made something I hated fun
Take his class! He is the best professor ever! Makes class fun, interesting and easy! Gives points out like crazy. He is an awesome guy and really really cares about his students.
Okay, people are saying that his class is a fluff class. For E2, we are doing a lot of work. There is no fluff about it. He is very willing to help you, but you still do all the work.
great teacher. gets a little off track but loves to teach. not hard at all though if i was a psych major i wouldnt really appreciate his laid back style because he doesnt stress "unimportant" stuff. overall one of the best teachers i've had
He is the best teacher I have ever had. I would take every class the school has to offer by this professor. He is a great asset to this college.
Holle was an awesome teacher! I had him for E2 over the summer one year and the class was great.Not only is he a great person, but he is awesome to talk to if you need any kind of advice.I miss having class with him now that I've graduated!!

terrible!
Incredible professor!! He is very helpful and wants everyone to succeed. Our whole class loved him. You do have to do the work. Some get upset when they have to read the book!!
Some students complain about the work, but while he has high demands, he also one of the greatest professors I have had!
Okay, I know students who don't want to do the work and blame Doc Holle--you HAVE to work hard, but he gives so many different ways to earn points in his class. not just tests alone. I'd take him again anytime.
Oh my God, everyone knows how good Dr. Holle is, expecially in this class. I had him last year and his enthuasism and helpfullness was amazing.
I read the other rating and yes, we had to read six chapters, but we knew it from the beginning and still wanted to take his class--he teaches us sooooo much and is funny too.
Holle was an awesome teacher! I had him for E2 over the summer one year and the class was great.Not only is he a great person, but he is awesome to talk to if you need any kind of advice.I miss having class with him now that I've graduated!!
the best teacher i've had at willie p
Not only helped me in class, but took his own time to get my stuff ready for the conference next week. He's such a sweetie.

Great teacher. Class is a lot of fun. Easy. Take this guy. He is not hot
THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD AT WILLY P. he is so helpful and makes the class very fun!
He's mad cool and easy. Ya really need to take him. We only take notes and do no homework. Plus, the midterm was 50 multiple choice questions. (Intro 2 Psy)
funny, easy, cool professor. when u attend his class just like go to a comedy show.
Very cool and funny guy. He knows what he is talking about and makes it very clear. He is very helpful when it comes to reviewing for tests and tells you basically what is going to be on it. Definately take him.
This guys is the coolest man alive....not only do i love his class but he would be cool to chill with...he makes everything funny and easy...u dont have to look at the book once...he gives u good notes...he is the MAN...Take him...he will be the best teacher u ever have!!

A true teacher. Clearly explains everything, makes it interesting, and is always looking to help.
THE BEST GUY EVER.SO helpful. Clearly explains requirements. Helps out a lot.Makes class fun and interesting. Guides you through everything, so you do not fall behind and get lost. you have to take him!!! The best teacher.
I had Prof. Holle's class my first semester of my freshman year...he made me feel comfortable in college!! His class is intresting and exciting!! I highly recommend taking his class!
It's nice to have a teacher who actually likes teaching. He's completely approachable and a really great guy. Clearly explains what he wants in regard to assignments. Also, he's hilarious and when he speaks, he really reminds me of Homer Simpson. Definitely take him.
he is absolutly awesome! you must take him, he will help you with anything, you learn so much from him and you dont even realize because he is THAT good. awesome teaching methods also!
He is an AMAZING professor.
He was an amazing professor becuz he was funny and made the class fun to learn. He is very helpful and knows what he is talking about!
What an awesome professor. Imagine if "The Dude" from the Big Lebowski got crossed with Confucius and then earned a degree in Psychology. The product is Professor Holle and I suggest you take whatever class he's teaching that you can get into.
This guy is cool as hell, and the class is pretty straight foward... Great teacher
dr. holle is the best he's so nice and he's hilarious. he always makes class fun and is very clear about his material. the Best teacher i ever had.
Took him 4 times! Hes amazing! Best Psych. professor at Willy P!

Easy, made class interesting, actually cares about what you have to say.
A very nice and funny guy! you will never be bored in his class. Tests are easy. Take notes and you'll be fine. makes lots of jokes bout himself. very funny. You'll enjoy his class.
DOC HOLLE RULEZZZZZZZZZZ
HEIS GREAT makes class fun and not boring. lots of jokes. You wont get bored! Lots of extra credit too. Take him
AMAZING!!! Because of Chris, I am majoring in psychology. Best professor to have... non stop fun!
he's dominant
He is the best professor i ever had... if you can..TAKE HIM he wants everyone to get an A.
DOc HOlle is great. The class is super easy. He gives tons of participation points just for showing up to class. Few pop quizzes during the semester. I really didn't the book, his notes( if you take them) are more than enought to pass. The midterm is supereasy
He is an amazing teacher. He actually wants to be there and makes class so much fun and interesting. The only reason why I say he is easy is bc he tries hard to help you do well. I had to study for tests but I didnt mind at all. He is great and wpu is lucky to have him..
Very funny and easy!!!you dont even have to go to class to pass but gives you extra credit if you show up!!!always gives extra credit and they are like dumb-easy questions like what you did on the weekend. midterms and finals,kinda hard if you dont study but i passed with a C and almost missed class every week.alot of notes and grades on huge curv
GREAT teacher,, makes class fun_ always making jokes.. alot of notes&& alot of speaking,, but its the exact info youll need for the midterm/finals.. ALOTT of extra credit movies, work.. just show up to class and get points.. DEFFINATELY TAKE HIM
His very easy going. His test are right out of your notes, just make sure you pay attention and write notes. There's really nothing bad to say about Chris but only that he really cares about his students, and wants them to do well in his class.
Great teacher.. u will learn lots of things plus his class is fun..he will play games instead of giving u exams ..i mean flash card games. it is fun.. just take good notes and pay attention in class u will get A for sure...
Dr. Holle is a great professor. He cares about his students and wants them to learn. He makes the class very intersting. Gives extra credit, take good notes and you will pass!
If you don't take him you will regret it. Very Easy A. Attendance points is about 3/4 of your grade so you must show up. Funny guy, loves to pick on the 'quiet corner' A lot of notes, but tells you specifically what is on the 2 tests. No homework, no paper, no textbook! saves you money.
The best! He tries to make everything fun! he's always joking but he gets what needs to be done done. You don't need to buy a book which is good because psychology books are $100+
BEST PROFESSOR! I wish Holle taught every psych class @ WPU! Hilarious and doesn't make class mandatory! Easy grader, wants everyone to pass, you do have to read the book but you make up your own questions for the test which there are only 3 of. Grades on the Holle Curve, which means everyone does great! TAKE HIM!!
This class isnt for the strict organized type who actually cares about school. This professor is for the people who really dont care about school at all. Never took attendance,I don't think he ever checked his email. Really disorganized, He seems like a nice guy. But he's the classic tenured professor who doesnt give a crap about his students.
hey ,he is the best professor i ever had in this college. he teaches you and he encourages you to study.he is a good,kind hearted professor. so take him or you will regret it .see ya
Holle is great! He does use the book and you have to read cus some of the questons were hard, but he prepares us well and we learned a lot!!
HE IS THE BEST. your dumb if you don't take Holle. he is awesome, seriously. he's hilarious!! DEF. TAKE HIM. his exams are a little hard, but he offers a lot of extra credit and a lot of other ways to bring your grade up.
This guy is the BEST. All I have to say it Thank God he took over our class and not Henizen. Make sure if you take History and Systems it is just Holle teaching it!
Teaches nothing! waste of time and money!
back of Holle, he is a good guy.
he's a good guy, only take a class that he teaches alone
Holle is kool! Made class fun. I was a little shocked tho cus I had to read the book. I like just sitting and taking notes. But I did the work and got a B!!!!!!!!!!! I seen others in the class didn't even get the book and ****ed about their GPA lowered. Ignore them, you know Holles good, but you have to read :(
really cool and laid back. his teaching style is awesome. The facts will really stick. really cares about his students Must take!!!
Was an interesting easy class yet I learned a lot. Made the 2 and a half hours of class go by fast with his funny jokes. He boosted my gpa.
Real cool and good prof. He tries to be easier than he really is but the man has rules to stick to. If you cant get a good grade here your in trouble for the future. Does everything he can to ensure that his students do well, the 2 or 3 negative comments are probably from people tightly wound who dont know learning can be fun. I do my 3.5 proves it
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. I'd add "laid back," but that's also his biggest flaw. He goes on tangents often and barely teaches anything that's on his exams. Trivial facts on a lot of chapters...
useless i got an B+ in his class but he teaches you nothing. good luck
Holle keeps it interesting and learned alot. Other classes I start nodding off. Pros: Awsome prof who cares and makes the boring stuff come alive. Got an A- Once I figured out I had to read the book. Cons: Sweats, paces a lot, 70% of exams on book not lect, but i knew that already, lots of quizzes, but they helped me get a good grade on the exams.
I love him hes a big teddy bear. He sweats a lot and does laps around the classroom but is a really funny guy. Lectures for about 30 minutes of class and the rest of the time is spent telling jokes and making the class laugh.. but still manages to be a good teacher and I learned a lot in his class.
Holle is a good, fun guy and you can tell he really cares about his students but in my opinion he does not teach you anything at all. Don't take history and systems of Psychology with him and Heinzen or you will regret it. Seriously.
History of system with Holle and Heinzen, it was ok, I got an A. Just come to class make sure to do the "Holle Quizzes" and listen to their inclass notes. In the midterm and final, the highest grades were in the 60's but it is not that important. The quizzes count more than the midterm and final. just listen and do good on the presentations,
Holle is a true professor. he tell you that he comes into work every day because he loves what he does, and you can honestly tell. He wants you to have fun in his class and he always looks to make people laugh. If you have no sense of humor then do not take his class. Very easy!! Helps if you ever need it, and makes class enjoyable!
OMG!!! EVERYONE knows how great Holle is. We learned so much in his class but enjoyed it at same time. He was a huge help with our group skit. I only remember him talking about sweating once, and that was to teach us about anxiety. Hes goofy but great. TAKE HIM!
TOTALLY AWESOME
Dr Holle is the best prof. anyone can ask for!!! He cares for his students and always wants everybody to do well. I enjoy going to his class and I wish he would teach every class at WPU!!!!!!HE IS AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holle is awesome! Take him for whatever class you can get! E2 is a hard class-but he makes it clear and fun and VERY easy to understand. Holle is one of the best professors at WPU =)
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! HOLLE IS THE MAN!!!!
AWESOME teacher...easy A if you listen to what he says
The best and easist class I've had. Tests right from his lectures. You have to attend class tho, others missed many times and bitc$ed about the exams. Have to be there to do well
Holle is awesome!!!! i definitely recommend taking any class that he teaches, I wish i had him next semester!! i'm definitely gonna look for him next opportunity i get!! =]
going to class is no stress, holle quizzes are awesome, no book, 3 exams drop the lowest which is good, but he's hard to follow in class and you really need to study for the exams and figure out what's what because there's no book and ppts are very basic, just prepare for exams if you take him, otherwise great =]
He has to be one of the best professors at WPU. He actually cares about the students and wants to see them succeed. He makes sure that you understand the material and tries to teach his students the easiest way to learn and remember the content. I would definately recommend that you take his class.
Holles e1 class is really easy and he makes stats as fun as they can be. he gives holle quizzes which help to boost your grade ad he reviews eery class what was taught in the previous class so that you really learn the stuff. Basically he really prepares you for e2. I would recommend this professor because he is passionate about teaching!!!
I took this class at night and Holle and Heinzen team taught.Holle trie to help boost your grade as much as possible becase this class is hard. Holle will point out during his lectures what you can expect to see on the test which is helpful.The class is not the most intersting but holle really tries to keep your attention.
Proffesor Hollie is one of the best proffesor if not the best one
Holle is straightforward and to the point. He's very laid back, but you learn from him if you pay attention. Loves what he does and treats his students as friends. I say you should definitely take him!
Excellent professor. Take him, I learned alot more from him than any other professor, he is fun and knows his material. i'm so glad i took e1 with him.
The best professor
I personally did not like him. He says he has your back, but he didnt have mine. He kept changing the dates of the tests, which some people liked. But I didnt because I had other classes to study for. If you dont like psych, i would def recommend him. You will get an easy A. But if you like psych like me, I would try finding someone else.
Holle is my prob my fave teacher at wpu. awesome guy, super laid back, funny as heck, and knowledgeable about psych. took hist/syst with him and Heinzen, and would have died with the workload if not for Holle's straightforward test prep. if you get the chance, take him!
We had Holle last Spring. We we were the "nerdy" row on the right. As a psych major, Holle gave us lots of info to use. He only moved ONE exam up one class day we all THANKED him for it. Also, his class was not easy. We formed a study group and compared notes, which helped alot. But you HAVE to study for Holle. Great class, def will take him again.
He is an amazing teacher who makes the information fun to learn and easy to remember. If you are interested in psychology I highly suggest Professor Holle.
He is an awesome teacher who looks out for his students and makes sure that his material is fun to learn and that it is memoriable
Holle is the best teacher of all times, he is really easy and funny. he teaches the material by relating it to something that every one likes or knows about. He is really kool and easyyyy, his class is one of those classes that you look forward to attending. Definitely take his class. EASY A
Professor Holle is the best professor you will ever meet. He is laid back and makes teaching fun. He relates psychology to things you know so it is easy to remember. I have him now and love his class! Definitely will be taking him again! LOVE him!
he is honestly a really good professor. i took him in the spring and ended up with a b+. you have to study, but he really cares about you and your grades. he always offers extra credit with hw assignments and holle quizzes. take him! you will learn a lot & do well! :)
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.
Very easy. Gives holle quizes that are extremely easy. Very nice.
GO HOLLE!!!!!!REALLY GENUINELY CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENTS
I'm getting an A in statistics.....so take him.
Holle is a great professor with a big heart! The subject matter is tough, but he teaches the course so that you can apply stats practically instead of harping on memorizing formulas. Always patient and kind to his students, Holle makes everyone look forward to coming to class. DEF take E1 with him!
Holle has perfected the art of being hilarious and educational at the same time. Class feels like hanging out with friends and you don't even realize that you're learning a lot. Genuine guy, doesn't take himself too seriously. If you think it'd be cool to have Will Ferrel as a professor, then take this class...he'll be one of your favs at Willy P
I didn't know what I had till it was gone!! he is a great professor, that never made me feel that I was listening to a lect, but more a great story that I still can vividly recall. If you want to learn without taking notes Holle is your professor!
Awesome, interesting, funny, smart, everything a teacher should be. Gets a little lost sometimes, but it makes class more interesting. HOWEVER I MUST WARN YOU: he has no butt...
The only professor I will ever rate. Holle is the best teacher I have ever had and I learned so much from his classes. These classes should have been boring and meticulous but they wound up being my favorites so far. I would take Holle for everything if I could.
If you look up "teacher" in the dictionary you will see a picture of Holle.
If you love to be bored to death by someone who just cannot stop talking about himself, who CANNOT take a joke, who will rip you apart for being your own person, and makes you feel like the tuition you paid was completely worthless! Then by all means take Holle
This student sits one row ahead of us and made the exact same tuition comment in class and is always complaining about how hard the class is, the readings, and Holle. We all love his teaching and he even makes fun of himself in class. She's way off base just read what others say too. Take him, you'll be happy.
Holle, or "The Dude" as he likes to call himself, is an awesome teacher. He LOVES LOVES LOVES his students and what he does, I know because he tells us each class. Anyone that claims to be a Psych major, but doesn't like Holle is just not cut out for the profession.
Holle is the BEST!!! He is an very active teacher who cares alot about his students, if you are looking for a teacher thats interesting; take Holle.
This guy is one of the coolest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. He cares about his students as people and manages to get to know almost all of them. He makes such a boring subject so interesting. Constantly making hilarious jokes. Not only is he a great teacher, but he's a great person.
He's the easiest professor. He will pass you even if you're failing. He talks about himself all the time. If you don't want to learn, take him. If you actually want to come out of the class knowing the material, he's useless. He waters down the material to the point where it's too easy and you learn nothing. He is a great guy, but a BAD teacher
THE BEST PROFESSOR I KNOW. HE CARES ABOUT THE STUDENTS AND HE MAKES LEARNING SO MUCH FUN. I have a huge problem learning stats and he explained it in one day and i passed stats with an A omg holle is the man.
Looks like Holle's got a hater here. I failed only three of my chapter quizzes and just barely made it with a C so you know she's lying about the B. Oh BTW there is no 2013 into psych course lol sounds like the person from 5/2. Ignore the hater, Holles good but you have to work.
best professor!!
Holle is extremely helpful! I used to hate math courses and he really helped me understand the basics about it. He has a great sense of humor and is really nice :)
very helpful, makes sure you understand the material before moving on. Knows books are expensive so will not make you get the book, bring food for him...class will be easier, he has Story time all the Time :) i have taken him for 3 of my classes. i love how he teaches
Holle is one of the few great psychology professors that I have taken at WPU. He's so empathetic and understanding. His class is easy but that's because he lets you know exactly what information is critical for E2. He has an awesome sense of humor. The only drawback of taking his class is that he gets sidetracked easily. Not always bad though.
Holle is awesome!!! He's so helpful and really cares about his students. He always makes sure that everyone is on the same page and understands the material. I would highly recommend taking his E1 class! You will be more than prepared for E2
Holle is a great professor!! he makes sure everyone in the class understands the material before moving on to something new. there is a lot of information so this isn't a class to miss. i definitely recommend taking Holle for E1!
I really enjoy his class that he teaches with Professor Heinzen. Holle is quick witted, passionate, comical, and he knows how to narrow the material down to what is important. He's very concise about that. He goes off on tangents, but then he often segues back to the material. He is very provocative and inspirational.
This may be one of the few classes that i actually LEARNED In instead of just memorized material.. Great professor. you do have to study for every class because he does give quizzes but its FOR YOUR BENEFIT!! Funny, understanding, Great guy!! great comfortable class helps you understand the material. YOURE THE BESST HOLLE!
He was my favorite prof. last semester when I had him for General Psych. But E1 with him was tough. He goes way too fast,doesn't explain things clearly, and we'll spend the 1st hour of class goofing around. I thought I'd have a good chance of understanding the material with him but I was wrong.. he's a nice guy but really confusing..
very funny and actually cares about his students. Holle is one of a kind. He gets to the point in his class and prepares you well for tests. I actually learned and retained information compared to other classes where you memorize long enough to test well. Wish other professors had his teaching style.
Honestly I have been in college for 6yrs now &have never rated any of my professors regardless of how good or bad they were.However, Holle is worth rating just bc that leaves a chance for the rest of you guys to take an awesome professor who leaves you with more knowledge than you had entering the course. Biggest plus,he is HILARIOUS!! Take him!!
Easily my favorite professor! He's hilarious and really cares about his students. Loves his job and is just a really nice guy! Emphasizes on what will be on the final. MUST TAKE!
for the first time in my entire education career, i never once strayed or daydreamed in class. he made it so easy to listen to him the whole time. so funny. best professor EVER! this class was so much fun. more like a party than a lecture. LOVE YOU HOLLE! oh and use the ebook. it'll make the tests so much easier bc u can just search for the answer
good fun teacher but he doesnt teach as much because he wants to have fun...i mean is very nice and pen with students and keeps them interested but he could be helpful more in the notes and getting us prepared for exams. overall he is hard in exams but he is an awesome guy and fun teacher !
Holle was probably my favorite. He was entertaining, he makes fun of students, but allows students to make fun of him as well. He has extra credit movie nights. You have to write a couple papers, but it isn't that bad. He basically tells you not to buy the book, and that it is a waste of money.
Professor Holle is by far the best teacher at William Paterson. E1 has hard material, but professor Holle goes above and beyond to help every student grasp the concept. This is a type of professor that loves his job and his students, and it really shows in the way he teaches! TAKE HIM TAKE HIM TAKE HIM!
Best professor I've ever had. He is so funny and never once did I daydream or even look at my phone on some days!! Being at his lecture is really entertaining and I never skipped a day. I had him with Heinzen. They're great together. Online tests were really tricky, so definitely buy the ebook so you can search for keywords.
Dr.Christian Holle, or should I say the man, makes class interesting and makes you want to show up. Makes sure you understand the material and might be the only professor at WPU who cares about his students. If you have the chance to get into this class, you would dumb not to take it. I would take Holle for any class that was offered.
Professor Holle is one of the most dynamic on campus. He wants you to learn by having fun. The amount of material covered is clearly explained with silly examples that make you grasp the concepts. You'll definetely learn and have a good time. Make sure you take good notes and no need for book.
He claims to give all this extra credit but none of it really counts except movie nights and online quizzes pay attention his exams a word for word what he lectures. Nice guy though.
This professor rather be your friend than be a professor. If you are a visual learner this class isn't for you. He lectures and expects you to just get it instantly. He is a lot of fun ,but my grade suffered.
holle is the best professor ever! i took him for history and systems and for experimental stats.only professor who teaches you what you can actually use in E2 i highly recommend him!! very helpful,so helpful,breaks everything down and makes it seem so much easier than it is. this class is hard, but thats a given. he makes it as easy as possible
We do nothing for 75% of the class, so its hard to know when to pay attention and when to tune out his tangents about just about anything except statistics. I'm legitimately scared for E2. In this class it's really difficult to learn, even though he is really nice and funny.
Maintaining a classroom's attention can be difficult if not impossible for an hour and fifteen minutes. Dr. Holle's unconventional approach to teaching does just that. He keeps you entertained whilst teaching you what you need to know for E2. I can confidently say that I was sufficently prepared for E2 thanks to Dr. Holle. Overall great guy.
This is the third time I've tried to pass this stupid class. I'll never use this stuff again in my life. But I'm finally passing thanks to Holle. If spending 20 minutes after class and all his help in class means he wants to be my friend and not a teacher then I'll take it anytime.
worth taking
my bad mixed up numbers Holle's worth taking
Very funny! Gives out a lot of extra credit. Doesn't use book. Uses powerpoints goes over but sometimes the jokes take over class time. Exams have questions that aren't reviewed. But the "dude" is a great professor after all.
Holle cares about his students and it shows. He gives you chances to make things up and will often cut you a break here and there. Hist and Systems is a combined class so keep in mind you get both him and Heinzen (who also happens to be a great professor).
He loves his students and in a great teacher. He wants you to do well and pass. Sadly he tends to get off on other topics and sometimes things don't get done in class. Over all he is a great prof that cares allot about his students
He loves his students. Likes to keep the class interesting by telling stories. Very easy and just wants everyone to do well in his class
Really involved and cares about his students. Enjoys a conversation here and there but any question you ask you will get it answered. 10/10 would take again
He is a great professor along with Heinzen but the class isn't as easy as it seems. The online test are difficult even with a textbook. You also have to do 2 mandatory performances with groups of people who will not always cooperate and work together.
Holle is hilarious, he always joking around, which makes the class fun. He tells everything that will be on the tests so make sure you take good notes and review notes for test in order to pass
Holle is the best! He really cares about his students and tries to understand them. He is hilarious and doesn't take himself too seriously. However, do not mistake his jovial personality with not caring about the material, because you will have to know your stuff. He places importance on the material he is teaching and is very passionate about it.
Holle is the best professor ever! He wants his students to do well as well as fully understand the material he presents. He will not continue on without all of his students understanding the information given prior. He only teaches the information necessary which is super helpful. Holle made class fun and made it easy to want to learn!
Holle doesnt like for you to call him Dr. Holle, call him Holle. He's the best professor here at wpu honestly. take him if possible. even if the class is full, waitlist yourself; i did and i got a seat. AND i was number 5 on it. he's SUPER understanding, and he makes sure you understand the material. best part: dont need to buy a textbook
Holle is great. He is extremely laid back, so if you don't like that he's probably not the teacher for you. During class it seems like you get nothing done, but when it comes to reviewing you realize you've actually taken a lot of notes. He wants you to do well and gives many opportunities to do so. He's really nice and funny.
Holle is very laid back and extremely funny. He knows his stuff and makes learning fun. He explains everything in a way that you will remember and that will actually make sense to you. I always enjoy coming to class and hearing his lectures! I would definitely recommend his class! Love Holle!
holle is fantastic!! by far the funniest and most down to earth guy ever! don't call him dr. or professor. he hates it. call him dude or holle or even chris! he keeps me interested with his off topic stories and you're guaranteed a laugh every class.
Holle is INCREDIBLE!! You'll love him and if your bad at Math hes the best teacher for you!! I never had a class I LOVED going to, but i LOVE seeing Holle everytime!!
the best professor I have taken hands down
Holle is the BEST professor I have had, hands down! He is funny and very laid back. He only provides you with material you need to know. If you prefer powerpoint, cookie cutter, boring lectures, don't take him. Had him for general psych. Easy A, no homework, 3 exams, plenty extra credit opportunities. SUPER EASY AND SO FUN! Would take him again!
i Love Holle!! & So will you!!
Nice guy. Likes to have fun while learning, joking and talking about tv and entertainment. Quizzes & tests are all onlineopen book. Use e-book to search for answers. Super nice and you think the class is going to be totally easy, but you have to work to find the answers. 2 group proj.-group members may not all share in the work. Overall good!
Holle is the best! I would take him for any class offered. He made E1 a breeze, we all learned the material and enjoyed the class. Don't hesitate to take him, you won't regret it.
I dont know why everyone is so excited with this professor. Ok so he is a nice guy with a funnysilly personality. He keeps telling you how much he loves you but in fact he doesnt know any of his students (far from being care of what you feel or need). He can keep talking and talking forever. The lectures are too long and too boring. Bottom line
Holle is great! His psychology class was extremely easy. I personally took advantage of all the extra credit that was offered and I got an A. It may seem like you never get anything done because he is a;ways joking around but i promise you if you pay attention, and take notes you will do just fine. Fake quizzes are for attendance purposes only!
He is the best professor I have ever had. He is such a sweet and funny guy. Alot of class is spent just having a good time, but when it comes time for the test you realize how much you learned even though you were having a good time. I would take him 1,000 times over if I could. He is everything a professor should be.
best professor
Holle is the best professor I have had at Willy p. I have taken him for 2 classes now and would always choose him over any other professor. He is very helpful and really cares about his students!
Awesome!! Very straight foward! Tries to give each person an A if he can.
great guy! absolutely the best. i loved Holle and his stories. he made the whole learning experience fun and entertaining. i never dreaded going to class, definitely take his class!
He's a great dude and is the most influential professor i have ever had. really cares about his students and wants to see them succeed in what they love. Holle you rock man
Great Professor! loves to talk and tell stories. He wont move on until everyone understands the material. He is super energetic and truly loves his job.
Best professor I have had In my life!!!!! HE is AWSOME and always ready to help you!! Take him with anything he teaches and you will pass! Not because he is easy but because you actually learn and he makes the material clear enough to seem easy! You actually remember what you were taught!
If you ever get the opportunity to take this professor for any class, TAKE IT. He actually WANTS to give you an A! He loves to tell stories but he'll also make sure everyone is learning. I've already taken two classes with him as a professor and I would definitely recommend.
Nice guy. Most of the answers for the tests are online, need to take notes only for final and midterm . 2 group projects. No hw. Every grade easily seen on blackboard. No text book needed
Greatest professor I have ever had. Easy grader, and always willing to help. He related to students and engages in discussion. Best professor on campus in my opinion. Take his classes if you can and you won't regret it.
When I saw this review below, I texted other students I knew in this class and we immdieately knew who this student was. You did nothing but argue the whole time with Holle. I sat two seats from you and I never saw you cry. If he's so bad why is everyone in our row, except for you, taking him over the summer? There is no way you got an A.
I just happened to see the recent comment on how mean Dr. Holle is. That's a joke, if anything is too nice to students. He's just a big fat puppy dog of a teacher. I took Exp. 2 after his class and his class made a big difference. I would not have gotten the good grade I got this semester if he just focused on formulas like others do.
Professor holle (Olaf) is the best professor you will ever take in your four years of college. I've never met a teacher who cares for his students as much as he did. He loves his job and wouldn't trade it for anything. In class, we joke around and have fun while learning really fun material. Cherrish your semester with holle cause he is the man.
Holle's class was the best class I've ever been in After failing the midterm, he gave us so many chances to do better and earn extra credit Theres always an opportunity for a better grade if you need one, just gotta look for it He's a great professor who cares about his students and provides them everything they need in order to succeed TAKE HIM!!
take Holle . he cares . ps - the course code is wrong. i cant remember what h&s was.
holle is THE best. He is one of the few professors who genuinely cares and wants everyone to do well. Love this dude; you will definitely learn, TAKE HIS CLASS.
He's a great teacher who basically gives out A's ,take him.
he is a phenomenal professor and an inspiring and passionate person. if you have the oppertunity TAKE ANY OF HIS CLASSES. HE IS A GEM. this guy is honestly the reason im still in college at this point, he saved my gpa and i actually learned a lot from him. 10/10 would recommend FO SHO.
Best professor in that department. Just take his class, you won't be disappointed.
Holle is by far my favorite professor at this school. He genuinely cares for his students. I have taken almost every single class that he offers, and I have gotten an A in every one of them. He presents the material in a way that can be understood, and he will always make sure everyone understands. He teaches a lot without frying your brain.
Holle made my transition into the college life so awesome! He is truly a down to earth guy who cares about each and every one of his students and just wants to see you succeed! Take his class whenever possible, he is literally the best professor that this school has!
A professor who really cares about teaching, and loves what he does. His classes are not hard at all, just don't purposely not do a good job. As long as you're putting in some effort, he will pass you. He makes his class easy enough to pass, yet you'll learn what you need to know.
Professor Holle is one of the few teachers that I recommend to take every class with. He's a caring professor and you will definitely walk out the class with no less than a B . He teaches you a few new things about psychology and then even a few things about his life. If you're looking for a warm professor who says I love you eveyday, he's the guy.
Dr Holle makes psychology fun and teaches it in a way that students can relate to. He genuinely cares for each individual student and wants to see all of us learn in his class. If you put in quality work, you will get the grade you deserve in his class. Would definitely take a class with him again.
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.
I would definitely recommend Dr. Holle to anyone taking a psych class. If you take notes while he teaches, you will do just fine. If you do not do well, it was either a lack of study or participation. He tries to keep the subjects as entertaining as possible.
Had an amazing lecture from Holle last night about Rogers, my friends and I were still talking about it after class. Holle does have haters. They sit next to us and be on their cell phones the whole time complaining they don't learn anything or they're bored. Seriously? Holle's lectures are the most interesting I have ever had and learned a lot too
Honestly, he is my favorite professor. He makes the classroom as stress free of an environment as possible and really makes sure his students know the material. I took him for several Psychology courses and love his teaching style. Definitely recommend him!!!!
Holle is such an amazing professor! He cares so much about you and he literally wants to give you an A. You won't really want to miss class, but showing up is 5 bonus points. The hardest part of his class is probably the chapter quizzes which you can find the answers to online. Actually, he encourages you to look up the answers online!
Holle is a very good professor that cares about his students. He wants you to succeed and often gives extra credit. There are only three exams throughout the semester but you probably won't do well if you don't study. overall, he's great and i would take him again any day.
Holle is one of the most wonderful professors I have had in college so far. For e1 he teaches you more valuable info than the other professors will and makes sure you really understand the information. Gives extea credit. He cares a lot! He is funny, and makes the class fun. You won't regret taking him!
after a couple classes with him I have become bored of the silly jokes and same lectures. he doesn't answer his emails ever and although he acts caring towards students he still doesn't help.. don't take him if ur actually trying to learn.
Had to laugh when I read the review from a fellow student. I'm in the same position having to take Holle for a second time and hearing his same stories. But I forgot to do some of my quizzes and Its my own fault. He even warns us the day they are due and I still forgot. Its not Holle, hes a great teacher. Its hard to keep track of everything.
Easy course
Anyone in the psych department or even taking a class in psychology, Holle is the one to take! He is the most down to earth person and he is someone who actually cares not just as a student but as a person as well. He will make sure everyone in the class understands the topics discussed in class. You will not regret taking Holle, he is awesome!
Holle is the bomb. He is understanding and committed to his students and purpose with WPU. I participated in two classes of his and if I could I would take him again. He gets some of the toughest material across in an easy and painless manner. His E1 summer course was great prep for acing E2.
At first I thought Holle was kind of annoying and corny but as time went on I really started to value him as a professor. He cares about his students and likes to get to know each and every one of them. He makes class interesting but I haven't done very well on tests. Goes out of his way to help students get the best score possible
Do yourself a favor and take him. BUT.. don't forget to do the few assignments he asks you to do, and STUDY for at least the midterm. He cares about students so he will always help you if you are falling behind. Do the assignments and study for the midterm and you'll get an A. Please take him! he's awesome and so loving
Holle is a great professor. He ties in personal experiences to his lectures to make them more realistic for the students. He gives an opportunity for extra credit most days so it is in your best interest to try and make every class. The quizzes are on the textbook while the midterm and final are on the lecture notes. Show up and enjoy.
Best prof ever! Had him for Gen Psych. Easy grader, gives lots of extra credit, there are so many chances to get an A, fair grader! Best inspirational lectures, makes you laugh, makes you learn. Quizzes are easy, do study for exams. Easily accessible, easy to talk to, quick to answer email. You have Must take his classes!
small chapter quizzes on his site; easy point(s) every time you participate good review before exams even though he jokes/gets off track, we actually learn a lot
Holle is the best professor I have ever had. He truly cares about his students, and he will do everything in his power to help you pass. The textbook isn't used at all, and he tells you everything that will be on the tests. You get points for anything and everything. TAKE HIM!
Holle is such an amazing professor!! Super easy and he gives you participation points for just raising your hand and saying anything. Chapter quizzes are easy but you need to really pay attention during lectures for the midterm & final. Makes lectures interesting and loves interacting with students! Super funny. Take him if he's available!
Holle is an amazing Professor. If you take him for psy2300 (History and systems of psychology) he co teaches the class with Dr. Heinzen. They take turns each week doing the lecture & they are both amazing. Holle is hilarious & wants you to do well. Attendance IS mandatory!! Online chapter quizzes and both the midterm/final are online.
There's nothing else I can say besides I absolutely love Holle. I am telling you right now that if you are unsure about taking him, TAKE HIM. You will not regret this decision he is amazing and truly cares about the success of his students.
Holle is an awesome professor! He truly cares about his students! If you do what you have to do it is an easy A! He gives you work for extra credit. It was an easy and fun class! Textbook not mandatory which is a plus. He makes lectures very fun and he is the complete opposite of boring! Take any of his classes!
Holle is the best Professor. He cares so much for all his students and goes the extra mile to make sure everyone understands the material. You won't regret taking his class, he is caring and gives chances to get extra credit. E1 is a very difficult class that which is less painful with Holle. Taking him if you are lucky to get a spot in his class
Holle Is an amazing professor. He always remind you that the grade you have as of now is the grade you are working for. If you dont understand things he will explain it till you get it and he does not care how long it takes. Hes amazing at what he does and very understandable. J
I loved Professor Holle! He was my favorite professor. He is so funny and gives A LOT of extra credit. He works with his students and makes the best out of the 2 hours & 40 mins.
I laugh so much in his class!!!
Holle is one of the best professors at WPU. Even if you are not a psych major i highly suggest taking one of his classes! He's hilarious and genuinely wants everyone to get an A. Chapter quizzes are a little annoying but he makes up for it in so many other ways. Don't leave WPU without taking a course with him!
He is a good professor, he is funny and makes the class interesting. He gives a lot of extra credit. Overall, the class is easy and fun. I recommend taking it.
Holle is so hyper! My fellow students seemed to really love him but if you're low-energy like myself you may find yourself getting a little annoyed with his constant humor and loud voice. To be fair, he gave soo many extra cred opportunities and was very helpful in letting us know exactly what'd be on exams. He really cares for his students too.
He's a great teacher and an easy class to pass. All you gotta do is pay attention during lecture.
He will give lectures and a few powerpoint notes. You must memorize these or you will not pass the 2 tests that contribute to half of your grade.
Really made the class enjoyable. His lectures are based on will be on the midterm and final so must attend. After class, you also give in 5 points of things you learned from that lecture. Easy and will learn.
Dr. Holle will be the most amazing professor you will take at WPU. His lectures are entertaining to the point where I did not want them to end. He tells a ton of stories which help me remember details that we needed to know for the tests. TAKE THE TESTS or you won't pass! The midterm and final are hell thanks to the Co-profs.
His way of taking attendance is rolling a dice and if it lands on a 6 he gives credit that day.. if you miss one day in the semester and it landed on a 6 that day, you just lost 3% of your entire grade. He seems funny and great at first but if you go to ask him questions individually or for help, he will tell you to figure it out(hist&systems)
Best teacher you'll ever take, he is hilarious really cares about his students quizzes are all easy and the way he presents the material makes it soooo easy
Holle is the best! He was soooo helpful to us in our skit group staying after class to give us help. He gives random extra credit points if you are in class that day to reward class attendance. We would be there anyway just because it's HOLLE. Some don't understand the extra credit concept if you are not there that day you don't lose points lol.
Professor Holle is the realest professor you will encounter. His lectures are entertaining & informative. Although you are learning a lot of material he makes sure his students understand the content & helps them but you also have to show effort. He includes real life scenarios & not just putting #'s on a board. Make sure you study & ask questions!
Although he is nice and not a difficult teacher, he is very confusing. Half the time hes all over the place and he doesnt focus on one topic. He will often take up three classes to explain something that takes 15 minutes. Disappointed because my major is psych and I was expecting better things from this class.
Not being a psych major I didn't know much about the subject. But in just three weeks I am thinking about minoring in this because of his class. I have learned more in Holle's class than I have in any of my others. He writes down every term on the board and tells us what we need to know in our notes. Also, he's hilarious and everyone pays attention
Holle is the best professor I have ever taken at William paterson. He is very nice and he wants you to get a good grade. He helps you out with a lot of extra credit options. I highly recommend taking him!! Love him!!
HOLLE IS THE BEST!!! Experimental 2 (I took it in the summer), Holle is a GREAT professor, it was overwhelming for me, but Holle made everything so much easier than other professors do. He breaks the paper down in different parts, and lets you type it and hand it in and helps you a lot! HOLLE IS AMAZING! :)
Literally the best professor Ive ever had!! Took him for history of psych, and as someone who is bored by history he made it fun. Just a sweet guy over all and jokes through out the entire class. The textbook was needed but really easy to find online for free.
Best first year professor I ever had, if I could I would take the class all over again.
Holle is an amazing teacher! We call him "The Dude", Are you looking to get an "A"? Looking for a teacher who would be really fun? Look no more! My Dude is very entertaining! So when he makes you laugh everyday with jokes don't blame me lol!! You are missing out all the fun !!!! Take his class!!A guaranteed if you listen to his instruction! :)
AMAZING Professor. Easy and nice and cares for his students... DEF recommend, oh and call him "The Dude".
Dr. Holle is so easy but you need to attend his lectures to pass his exams. He loves telling stories about his life especially for the love he has for his wife which is so sweet. Do many SONA points and do ALL extra credit given! Also, go to his class early to earn points and hand in homework early to earn more points! This is an easy A!!!
Really popular about students. Cares for the students and gives you only the information on test, he tells you to write it down. Gives so many extra credit opportunities and divides the class into 4 tests, you can drop your lower grade. He even lets you use your phone and talk in class.

Easy grade and there are a lot of people in the class
I took Holle for E1 in the spring of 2020. It was my first semester at WPU & I haven't met a professor so passionate, caring, funny, and knowledgeable in a while. You will have a great time yet learn so many things. He made my first semester memorable. I have learned a lot and I am currently taking E2 and doing great thanks to Holle. TAKE HIM.
Professor Holle, aka "The Dude" is easily the best professor I've ever had. He cares about you, and he makes sure you know it too. If I could take him again, I would do it in a heartbeat. Take his class, even if you're not into psychology, because I PROMISE you that you will not regret it. And don't be afraid to reach out to him either! 100/10
the dude is great he is very nice and caring he also gives extra credit if you aren't a good test taker. He gives you time to do assignments so it doesn't run into other assignments and work.
Make sure you take the dude for every class can at William Paterson! He is empathetic, understanding and student oriented. He takes him time to make sure every person in his classes knows what is going on to the full extent, even if that means repetition. Be prepared to participate and hear some great stories!
if you have the chance to take the dude, do it you wont regret it! he is so caring and understanding and will help you out if you just communicate with him i had him for general psych and e1 and he gives out a lot of extra credit so take advantage of it. easy A if you just pay attention and participate
Holle, or "The dude" is one of the best Professors I've ever had at William Paterson. I have taken him for General Psych, History and Systems and now E1. Each time I've taken a class with him, he was very clear and concise and always more than willing to help you. He cares about his students, and you can tell he is passionate about teaching!
I highly recommend taking Holle, or the dude, for E1. Although the subject itself is a bit difficult, he makes it very easy. We take daily quizzes that go over previous lectures, and we go over it right after. He takes time to make sure everyone understands the material, he will not move on until everyone gets it. Lots of fun lectures, very sweet
The dude is single handedly the best professor I've had in my college career. He is super caring and helpful and really wants you to succeed. He made E1 easy to understand even the toughest of topics and if you do not understand the topic, he will take his time and explain it until you understand. If you want to have fun and learn, take him!
The dude creates a warm and safe learning environment. We have quizzes every class based on what we learned from the previous lecture. He builds upon the material effectively though which makes the quizzes and in-class assignments easy! A GEM!
If I could take this man again I would in a heartbeat. He is the best professor I have ever taken and the work is super easy; just pay attention and enjoy! Seriously makes the class so easy and entertaining. He is so personable and really does care about you as a student. Hes a total gem; the best guy ever!!
Most caring and respectful Professor you'll meet. One of the easiest and funniest classes, he made coming to class feel like a choice because it was that one class you'd look forward to being in. Would definitely have him again!!
Ive had Holle twice now and he makes class as enjoyable as possible. He cares about the students more than anything and really goes out of his way to make sure everyone is learning the material and is doing well in general. Holle gives all chances possible to get a good grade in his classes.
Easy going professor, kind, funny, and very helpful! I would definitely take this class again if I could
Prof Holle or the Dude as he likes to be called, is one of the funniest and laid back prof you will ever have. Does not care if you don't show up/leave early. Gives a ton of extra credit. You would have to go out of your way to fail his class. Really cares about his students success and is great at getting non psych majors interested in psych
The Dude is quite literally the best teacher i've had. He's the reason I fell in love with psychology and his class, it doesn't even feel like a chore to go to his class. His class is very lecture heavy but not too hard, he's very laid back and if you need help he will definitley help you in a heartbeat. We love Holle!
I took PSY110 with The Dude during the peak of covid which didn’t stop his ways of teaching I was eager to learn from him I had the feeling of wanting to absorb every piece of information. I wish I took class with him sooner I would have followed through with a psychology minor.
The Dude is a fantastic professor. Once you become one of his students you will forever be a student of his. He will always be there to help you out in any way he can! His lessons keep you intrigued and his personality is the cherry on top. Definitely recommend taking class with him.
He is an extremely understanding person, literally the nicest human being ever. I HIGHLY recommend taking the dude. I've taken two of his classes and will continue if possible. No joke he is here to help his students no matter what, GREAT GREAT GREAT
He is a very caring teacher and want the best for his students.
The daily quizzes matter, its given at the beginning of class, and he goes over the questions after the quiz has been submitted. Taking notes is not mandatory unless you would like to pass the class.
I have taken Holle three times now, and I have learned more from him than any professor at WPU. He has a completely different way of teaching - but in a way that you are able to understand the material. He will not move on until every person understands. But you must attend class - this is not something that you can pass just by going on quizlet.
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.
He is the best professor ever. I love you dude
Easy A! Take this professor to boost your GPA! You make your grade with easy quizzes and extra credit.
Holle is an amazing professor. I really recommend taking him. you wont regret it
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.
The best professor that I have ever taken! Holle is such a great professor who truly cares about his students. Make sure you attend class and take notes and you will succeed! He supports his students and really works to see his students do well. 10/10! The best professor around!
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.
The dude is one of the best professors I've ever had. He is patient, caring, and kind. He cares about his students, and he doesn't continue until everybody understands everything. He explains well and tells great stories. If you have the opportunity to take him, you should not think it twice.
The dude is the coolest professor ever he actually want his students to understand the course and does really care about us academically if you hate math and would love to take a professor who breaks it down for you to really understand then take this professor he is so amazing!!! I'm even taking his E2 class over the summer.
LOVE Holle. Each person is respecting and appreciated within his lecture hall, and I genuinely felt as though my presence mattered. Truly a unique and amazing experience, probably the best professor I've ever had.
One of the best professors ever! He makes learning fun and interesting.
Best professor I have ever had in my life.
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.
Super good professor, explains material in a digestible manner. Goes off tangent sometimes, but we always end up reviewing a lot of material in each class, so it's a good balance.
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!!!
Professor Holle is a very kind and caring professor that cares about his students. He allows us to do extra credit assignments and his exams are online and not too difficult if you study and pay attention in class. I highly recommend him!
I loved Holle so much. He is one of the most caring professors I have ever had. He loves his students and is passionate about psychology. If I could take his class again I 1000% would.
Holle was so sweet and fun. I barely went to class but he still gave me lots of extra credit because he seen how hard I was working in his class. Would def take him again
Great professor and I recommend this professor to anyone that run across his name.
What an amazing professor. He cares about his students and makes class enjoyable. if you come across his name take his class!! You would be silly to not take his class. His class is like a breeze of fresh air.
I had this professor for multiple classes. Work included Online Discussions, Group Projects, Quizzes at the start of class, Textbook reading, essays, research, presentations, class participation, etc There was also a lot of opportunities for extra credit or making-up, as well as some leniency with grading and submissions. Funny and fun lectures.
Holle is a great dude, I love his teaching style, he break things down so you can understand. If you need to take E1 I highly recommend taking it with the dude.
Holle is hands down one of the best professors I've had. He makes the material easy to understand, even for those who struggle with math. Definitely use unstuckstudy ai and attend every class to succeed. Highly recommend taking this course with him!
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.
- very interesting - cool dude - look forward to going to class - He's very fun and talks about his lovely wife Sarah, love her life !!!
He is great, personable, & teaches content in a fun way.
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.
Amazing and truly cares for his students. different from other professors. i took him for three classes because he is just the best.
in all honesty if he didn't offer experimental 1 statistics I probably would have failed out by now. When visiting during office hours he was able to clarify premises in statistics that would have caused me heavy amounts of confusion if taught by other professors.
Dr. Holle's class for Experimental Psychology is one of the best courses on campus at William Paterson University. I am so thankful for how much he cares about his students. I have struggled learning all throughout my education and Dr. Holle's class gave me the opportunity to learn in a safe environment without feeling anxious. He is AMAZING!!
I took this online so it was a lot of videos to watch and simple multiple-choice quizzes about the videos. Easy grader and gives opportunity to make extra-credit points.
