Great teacher with great practice tests. I had a great time in class. A goofy nice guy.
I loved this class, it was great. Hollich is a great teacher and I look forward to having him again! :)
I really enjoyed the class. He was soo funny and made everything so much more likeable.
one of the best psychology professor i had he gets thumbs up
so fun in the classroom! and he knows his stuff. really good about keeping people informed on lectures and everything online. really sweet guy with a cute new baby boy :)
Great teacher--really makes sure his students know what is going on within the course. Very willing to help and makes a 7:30 am class not so bad!
If you have George as a teacher, consider yourself very lucky. He's a really fun, entertaining, enthusiastic guy, who is clearly passionate about what he teaches. It's rare you find a teacher this good these days. He's just as entertaining at 7:30am as he is at 6:00pm.
Self-absorbed twit.
Now this is a great professor! Motivated, interested and interesting! He sang and danced his was through child development, and he even brought home videos to illustrate points!
Great Professor! He is truly interested in what he is teaching and it shows through his lectures! They are interesting, funny, and entertaining, even at 7:30 in the morning! I would highly recommend taking one of his courses! :)
Excellent teacher!
He was a good professor and REALLY energetic at 7:30 in the morning.
He has alot of passion in his class. He make child psychology fun and intersting. You should really consider taking his class if you are intersted in child psychology. P.S he got two very cute son's and you will get to see alot of viedos and pictures about them in class =)
I took this course online and it was amazing. I had to listen to one hour of lecture material a week, take an easy quiz, followed by an easy exam. The exam focuses on mastery of vocabulary and common sense. The amount of time you put into this class is fair; your grade will reflect how much you study.
Dr. Hollich is a great teacher, he has so much passion for the subject and is always willing to help. This class is easy if you pay attention and study, projects are easy too!
One of the best professors i've ever had! DEFINITELY get him if your taking child psych
Amazing! Fun, quirky, and during a 7:30 class, keeps you awake with silly songs about the material! Truly passionate about the material and it's evident!
Dr. Hollich is a really good professor. He cares about his students and he is very entertaining. The exams were mildly difficult but homework assignments were super easy and you get attendance/participation points pretty much every day.
BEST CLASS at Purdue University. Hands down best professor here. He cares about his students and has endless knowledge. If you have to choose between another professor and him, I would definitely choose Professor Hollich. Great guy!
I loved having class with him! He can make almost anything seem interesting with his examples and songs. Go to class because he has little attendance points that can add up and help your grade in the end. He even lets you choose to retake one exam if you don't like the grade you got.
He's an amazing professor and keeps everyone entertained throughout the entire lecture.
I took Child Psychology online. It was basically his recorded lectures, which were very humorous and fun to listen to. The only grades we had were from class discussions online, chapter quizzes, and three simple papers.
I had this professor for Psych 120 and I can honestly say he was one of my favorites; he makes learning entertaining, he doesn't expect much out of class work besides showing up when he gives the quizzes, and he is a fair grader. Overall wonderful professor. Text book was also written by him and is cheap.
His recorded lectures are very entertaining and informative! He will sing and use different voices. The exams aren't hard, and the material is easy to learn.
He is a great professor and you can easily understand the material. He makes up songs and slides that make it easy to learn. I really enjoy his class and the best part is if you miss something all of his lectures are all recorded. He makes you laugh at least once or twice every lecture, and that is pretty impressive for a psychology lecture.
He is by far my favorite professor so far. Even if you just take the class just because, he will make learning psychology fun (because it is!). He will sing to you and tell you exactly what to study before your weekly quizzes which are usually 5-6 questions. I would take his classes tens times over.
My favorite professor ever. You can tell her knows what he's talking about and cares about it. He also cares about the class and how well they do even though its a huge lecture hall. His way of teaching is very easy to listen to and be engaged with. He uses real life examples and makes difficult terms easy to understand.
Someone mentioned that he's self-absorbed, can't say I don't agree. Just take one class with him and you'll understand. At the beginning of the year he went around and sold his own textbook personally, collecting cash in plain sight. If I could retake this class I would take it online instead.
One of the best teachers I've ever had! Class is mostly lectures followed by a quiz at the end of each chapter. Thankfully if you do happen to miss a class all his lectures are online. Another good thing he is really good at keeping you engaged and makes the class fun! Also super helpful if you go to him to ask questions.
Best guy ever. Really good lectures. PSY 120 is a very easy class to get an A in. A lot of the things we are learning is focused on child psych for some odd reason. The textbook we have is a small book that costs $10 written by him. Don't bother buying it if you go to lecture.
I loved Psych 120. Dr. Hollich is absolutely amazing!! He's so nice and he really cares about his students. You don't even have to attend lectures. He puts them all online and you can get your participation points that way. We asked to take the final 2 weeks early and he let us. He's giving us an optional final for finals week. Take it for a easy A
Took forever to grade things for the online class.
He is hilarious and consistently makes lectures fun and interesting. He seems to create his own song for every lecture and keeps the class loose and fun.
Good professor, attendance is non-mandatory but participation points are taken during class. He also likes to sing some of the lectures instead of speaking them. :)
By far the best professor I have had so far. Hollich is not only a really nice guy, but he is hilarious. His lectures are so entertaining. I chose to go to class because I want to, not because I have to. You are supposed to buy a book for this class, but honestly you don't need the book at all. He gives you all the material in class lectures.
One of the truly exceptional classes I've ever taken. Despite that this class was an easy A, I really learned a lot. Professor Hollich's assigned assignments were very tied to real life, which was really nice. I especially appreciated th book he wrote for this class which, while have very few pages for a college class textbook, is all you'll need.
Easiest class I have taken and probably will ever take in college. That being said, I still learned a lot of interesting things and enjoyed the class and the professor immensely.
Easy class. Funny and entertaining. Isn't very personal though.
He is super humorous and his quiz and exams are pretty easy! His very considerate, e.g.: he put lecture slides and important points before every quiz and exam! He is my favorite professor this semester!Note: He even give extra credits up to 5%!
Best guy ever!! If this guy is available, take it with him.
Take psy120, easy A and no homework at all! Readings can help but not necessary if you just want to pass the class.
Most interesting class I've ever had. Literally learn some thing. Absolutely recommend his class to other students.
The best proffoser I've had in Purdue so far. I've learned so much from him. Also, easy A
George tries to teach using unconventional methods (singing sometimes). This is great because he manages to make not so interesting topics interesting. Don't forget extra credit opportunities and post in Hotseat if you want a good grade.
Dr. Hollich's lectures were interesting and made me look forward to attending class. He is an amazing professor and made learning the content fun by incorporating song into his lectures. He is passionate about teaching (and singing), and also cares for his students.
He is probably the best professor Ive ever had. He makes lecture so enjoyable with his awesome examples and oringal lyrics to songs. The best experience of my life was when he rode past me on his razor scooter! He is very approachable and he made an intro class seem super cool.
George Hollich is the jewel of Purdue. He is so much fun in class and has a passion for what he teaches. He is also very understanding if you need to miss class or turn an assignment in late. Also, catch him on his razor scooter around campus, it's quite an experience to watch.
He is a nice and funny professor for lectures. No homework at all, at least for my class. the Lectures are easy to follow and the slides are all very detailed. Quizes are easy and tests are so.
Had Hollich for 235 and he was great but not in PSY336. Class is issues in child development but we haven't talked about it once. Entire class is two big group projects with papers. No exams but really into comparative grading. Lose points easily and not many chances to get points in the first place. Has no idea what he wants but will dock you.
Lectures themselves do not provide much new material, but presentation is riveting enough to compensate! Classes laced with musical numbers, videos, and photography of his own children. Lecture recordings accessible, very little homework given. A bit slow to reply to emails, and research credits are annoying. Overall, charismatic! A real gem!
BEST PROFESSOR AT PURDUE! TAKE HIM YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTMENT! I had him my first semester at Purdue and he got me excited about learning here. Class wasn't mandatory but I still showed up because of how much I enjoyed him and his lectures. He clearly has a passion for teaching and psychology.
Dr. George Hollich is such a great professor. He is very engaging in class and always tries to make us laugh. He runs the class very smoothly, at a nice pace, and all the actives we do are very purposeful and helpful. Dr. Hollich sings to us, shows us adorable videos of his kids, and rides his scooter into class. To sum it up, he is a pure soul.
It might just help since I really enjoy psychology, but I think he definitely makes the class super interesting. He knows his stuff really well so he doesn't have to recite off of slides, and is constantly engaging. P.S. Be prepared for him to sing
The best professor Ive ever had. His material is clear and entertaining. Its easy to actually learn the material while enjoying it rather than being stressed about passing exams. If you try by going to lecture to listen, doing the few home-works, and read the short chapters, you will pass.
Very passionate and enthusiastic professor, he even sings in class.
Hollich is a great professor. I had him for Child Psychology, and this was an easy course. He made the lectures entertaining and very conversational so it wasn't boring (except that it was a little slow paced.) There weren't any exams and most of the grades were from attendance, homework, and short answers/essays.
Coming to class allows for up to 10 extra credit points at the end of the semester. He mixes up the lectures by including videos and songs. There is some textbook reading, but if you show up to class, it will be discussed. You will still need to do the online questions though. Make sure to do the SONA research credits in order to pass the class.
Makes lectures fun, not a lot of work, and no exams just 3 papers and 3 assignments
Engaging and interesting professor. The only thing you need to do to pass is go to class. Plus he has a great singing voice.
One of the best professors I have ever had. I would take a class just to have him as my professor again. The material itself is interesting but he takes it to a whole new level with his enthusiasm and singing. I recommend this course to anybody and wish I could take it again.
His 336 class is unbelievable messy. It does not seem like he has any idea with what he wants to do with the course. He is a really cool guy though and one of my favorite professors.
Great guy. Loves to make class interesting by singing and has a very enthusiastic attitude. You can get lots of points just by going to class, and definitely start on doing studies as early as possible.
Best. Professor. Ever. Period.
BEST PROF EVER AT PURDUE :))))
George Hollich is the best professor you will ever have. He is so passionate in his teaching and work. His lectures are interesting and the best part - HE SINGS!
This is the easiest class. Show up get your attendance code then leave. Attendance is 30% of your grade so just get the code from someone. I studied the day of for both exams and did great. George is great and super chill and he sings which is awesome
Dr. Hollich is the nicest person to every walk this Earth. Material taught is super easy. Lectures are fun (he sings a lot). Homework is simple. A lot of in class participation activities (so go to class or you'll lose a lot of easy points). Quizzes go off lecture & homework. Papers we write are easy and have clear criteria.
Literally the best professor I've ever had. He's so much fun and engaging, and you never feel bored in his classes because he presents materials and concepts in such a unique way. No exams, do the homework and open-book quizzes and a few papers. I would take this class all over again if I could.
Great teacher, good lectures.
Dr. Hollich is a super interesting professor and tries to make his class fun, but it is an extremely boring class and very messy. The grading expectations are not very clear however the class is very easy and after not paying attention in class at all an A+ is very attainable because you just have to show up to class and do well on the essays.
Uses online textbook and homework all really easy. No exams just projects that are not hard. He uses top hat for attendance so you need that code for attendance points. Really fun professor who makes lectures less boring.
Exams are easy, with minimal studying. His lectures are entertaining and he is genuinely passionate about the subject. You most likely won't ever need to go to office hours, but he's open to you going just to talk about his research. He also sings opera about psychology sometimes.
Writes his own textbook with local vernacular (easy to read).
I love Dr. Hollich. He is so funny and so caring. He's very understanding about needing to miss class for any reason (I took his class when COVID was first happening and we were sent home in March). His lectures are fun, he sings to you, and his lectures cover everything you need for exams. 11/10 recommend!!
Great professor. Easy quizzes and test. All the students can tell he loves to teach. Least stressful class I have ever taken.
This man deserves the world. He is so easy and he will sing to you during class. We had no exams this semester and could redo any quiz questions that we got wrong (all open note). Do the work and you get an easy A.
Hes a great guy and does a good job of making course material interesting. Just do the weekly assignments and quizzes and youll be fine. Also, skim reading the online textbook is really helpful.
Buckle up and get ready to listen to this amazing man sing during lectures. He makes the lectures interesting and kids retain things from them because he relates them to things. It isn't just learning. This was by far my favorite class and I am doing nothing with psych in the future. This is the professor you want. Actually do tophat and SONA.
Dr. Hollich is a great professor and an even better person! With no exams, no hard deadlines, and lenient grading criteria, earning an A in PSY 235 is extremely easy.
Professor Hollich was the best. Each week you have a module to complete, which consists of a chapter reading, discussion questions, completing a quiz, participation questions, and taking the time to look up research articles. The modules do take awhile to complete and he requires you to put in effort for his short answers.
I loved this class. Professor Hollich is amazing. Due dates are guidelines and you can easily earn extra credit. Honestly, if you don't pass this class then that's your own fault because it's designed for you to succeed. This was the most caring and fun professor I've had.
Best professor I've ever had! He is nice and funny. This semester we had open-note quizzes instead of regular exams, and you can find exact answers to most questions. If you finish your work properly, you are bound to succeed. He also offered a lot of late credits and extra credits. The difficulty is equivalent to a high school class.
Professor Hollich did all he could to make this class possible to complete this semester. He made sure to inform students that if they needed more time, they can just email him. He is such a nice professor and I would totally take another class from him. As long as you read through the weekly chapter and complete the questions, you are good.
PSY120 was the easiest class I've ever been in. I didn't watch the lectures and just did the homework every week and got an A. Also no exams!
I love Dr. Hollich, especially when he sings to us. He is a very great professor and I learned a lot from his class.
Such a good professor. He sometimes sang during lectures and made this class super entertaining. Make sure to actually try on discussion posts because you have to go above and beyond for an A.
Loved having his class. there was a live stream which made it easier to learn and just relax in my dorm.
Dr. Hollich has all assignments due on Sundays and you don't have to attend lectures. Just do the assignments on TopHat and you're fine.
Genuinely one of the most fun professors I had. You'd think the content might be boring, but his class is so engaging and he's such an enthusiastic professor ii's hard to not take notice or want to try. He sings too! Such a mood booster and makes learning fun. Easy A - open-note homework "quizzes" and no exams, just some easy papers.
Super friendly and enthusiastic, used tophat for online textbook and homework submission which was very easy to use, up to date, and you could read and complete assignments ahead of time.
There were no exams when I took this class just quizzes that were open notes and homework that required a little bit of thought. He sings in class and makes parodies so that things are easier for the students to remember and I think he likes the preforming arts a lot. The SONA credits take a while to get so the best advice is to get started early.
Hollich had the most interesting and entertaining lectures. The workload was ok, a bit tedious, mostly a lot of writing. The only odd thing about this class is that for a lot of the questions your answer is grades on how much effort you put in, in comparison to other students.
Prof. Hollich made lecture really interesting and fun. I loved the songs he performed during class. The material is organized well and easy to complete. As long as you put effort in, you will get a good grade. You can tell he is passionate about what he teaches. Make sure you write a sufficient amount for your responses to the lecture questions.
Professor Hollich is a great professor for PSY240 - Intro to Social Psych for multiple reasons: 1. very organized and manageable homework and assignments 2. no formal tests, only open-note online quizzes 3. offers a live lecture option 4. lectures are related to the material + entertaining 6. will help you get your grade up 7. flexible due dates
Dr. Hollich is the best. He is very charismatic and is very invested in his class and his lectures. He makes the lectures very interesting and fun to attend. PSY120 with him was the easiest class in the world. No exams, only online homework/quizzes which were all open book/note. 100% recommend Dr. Hollich and his PSY120 sections.
Dr. Hollich is someone who shows a lot of passion in the field of Psychology. His lectures aren't mandatory, but I still went anyway because he made it look very interesting. He's someone who gives off a lot of good and positive energy. The class itself is very easy and manageable.
Dr. Hollich is really funny and I enjoyed his lectures! It seems as if he grades on length and not content, which can be good or bad depending on how you look at it. He's a great person and is very helpful!
He is such a nice guy! I have so much respect for him and he made learning fun! I think that he is so positive and interactive with the class. He sometimes even sings to you which is really special.
Amazing prof, most fun I've had in lecture. Easy A if you do the work.
Dr. Hollich was tied for my favorite prof of Fall Semester. It is obvious that he cares about his students' success and offers redos on assignments until the last day of the semester. No exams, two papers. Not demanding at all. He is passionate and very accessible. I took this course for my major, but I recommend it as a filler too.
Professor Hollich's class was probably the easisest i've ever taken, but I still felt that I learnt a lot.
I love Dr. Hollich and I took him for both PSY 235 and 240. He is a fantastic lecturer and so interesting to listen to. The only problem with the class is the TAs make all of the assignments, so the workload depends on them. You may get lucky and have very little work or you could get screwed over and have 4 short essays a week, depends on the TA.
Dr.Hollich is an amazing professor. He made songs up in class and would sing to us. He is super caring and you can tell he has a lot of passion for what he does. When I took his class attendance was not mandatory but I still went.
This was one of my favorite classes I've taken so far. His class was very well paced and it was very easy to understand what homework I needed to get done and how to get a good grade. He's also super nice and if you get the chance try to talk to him after class he is super kind and nice.
Fantastic teacher, would take more classes with him if I was a psych major. He is very easygoing and understanding, makes lectures fun, gets his students to engage with the material and is an easy grader. Easy A, the entire class grade consisted of weekly homework assignments, weekly discussion post, and a quiz that was open book.
I had Dr. Hollich for Child Psych, and I loved the class! Since he wrote his textbook, it is fun to read because it sounds like his lectures. He does a great job of breaking down concepts, and his lectures are engaging. I feel like I retained a lot of what I learned too. Very worth going to class!
The GOAT!
the absolute goat bless up
Super easy class and no tests or final exams. He is also super funny and easy to pay attention to in lectures.
The best professor ever! Dr. Hollich is super sweet, funny, and kind; he is very understanding if you need extensions on work, and it is quite literally impossible to fail his class unless you are trying to do so. A heads up is that he makes you pay for a website that has his textbook and hw and quiz questions so don't buy the textbook before class
Not enough words to describes how amazing Professor Hollich is. He is the most caring, understanding, and kind professor I have ever had. He makes lectures very fun and interesting. Very easy A. He gives no tests, only weekly homework and quizzes. The course is very well organized. Highly recommend this class with Professor Hollich!!
The class is pretty easy. He has a zoom option for all the lectures and there really is no attendance other than completing questions on tophat. The lectures are also accessible after the class online. There are also no exams and the quizzes online are all directly from the textbook. You get 2 attempts per question to get it right.
I always looked forward to Professor Hollich's class because of his upbeat mood and his clear passion for psychology. There were no exams, which made finals much less stressful.
Dr. Hollich is a great professor. His grading policy is very relaxed and there are no exams, which made the class very low-stress. Easy A as long as you do the work.
I had the pleasure of taking a course with Professor George Holich and it was a great experience. He was very easy to talk to and always willing to help. He made sure that everyone in the class understood the material and provided extra resources if needed. He genuinely cared about his students and their success.
As a freshman, this class seemed intimidating due to the class size. However, this easily became my favorite class. Attendance is optional due to the online live streams George provides. There are no exams and all quizzes are online. Dr. George makes class fun and goes above and beyond for his students!
Honestly just the best professor, he's super sweet and helpful and the class isn't too hard at all.
George is an amazing prof! He truly cares about his students and he is very excited about psychology, which helps to pay attention during lectures. As long as you do the work, you shouldn't have to worry much about this class!
Took his class in the Summer 2020 and it was super easy class. He makes you buy the textbook he wrote himself which makes the assignments super easy. I also never went to lecture starting about halfway though and got a B+.
NO EXAMS! There are research experiments you will be a part of and there is a quiz for every chapter but they are extremely easy. Attend the lectures just because he is very good at engaging students and providing them with fun lecture experiences! My favorite professor so far!
Dr. Hollich is simply the best! He is easily the best professor I've had in my 3 years here, won that by a landslide. He knows the way students learn best and caters his curriculum, leading to no exams at all, replaced by weekly quizzes that help reinforce ideas better. Next sem I switched to a different PSY course just because he'll be teaching it
This was such a fun class to take! Dr. Hollich explained the material well and was super engaging. No tests, just completion of the chapters, a written assignment every other week, and a weekly quiz that's open note. You could go in person but he also offered Zoom which was helpful during the Winter.
Most easygoing and fun professor at purdue.
EASIEST CLASS EVER! No final, no tests, only TopHat quizzes that allow you to have two chances on every question. The reading questions are also very easy. He gives out the attendance code so you can receive credit without attending. Easiest class of my college career, definitely take this!
Dr. Hollich has been one of the best professors I've had and his class is so easy going. He makes lectures fun and the textbook is a straight to the point read that he wrote himself. Also no exams, just weekly quizzes! Assignments are pretty easy but there is some writing, and attendance gives extra credit but even without it it's worth going.
Hollich is undoubtedly a gem. Provides a well-written, accessible textbook that explores concepts in sufficient depth without becoming unpalatable; a dynamic lecturer full of exaggerated examples, great jokes and the occasional song. Course is w/o exams at the cost of being highly involved w/ respect to writing. Fair grader and exceptionally kind.
Dr. Hollich is simply a gem among Purdue's instructors. PSY120's topics are quite elementary, however, his lectures were never boring. It's clear that he wants everyone that takes his class to not only succeed, but maintain a foundational knowledge of psychology that helps to unify.
he sings
Easy-going professor Loved his class
Dr. Hollich combined his skills in both teaching and singing to create fun musical parody performances that related to the topics that were being taught in the lecture. On top of that, he is a gentle grader, meaning that if you participate and do your homework to the best of your ability, you will likely end up with a good grade in the class.
Dr. Hollich is a true gem. He is so kind and fun and often sings in class. There are no exams, just assignments and quizzes on TopHat. The textbook is written by him which makes it a lot easier to read. Attendance is not mandatory, and there is the option to attend class via Zoom. He is just the best
I wish I could put so many more than just three positive tags on this! He knows how to make information I wouldn't have ever learned about otherwise or that may otherwise be confusing and explains things in very accessible and fun ways that will definitely make you remember them, despite not having exams. I genuinely look forward to his class!!
Awesome professor. Chillest class ever.
Wonderful professor and wonderful classes!
Be prepared for lots of singing during lectures. Hollich is amazing at keeping the class engaging and all the content is super easy to follow along with. You do have assignments every week, but they're pretty simple and don't take that long to complete. Attendance isn't necessary as long as you complete the online portion during class time
Great professor. Lecture was engaging, but is not really necessary to go to if you have a half-decent grasp on psychology already. Bonus points if you go to every lecture. For those in the honors college, the contract assignments for this class were easy. The work you get for the week can easily be done in an afternoon, and you can work ahead.
I LOVED George. He sings to the class during some lectures and it is so fun to be in the same room as him. All of his course is ran through TopHat so the textbook is pretty much in it. Overall it was my favorite class to go to.
Dr. Hollich was the best professor I had this semester. He is super engaging, and going to lectures was actually fun, and I looked forward to it. Although, lectures are not mandatory, and you can join his zoom instead if you can't make it to class, and still receive attendance points. Very lenient on due dates as well.
Funny and good professor
Dr. Hollich's class was the highlight of my week (academically speaking). He treats the class with (occasionally) singing the content and the course material and quizzes are easy to do well. Also, there's no final exam.
This class is the easiest class ive taken yet at Purdue, Dr. Hollich is such a caring and sweet man and he wants everyone to get an A in his class. This class is so easy to get an A in if you put in minimal effort and most things are graded solely on completion. I finished with an A without doing 2/3 of the big assignments he gives in the class.
You can tell he loves what he does. He is very engaging and a very lenient grader.
GOAT!
Professor Hollich was AMAZING. He gives tons of different options for watching lectures. He does a great job of making things engaging. Definitely take his class if you have the opportunity.
Dr. Hollich is funny, charismatic, and a great lecturer! He covers relevant information, has fun and interesting projects, and has NO EXAMS.
Dr. Hollich is outstanding. He is so charismatic, kind, and is extremely engaging. Definitely take his classes if you can. As long as you complete the coursework it is an easy A, and it is one of the most interesting classes you will take. I had so much fun in his psych class.
He was my first professor of college, and he was genuinely one of the sweetest instructors I've ever had in my educational career. He cares for all of his students, and is extremely enthusiastic with psychology and learning more. Also no exams!
I recommend all students to take his course once, it is very interesting and the course is very simple. He is a very good professor.
No exams! Although you don't need to attend class, I still do simply because I would feel bad for no one to attend class. Hollich is entertaining and has interactive slides. It is super easy you just have to make sure you participate online in order to receive credit (super easy hw).
Literally just an amazing person all around. He is so passionate about what he does, no exams, just a guy happy to show up to class everyday. Take every class you can with him
Professor Hollich makes this class fun and engaging. The material is accessible thanks to his creative teaching methods. I found Unstuck ai very helpful for study prep alongside the textbook.
hes a funny guy
LOVE HIM! He is so funny and keeps each lecture engaging. Will get a good grade if you do the bare minimum. Take this class if you need a filler!!
He's a great professor and always makes lectures very easy to follow. In Fall '24 at least he had an asynchronous format to the class even if you had in person lectures. You actively have to go out of your way to NOT get at least a B. I put maybe 45 mins a week into the class and got an A no problem.
He is very passionate about the topic, to the point where he creates and sings songs about the topics. The homework and papers are very easy. There are no tests. He always records lectures, so you can watch outside of class.
Hollich is incredible, can't say enough good things about how his class is run. He cares about not only his students but also the material he teaches. Not a harsh grader and gives plenty of opportunity for makeup work and bonus.
This class was so easy and Professor Hollich is really good. The only thing that I did struggle with was keeping up with the weekly reading and quizzes because I did the class remotely. But I ended up getting it all done at the end and Hollich is a pretty easy grader. The three assignments are all really easy too and graded easy as well. Easy A+.
He is the best professor I have ever had! super engaging and funny lectures, had him at 730 and he made me want to go to class, even though attendance is not mandatory. The paper is kind of hard but if you follow guidelines it's not bad. exams are kind of hard but just study. he is very passionate and so thoughtful. take him if you can
He was amazing
Bless this man! Prof Hollich is the most passionate and dedicated professor I have ever seen teach at Purdue. He genuinely cares about your learning and goes above and beyond to make sure you get a grade that you are happy with. He is the most understanding with students and wish him all the best. My experience in Purdue was better thanks to him
Great teacher
One of the best professors. The course was fun and easy, and on top of that, he's very passionate about the subject. He is nice and approachable, and very funny.
Great professor, super engaging and even sings in class. He wrote the textbook we used, which made me respect him even more. Was the first class I took here at Purdue, and made me know psychology was the way to go. A lot of homework involves reading and discussions online. Get ready for some busy work, but an overall great time.
I dropped the course later in the semester since I realized I didn't need it and I procrastinated too hard, but Dr. Hollich is definitely an awesome instructor. He creates a comfortable environment at his lectures and a lot of the class is graded on participation/completeness. Very respectable and likable teacher.
Prof Hollich is amazing. I took PSY 120 with him, and I loved it so much that I made sure to take PSY 235 with him as well. He is engaging and fun; it is clear he loves what he does. The 3 assignments are super easy, and he is an easy grader. I got a 100% on everything. There is a bit of work/reading, but it is easy and engaging.
7:30 AM lectures are not mandatory, as they're available via Zoom. He's a very nice guy who's easily accessible outside of class. As long as you do the bare minimum, you will pass.
He is literally such a chill professor. He is so funny and a very sweet guy.
Trust me guys if you are taking psy 120 get it with Hollich, even if it is at 7:30. All my friends that had different professors for psy 120 had exams but Hollich did not give us one singular exam. He also records every lecture so you do not have to worry about making it to the lecture. Homework was very straightroward.
No exams, but lots of discussion boards. All assignments are online and lectures are recorded. Attendance is not mandatory, just have to do the participation discussions. Few midterm essays, but rubric is clear and graded mostly on completion. Lots of writing discussions. Professor sings in lectures sometimes. Would highly recommend.
Loved professor hollich! Super caring guy you can just tell he's passionate about what he teaches. Homework and quizzes are super easy, attendance isn't mandatory so I stopped going after the first week. Everything is online through the textbooks. I recommend going though as he's such a cool prof! Make sure to do your SONA projects early!
