He is an awesome teacher. there are 4 test and he only counts 3. the final is cumalitive but they are direct qustions from the other test. he keeps all of his students entertained and even throws candy out during tests. i would def. recommend him

The Maxwell text is a little preachy at times, but other than that, MGT 301 was awesome. Holbein is a very passionate, very good teacher (even if he does remind me of Dr. Phil.) I would highly reccommend his class.

Sincere, genuine, smart, funny, very helpful.

Best Professor you could ask for! He's helpful, knowledgeable, experienced, and awesome professor.

Very easy class. Holbein drops the lowest exam grade. If you do well on the first 3 exams you dont have to take the final. Easy class!

He seems to be a real nice guy...makes the class actually interesting and he lets you take best 3 of 4 test scores.

Great class! Really talk about real life issues and the tests are cake. He drops your lowest test so you don't have to take the final if you do well on the other exams!

A college student's dream teacher.

Awesome guy. Funny, down to Earth. Tells you exactly what to study. Easy A, and no final!

GOOD, INTERESTING PROFESSOR. Doesn't make you buy an expensive theoretical textbook either. Teaches based on real-life experience. Once again, TAKE HIM if you have to take MGT301. GOOD PROFESSOR.

$15 text book. Lots of common sense, deceptively easy sounding but exams harder. If you don't goto class, you wont get the notes and you wont do well on the exams. Class has a lot of "lists" and seems like it isn't very technical but it is VERY helpful. Don't come in late to an exam or you're screwed on the makeup. Great class and teacher.

Probably the easiest class at UK if you don't skip. Tests are straight from lecture and the book is $15. The questions on the tests are the most fair questions I have ever seen in my life. Definitely a class that will pad your GPA.

I really enjoyed this class. He presents a lot of applicable situations for after graduation job seeking. He has his moments, and if you take the class you will know what I am talking about. Go to office hours before the final exam because it is cumulative. He drops your lowest test grade. EASY!!

great teacher. Really helped focus on the language needed at the next level. Text is cheap, but relevant and something you can always relate back to. Highly recommended.

If you can't pass this class quit college!!! He is a great teacher, completly crazy but good!!!

Awesome laid back dude. Makes class interesting and has a very fun, unique teaching style. You can not go to any class except the review session and test days and get an A. However, you might enjoy going to his class. Definitely recommended!!!

Dr. Holbein is a great professor. His class is entertaining, educational, and very personal. He is especially helpful with career planning. His teaching is contemporary and subjective. I highly reccomend him and any class that he is teaching. His subjects are very real and you can relate the ideas to his class in just about anything that you do.

Great professor! He is very clear and the notes are easy to take. He doesn't believe in huge textbooks so you just use quotes from a little black inspirational book. BUT the catch is that you MUST show up to every class. The class notes are only given during the class and nowhere else. As long as you take good notes you should be golden.

easy. interesting class. Easy A or B. one of the best profs @ UK

I swear some days I think he is making up the class as he goes along. He's still interesting and explains things well. Goes through the test material the class before so you know exactly what to study.

Holbein is my favorite professor at UK. He is a great guy and he genuinely cares about his students. He is passionate about what he does, and keeps his students a priority. He claims to be an ally and help you if you have problems. Great teacher!

Holbein is an excellent teacher. Informative, and all of the class is designed for real-life. He eschews what he calls "boring, formula-heavy, textbook stuff." My only complaint is that the "textbook" is actually a small self-help book about management, and the test questions based on it are word-for-word quotations that are easy to miss.

You'll get an A or B if you at least try. Very enlightening class that teaches management principles and relates them to real world examples from the Wall Street Journal. I left this class feeling like I really learned something I could use. Take this class if possible.

He is a great teacher and I want to take him again for another class

Holbein is the best. He is extremely personable, and he is very passionate about what he is teaching, which makes students care as well. I am so sad that I won't be able to have him again!

Holbein is an amazing teacher!He is very passionate about what he teaches. The class is inspirational and motivating. I wish I was a MGT major, I would take every class he teaches. Overall, the class was easy, makes sure you attend class though!

Holbein interjects personal, funny anecdotes to combat the sometimes tedious lists students are required to memorize. He has a real passion for teaching and makes "real world" examples part of his lessons via Maxwell's 21 Indispensible Qualities of a Leader and the Wall Street Journal. MC exam questions and review sessions direct from tests

overall good prof just do the work its not hard

Holbein is a GREAT teacher and he actually cares about his students. He is actually a genius and is only teaching because he retired from his real world job. Book is a self help book. Tests are based on lecture notes, wall street journal articles he talks about, and quotes from the self-help Maxwell book. Tests catch you off guard a bit. Easy B.

Good teacher, his test can be a little tricky, in that he puts very small details on the tests sometimes but it isnt hard t pull a B on them. Final is opitional. you have to go if you want all the notes. Easy B-C, kind of a hard A

Don't bother going to class unless you just want to because the subject matter is interesting. Buy the red notes, study them carefully because he will try to trick you. Once you've taken the first exam, you will know how the rest will be. BE AWARE of what time the final exam is! He usually has it a little earlier than regular class time.

This class is an easy A if you are good at memorizing things pretty much word for word. Personally, I found the first exam to be a bit difficult, but the rest were pretty easy. I still don't really understand the point of this class, though. This being a requirement for all business majors is even more bizarre.

I really enjoyed this class. It is very easy as long as you get the notes and go to the review sessions. He tells you everything that is on the exam, it is just up to you to memorize it. If you study and put forth the effort, there should be no reason not to get an A.

Very easy class. If you show up and get the stuff from Wall Street Journal you will be fine. His tests are EXACTLY what he goes over on the review day. I'm unsure how you can get anything other than an A if you show to every class.

His tests are pretty tricky even if you study a lot. It seems like common sense stuff that he teaches you but for the sake of attempting to get an A in the class just memorize the stuff he tells you. Don't miss a class because his notes are what he tests you on.

Good class. Hes a little crazy though.

Absolutely the best class ive had in my college career. Hes definitely the smartest management mind on the campus. He really gives you insight beyond the class. If you are serious about mgt and dont take 499 with him you are really missing out

No need to go to class. You can buy his notes at Johnny Print and the class before he tells you exactly what is on the exam from the notes. His tests are difficult and you must know every detail of Maxwell and he tries to trick you. DON'T buy the Wall Street Journal. Study what is on the bought notes and that's all you need to know.

Dr. Holbein simply teachers you about life. The material covered in the class itself was immensely useful to business, management, and general living. My only complaint about the class was Holbein's approach to examination. Holbein focused on memorization, instead of conceptualization. Not beneficial for the retention of information in the future

You have to go to class. He lectures all of the material, uses no powerpoint, and tells you what to underline in the "textbook." Do not subscribe to the Wall Street Journal, it's useless unless you intend to read it cover to cover and it's only helpful for extra credit points. He is a nice and funny man, though, and it was an interesting course.

If you don't get an A/B in this class, you need to rethink college. I never attended class nor received any bonus points from the clicker quizzes (which you can earn up to 10+ points per exam) and still got an A. Very funny and witty guy who actually uses real world examples to teach. no need for book or WSJ, just go to review sessions/buy JP notes

He was alright. Not the best, not the worst. His lecture was interesting and gave you a lot of information on life. Buy the notes. His tests are very specific. The exams are not about how much you know, but how much you memorized from the notes (you might like this style, but I do not). Pretty easy class overall.

Holbein is an awesome teacher! Follow him on twitter @strategicGFH. Go to class and answer the bonus questions for up to 10 bp per test. Grade is avg of 3 tests (Final is optional), counting bonus points.

Be prepared to read a lot of articles and have in-class discussions, but they are very helpful for exams. The exams and group presentations were stressful, but overall, if you put in the work, you'll do fine!

He talks in circles. Though he denies it, he makes money off of his notes at johnny print. He made a big deal out of it when a student posted the material online. Clearly doesn't want the best for his students. Exams are easy to get a B on if you study the material he tells you to, but you need to answer his extra credit. Getting an A is difficult.

Just go to class... you're paying for it! He gives out bonus questions via clicker and all of his notes are sold at Jonny Print, but I loved listening to his lectures he is a smart guy! Buy the Maxwell book it is cheap and I catch myself reading it in my free time.

it was a good class and the book he has you read it amazing (but you dont have to read it). It was mostly common sense material. I went to every class because he offers bonus points during every class but I stopped taking notes. He has them printed at Johnny Print and I would just buy them there. Make sure to take the sample tests.

Professor Holbein is a Zenith of my College career. He is a man of many shades and lectures like a man on fire. There are no curves on his tests, and they are verbatim from the lecture and course material. He offers extra credit in the form of pop quizzes from the required WSJ readings that are on the exams. His course changed my life, for better.

Looks like Larry David and sounds like Brian Williams. Dr. Holbein has fantastic leadership knowledge to share. His advice is based on the real world rather than cold hard facts and thus there are only four exams, one of which is dropped (lowest grade). He appreciates attention although the lectures can feel long. Great professor.

This is the easiest class you will ever take at UK. If you buy the notes and study them - you should earn an A, no problem. This is a stress free class.

This is one of the few classes you will take that actually matter and will apply to you later on. Holbein gives extra credit questions that add as many as 10 points on to each test. He doesn't teach using a PowerPoint, but he is clear on what you need to write down. He also tells you what will be on the test. Easy A.

A great teacher that applies class to life and creates an easy to learn environment. Easy, enjoyable, and book costs about $10.00

Buy the notes and you will get an A. He tells you everything that's on the test, take like an hour to study that material and you'll be happy!

This is one of few classes you will take where you actually want to pay attention because the information is all real world. Holbein is the man but buy the notes because he doesn't do power point slides. I never went to class and got an A on every exam, he doesn't take attendance and he tells you exactly what will be on the test in the review.

This is my favorite class I have ever had in college and one of the few that I feel like actually prepared me for my post-college career. Holbein is a great teacher (though a little conceited). Don't bother buying his book he tries to sell to you; you don't use it.

Holbein is a great professor, probably my favorite. He gives you so many extra credits. It is unreal to not get an A in his class. He is very smart and knows his stuff. Also, he is very useful outside of class and you can ask him anything and he'll try to help you the best he can. He prepares you for life!

Holbein is one of the best teachers you can find at UK. He really treats you like an adult and doesn't make you come to class. The tests are really easy, I didn't go to class for half a semester and i got A's on every test.

Holbein is really interesting and teaches you a lot of useful material about the real world. Your only grades come from tests and bonus questions, so make sure not to mess those up too bad, but he does drop your lowest score. It's a good class overall.

No homework, he tells you what will be on every test. If you take good notes and study the points he says will be on test you will be fine. If you have an A going in to final you don't have to take it. Lectures can be a little tedious but an easy A in my opinion. He is not boring, and I think he genuinely cares that we are successful in life.

Your grade was based off 3 of your best 4 test. He gives extra credit if you subscribe to a WSJ and read the business articles from the last 5 days and go to class and answer questions ab them. But you don't have to go to class, you just have to buy the notes before the review session and he tells you everything that is going to be on the test.

Easiest class this semester. The most important thing is to buy the Johnny Print notes & GO TO THE REVIEW SESSION. You do that & then study for a day, you will pass. He's fun to listen to, but since attendance wasn't mandatory, rarely anyone went. Download chrome ext. "Read Across the Aisle" for unlimited online passes to the WSJ, you're welcome!

He is a very nice, motivational guy but he tries to trick you on exams. It is a lot of material during lecture and only so little things chosen. He'll tell you what to study for the exam and then will sneak some stuff in there you don't even know. He is the only one that teaches it. so just make the best of it by studying hard.

lectures are not mandatory but not absolutely everything is in the notes you can purchase. He drops your lowest test grade. His lectures are a bit dreary but he has some interesting moments. I went to class everyday and easily got an A without taking the final.

Great passionate lectures

Amazing class. Very useful and applicable to real life. Really easy too. Lectures aren't mandatory but you will not regret the things you learn from this guy.

While attendance isn't mandatory for this class, I highly recommend you go anyway. Dr. Holbein, while sometimes slightly condescending, is a very inspirational professor and makes you think about your life in a different light. Your grade is based on three exams (one of four is dropped). He will tell you to buy the books, but there's no need to.
