Disagree highly with previous poster. Holditch is an amazing teacher!

Awesome teacher, hands down.

great teacher, amazing guy, but a super tough marker. English is not my strongest class, so i wasnt expecting to do well, but he still expects a lot on the essays.

Great Teacher, Inspiring, puts a lot into classes...friendly, neat guy. likes video games...keeps the classes engaging and even fun. before greg I would never take another english class, now though, I definitely am going to take more.

Best teacher I've ever had. Super helpful, kind, and makes his expectations very clear. He's also really hilarious and makes classes fun/worth going to. Highly recommended!

if you hate english now, take him and you'll love it. he's an easy marker (got A in the course) and an overall good prof

Amazing teacher!! --and not too bad on the the ol' eyes either. He really makes what could be a brutal class fun, engaging, funny-- the guy is amazing and the class has a really relaxed atmosphere. Be aware, he doesn't give away marks and he expects a lot on the essays. If English isn't your first language you may encounter difficulty.

his classes are fun and he's engaging in a very nerdy sort of way. attendance is mandatory or else he docks you 2% a day - which is pretty annoying. he's a really tough marker, so if you slack off you will receive a mark representative of that.

super cute..n makes english fun...a lot of discussion.

As a non-native English speaker (although I'm quite proficient), I felt intimidated taking English in Canada for the first time, but Greg made the process comfortable. He's so nice that you'd want to do well. Not to mention, he's cute too! ;) Oh, and he looooves video games. Sometimes I wish I do too! (Dang, I should have taken 1127 with him!)

Class is just an educational comedy act. Totally worth my time and money.

Greg is a really fun instructor. His class is engaging, well thought out and he's really good looking too! He marks essays really hard though, so follow his method precisely. Otherwise your mark will suffer. Overall, it was a really great class and his nerdiness makes him fun.

Greg's a really cool guy! Very motivating teacher, and always willing to help students. Although he's a hard marker, he's a really good teacher so pay attention.

Overall great teacher and I highly recommend him.

He is a really hard marker, but if you can learn from your first few assignments you can still do great. Sometimes there are classes that end up feeling like little families and I think Greg helped that happen. I didn't like English before his class but I learnt a lot about my writing style and had a lot of fun. Take his class, it was great!

He's almost TOO good. Every teacher I've had since Greg seems like such a disappointment. I think he's ruined me. But seriously, it just speaks to how amazing he is. Sometimes you can tell that someone is meant to be a teacher and that is definitely the case with Greg. He's a very inspiring human being. (And he's sort of adorable.)

Greg is an amazing teacher. He makes class lots of fun and this is coming from someone who needs to be engaged and interested to be in class. He creates a fun learning environment. He is a bit of a tough marker, but you gotta do the work....DUHHH! He makes learning fun. Definitely looking forward to taking another class with him. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Wow. It's unbelievable that Prof. Holditch would make his English class "read a book"... Excellent criticism buddy. Greg Holditch is an amazing and inspiring English teacher!!

Dorkiest Teacher ever. Marks pretty hard but all his marks are BY THE BOOK. and he provides an outline before hand to follow when writing an essay. Loved all the plays/poems etc. that he chose and I was ALWAYS excited to come to class. Extremely nice teacher & super funny and easy to talk to.

He nurtures his students. Extremely helpful. He makes an effort to make learning fun and exciting.

Class is fun and easy. Greg is full of energy and makes the class interesting and gets the class involved with discussions/activities. Assignments/midterm are harder than expected though once compared to classroom vibe. Very hard marker. Unclear of what he expects.

he marks really really hard!! its really discouraging and i don't understand what he hell he wants anymore. i just dont get it. On the other hand he's a really cool teacher!

Greg is an amazing teacher full of life and energy. His teaching methods helps you learn while having fun. Very inspiring teacher. His marking may be hard but it reflects our true ability and motivates to lean more. I never found him discouraging. Highly recommended teacher.

Greg is a great guy, he made the class interesting and I enjoyed being there. That being said, his marking is extremely hard and his standards are far too high for a first year english course. His class severely dropped my gpa but i did enjoy it

Very good teacher!! extreamly helpful. also somewhat funny.. enjoyed the class...however he is a very...VERY.. hard marker. u have to write the essays exactly how he wants it... other than that he is awesome..

Super helpful, but he assigns a lot of questions and worksheets to take home. He definitely has the young hot nerd teacher thing going on.

Very nice, fun teacher. Classes are entertaining but his marking is simply unreasonable. Class average was 50%. From what I have heard, all English instructors seem tomark extremely hard on first year students.The problem is when you go to him for help, he is really encouraging and makes you think you are writing correctly and then marks you poorly

Greg is fun, engaging and easygoing. Participation is a must. Take notes! this will help generate theses, claims and helpful quotes for essays. Follow the *Methods txt precisely or else your mark will be severely compromised. Slacking off warrants failure. But most importantly have fun, the in depth discussions in class are refreshingly relatable

Really awesome guy but a terribly hard marker. I had a great time in his class and it was a lot of fun but couldnt get over a 56% on any of the essays. Even when I tried to do what he told me, it still wasnt good enough.

Greg is a really great teacher.I'm surprised that some people here said he was unclear because he is extremely clear about what makes a good analysis essay. The Method's book is also very clear and helpful.He is a tough marker but not unfair-he is helping us learn for our future essays rather than babying us like a doting parent.Makes class fun!

Greg is an awesome teacher! he is super funny, nice, approachable, and always welcomes people to come to his office hour for help! Yes, he may be a hard marker but he only wants to make your writing better. He is very clear on what he expects from you and essay structure is directly out of the methods text which is extremely helpful!

Nice, funny, appoachable, hardest marker in the world!! He lives and breathes by the Methods book. He measures margins lines! 100% a GPA Dropper. Hardly teaches you how to write an essay, the only example on how to write are the sample essays which hardly tells you how to write a good one.

I love this man. He's a hard ass marker, but I appreciated that. His high expectations kicked myself into high gear. Had to follow his guidelines and the textbook very strictly. Created an environment ideal for discussion; content and interpretation was made very interesting. I fell in love with English again because of his class.

Greg marks pretty hard, he doesn't surprise you with random expectations. He's marking by the book, if you review methods the guidelines are quite clear. the class is comfortable and his jokes make the class fun. Workload is manageable and your writing skills and approachability towards essays will improve dramatically. thumbs up!

Great Professor, he is very helpful when it comes to answering your questions. Greg is also pretty chill, he is like a cross between a student/teacher and never gets angry or frustrated. Very hard marker though, always make sure you follow the book...FOLLOW THE BOOK. You will not fail if you...FOLLOW THE BOOK! Easily the best professor I ever had.

Great prof! He makes the whole class engaged in interesting discussion. He teaches you how to write essays based on the format. But if you can't think of great stuff to write, you will still get low marks. This course is hard for me. Work hard!

Really nice guy and wants to see his students succeed. If you attend every class and put hard work in it is possible to do well. The first essay he always fails most of the class but he is there to help during office hours. He is a very hard marker which you can either get discouraged by or motivated to do better. I enjoyed his class.

Greg is a great teacher and he involves his students in all his discussion. His class assignments are very helpful. I really enjoy being in his class.

Great prof hard marker

Super nerdy prof - loves video games. Lots of group work in class. Writing assignments are super sturctured.

Makes u work for it but super fun make sure to read text for reading quizzes

Had trouble at frist but visiting office hours really helped. Class was fun and engaging. Do all reading cause of quiz.

He makes classes engaging through discussions and his eccentric sense of humor and he's an all around nice guy. That being said, unless you're Paul Headrick's himself, chances are you won't get a great mark in his class. Follow methods and you might stand a chance. Take advantage of office hours and make sure to read before quizzes. Good Luck!

Make sure to attend every class cause he takes attendance marks. Also read assignments super close. Good semester All in all.

Enjoyed the class

Great!

Tough marker, makes you work harder (he gives you feedback), if you want to excel you can, just work -- welcome to College! Methods textbook sucks. and his attend every class rule for mark blows -- don't skip it will bite you in the ass (final mark wise) otherwise he's nice to look at and funny!

I usually got above 80% on all my essay however in this course, getting about 60% is extremely diffcult. He's a great proffessor and class goes by QUICK with his in class discussions. Make sure you read the short stories! METHODS BOOK IS VITAL and once again ... he marks incrediably tough and often contradicts himself.

Greg is funny and his classes are engaging but he is pretty disorganized. That is my only complaint with him. I still would recommend him though as I enjoyed going to his classes and he is (for the most part) very helpful outside of class time.

A really funny guy that can at times be a hard marker. If you put the effort in and go see him he really helps you and will definitely help in getting the mark that you want out of the course. He tries to make the class as engaging as possible which is a plus!

BEST ENGLISH PROF EVER! Reading quizzes are easy. (really easy). very accessible cause his office hours and writing centre times are flexible. he will really help you and guide you when youre writing your paper! HE IS REALLY NICE AND FUN!

Greg is very funny and helpful during office hours. Greg is down to earth when it comes to teaching his class.

Greg's pretty unorganized but he still manages to make the lecture interesting in class discussions. One tip: he gives LOTS of reading quizzes at the beginning of class on prior lectures, so make sure you do the homework! There's just too many papers in general to write, but if you love poetry, novels, and film analysis. This is a great GPA booster

He's willing to help you when you need one. He makes the class more interesting. He's funny and not really a tough marker. Just put an effort on everything you do in his class.

Greg is a very fun and interesting prof. If you like video games and movies then this prof is for you. He is very down to earth and tries to make his lectures both educational and interesting. He teaches very well and works hard for his students.

Favourite prof so far! Lectures are interesting and relevant! Is extremely enthusiastic and woke, discussions are always fun. As an extremely socially anxious person Greg makes it easy to speak in class and is very supportive. can be a hard marker but gives good feedback and helps form topics. 10/10 prof, I can't understand his previous ratings

I absolutely loved Greg when I took him for 1130. There is a lot of homework, discussion posts and a lot of writing but the more you write the better you get at it. Gives good feedback but slow grader. Super engaging and show you how to write a proper essay. Definitely take his course if you need to improve your writing.
