For most students his lectures are overwhelming, resulting in tons of outside study to relearn what you learned. Do not expect a curve, because he is not one for handouts. However, he will help those who he knows truly care. He is all over the place which can be distracting, and he intentionally makes his tests harder than they need to be.

I 100% recommend this professor. No assignments- only tests. Study and you will do well. Gives out a study guide for the final that is identical to the actual test. There is no lab final, but lab exams are pretty hard. You can do well if you study for them. Overall amazing professor.

You have to do 3 packets in 3 weeks and then you take a test based on it. Packets help you identify anatomy by describing them. Don't procrastinate bc you have to be able to identify the anatomy from pics. You have to type the answer out and you can't go back to a question. Bc of this, it's important to work ahead of time and practice identifying.

An amazing online teacher that leaves you alone. You don't get 100 notification emails from him. Seriously, his syllabus tells it all! As long as you do the work you will be fine. I personally was a full-time student and full-time active duty military. He made things super easy for me to understand. Seriously regret not having him for BSC2086

this class was the most difficult class i have ever taken but that's only because it was fully online. i do better in person. there is definitely a lot of reading. make sure you watch those YouTube videos for lab! if you ever get stuck or have a question, text him or email him, he'll listen and try his best to help. GOOD LUCK!

Human Anatomy is already a hard topic but he made it so much better! he is a amazing professor and I wish I could have taken him for Anatomy ll but he was full! Just make sure you do good on the lecture exam and labs. The only homework is labs, make sure to do good on exams they are basically your whole grade.

A&P has a lot of really difficult subjects to understand and he posts his lectures online to help understand the material. Honestly, I just started watching other people's lectures because I didnt really understand his teaching style. But he's more of a hands-off online teacher, I don't think I got an email from him since the beginning of the year

Course is graded solely on 6 exams, one being the final. Final is worth 30% of your grade and the exams are worth 70%. I do not recommend this course. Tests were not proctored, however. If you do not keep up with the reading, you will fail.

He's a really great teacher, took him for A&P 1 & 2, 1 in person and 2 online. He's clear with how he grades, only 4-5 tests the whole semester, but has a TON of resources, videos, and study guides to help you out. Plus is always available to help with either, email, text, and a phone call.

I truly enjoyed this class. It was ALOT of information but he definitely provides an abundant amount of resources, videos, print outs etc. His grading is fair, if you do the practice tests provided through the book and really memorize the print outs on the labs you will do fine. He responds quickly to emails as well.

DO NOT TAKE HIS ONLINE CLASS! His lecture videos are all over the place and confused me more watching them. If you are the type to learn by yourself then so be it, if not, stay away. He has no type of structure except the exam schedule. I'm writing this mid semester thinking about withdrawing b/c its just a hot mess. Be aware!

5 exams not proctored He is a fantastic person! Though his examples confuse me sometimes. Grades are heavy on the exam. Exams are a minimum of 60 questions timed for 1 hour and up. I never touched the book. His modules were very useful. The models he provided in canvas were the ones he used in exams. I highly suggest taking his class in person.

Fully online and he does not use honor lock. 5 exams and participation at the end of the course is your only grades. Most of his test questions are directly from his PowerPoint slides. If you take his lab course all the tests are free response questions, but the questions are in reference directly from his slides. Overall he made the course easy.

This class is challenging! I would suggest taking the class with other lighter classes because studying for this class will take up the majority of your time. You must study; do not think you can get by just because he does not use honor lock. He gives about 20 secs a question from my experience so know your stuff. Study hard and you'll do fine.

Professor Holland is genuinely there for you to help you succeed. It's up to you to put in the work that is required for this course to receive the fruits of your labor. This is a very intense class (especially for someone that works 40+ hours a week) and it requires a lot of your "off" time to dedicate towards the lectures, videos, studying, etc.

He spends a lot of time preparing videos and lectures for the online class. Just follow his instructions carefully and succeed!

LOVE LOVE LOVE. Took him for lab and lecture: only 2 things are graded in the lecture online course which counts for your overall grade. One is participation in class (watching videos) and Second is exams which there were 5. If you watch the videos and take notes you should be fine! Class is hard to fail. Lab Is the same way!

This Anatomy and Physiology class has no proctoring. The grades are reliant on the exams and his homework is graded solely on participation scoring. He is a knowledgeable professor, although not tech-savvy. Instead of recording the presentation on his laptop and adding a voiceover he records his laptop screen with a separate recording device.

Exams are your only grades. 90% exams 10% participation. You are teaching yourself. He gives a very unrealistic amount of time to take the exams. One exam he gave 60 minutes to answer 58 questions so essentially a minute per question and some of the questions have multiple question within it. Exams are not proctored. There are alot of modules to do

This class wasn't terrible but it was difficult. Your grade is based on 5 exams and 1 overall participation grade. I will say the exams are extremely difficult but in order to get a reasonable score you have to study the modules. He's very accommodating and he responds pretty fast to emails! Would I take this class again? Maybe.

He's the most laid-back professor, but HIS EXAMS ARE HARD if you don't put effort. No weekly homework, but 90% of your grade is based only on 5 exams, each w/ over 50 ques in a 60-90 min time limit. You'll need to study 4-6 hrs/day to succeed. If you want a professor with weekly engagement, he may not be ideal. Unsure if I will take his class again

Mr. Holland is a nice professor, but his anatomy class is tough. There's no homework—your grade is based only on five exams and a final. He makes the material harder than it needs to be, and the exams often don't match what you studied, with lots of questions and little time. He does drop the lowest test score, and the final isn't optional.

Anatomy is hard I am studying for a business degree so I am not particularly following the anatomy path. However, the class is str8 forward Exams are 100% the grades Then the participation grade is separated from the modules and practice tests. Exams are not proctored still very hard. The timing is tough as well You have to hustle during the exams.

Prof. Holland is one of the best out there. A&P is a really heavy content class that requires a lot of memorization but he understands that and is so helpful. 90% of your grade is based on 5 lecture exams and then a 10% "participation" buffer. No honorlock, but you still need to study because the content is so specific. He rounded my 87 to an A.
