Took night class he goes over lecture for each new chapter fairly quickly the 1st time, but will give time to ask questions. If you read the chapter & do most homework the tests are fairly easy. He doesn't try to throw you off on the tests too bad. Much better than other options for professors!

His style is different, but because of it he actually taught me something about accounting. And he made me want to become an accountant. He's a really good teacher. What the others say so far is true. Just do the homework. Also go over the questions in the study guide.

Easiest accoutning class teacher out there. Gives you very small quizzes right before each test for extra credit. Then may curve the test if the grades are poorer than expected. I don't do any homework, don't have the book, just use the book's website to learn the material. Should be an easy A!

Very good professor. If you're not looking forward to taking an accounting class, this is definitely the professor to get. Not that hard of a class if you study and do homework, and he keeps sometimes boring lessons interesting with his stories

If you are on top of your work, you will be good in the class

Best accounting teacher in my opinion. I failed Accounting 203 two previous times, and I'm getting a B in Prof. Hollands class. Go to class and do the homework. The tests are straight from the homework.

This man is a great teacher. You will enjoy going to class. He explains material well and is hilarious

This guy is great he'll keep you awake and make you laugh. The night class always got out early and he breezes right through lectures. Take him for accounting!!

he is soooo funny...a little ecentric, but soo funny he will have you dyin laughing at just the way he talks. the tests are great, he gives extra credit, and he is available in his office. he motivates you to learn, and hw isn't mandatory, but he does take roll, so go to class!

Do extra credit. And make sure you study for the test...

He is amazing...wants to make sure that you pass the class!!! He will work with you to mske sure that you get a passing grade. You get one take home exam and he drops the lowest test grade and gives you 25 points worth of extra credit you can do. Homework is not manadatory and he does over it in class. Oh and test are multiple choice..mostly vocab

He LOVES Accounting. Frequently, he goes off on goofy tangents. But, he knows his stuff. I didn't pass because I was not able to dedicate the time to study properly. His office is always open for students

He is very energetic and a wonderful person, however, if you need a teacher to show you step by step you might be better taking someone else. I survived because I know how to teach myself. He does allow you to drop lowest test score out of 6. Tests are usually 15 multi-choice questions

Awesome professor. He made the class exciting and fun. If he's just average, why do all his classes fill up in no time? Because he's not. He's the best accounting teacher you could ever want.

He is a genuinely nice guy. He was sometimes very amusing, but definitely went off on a lot of (sometimes very boring) tangents. He gives many opportunities for extra credit.

Great teacher! I got an A but had to study and work for it. I think he is the best option out of all the teachers for 203 or 204. I had the 8am class and he let us out early most of the time. GO TO CLASS! He puts some quizes on blackboard which really help out your grade. Study the text and you'll do fine!

Good teacher....horrible stories and way too freaking manic.

His teaching is subpar and he as a person completely turns me off. I can't take him seriously and have no desire to listen to him. A really nice and goofy guy, but just so utterly ridiculous. By all means take him, but his lax attitude tends to result in students getting lazy. Gives loads of extra points, so to many he's a godsend.

Decent teacher. Its accounting, you either study, learn and know it or you don't.

Wonderful professor, accounting is hard, but he made it fun. Plan on extra study time for this class but would definately recommend taking him. Truely nice person too. Good option for reference.

Prof Holland is a wonderful teacher. I'm enjoying to go to his class everyday. I'm not really into accounting until I have this class. You have to read the book and do the homework problems to get A in this class. Don't expect an easy ride!! It's college, you have to do the work. Don't blame the teacher for your bad grade.

compare to all the other accounting teachers, this teacher is the one to take. lots of extra credit and test are multiple choice (unlike other accounting teacher). test are kind of difficult, but if you study you should be okay with the extra credit. (or just cheat :p)

BEST TEACHER I'VE HAD IN COLLEGE SO FAR!!! He is a great guy. He actually wants his students to do well and he keeps class interesting and funny. You will not fall asleep in this class. He is very hilarious in a corny kind of way. But class does require you to study. I got an A easy by doing all the HW and a lil studying.

He's awesome!! He is fun and energetic! He explains the information in a way you understand it, he gives examples! I took Olds last year and I withdrew half way in, he was boring! Holland is a great professor and you'll actually like learning accounting! Tests are easy if you study and do the homework!

I'D TAKE ACCOUNTING FROM HIM AGAIN! Much better than some of the other professors I've had for acct.

Holland is wierd at first, and takes forever to finish points. Acct is as hard as you make it If you study you will get an "A" he gives tons of extra credit and drops 1 test if you take the final. I.E. before each test there is a quiz that adds up to 6 points on your test grade.. your final grade is the 5 best grades of the 6 pretty easy huh...

Best acct professor at VCU. I went to class, took notes, but didnt study much and got a B. tests are pretty straight forward, and there is no required homework. Also, online extra credit quiz for each test!!

do homework and you will pass. if you have trouble he is alot of help

Very entertaining. Very easy class. Isn't the best teacher, but more than willing to help if you ask.

Entertaining and energetic guy. Do the homework and attend class and you will do fine. I didn't do the homework and it made studying for the tests a challenge. Plenty of extra credit opportunities. And the final is optional and replaces lowest exam grade.

He is amazing. Its my first time accounting but still did good due to the extra credits and test questions somewhat same from quiz and final drops lowest grades.

professor holland is brilliant! He makes ACCT a good laugh. As long as you do the homework and do the practice quizzes you'll be sorted. He's a sweetheart to, he'll help you after class whenever you need it. Easy A as well as far as ACCT goes

Prof. Holland is the kind of professor that will help you as much as he can. I started out failing the 1st 3 tests, but stuck with it, he kept helping me and i eventually passed the class. he wont give up on you if you help yourself. and he's also interested in how you do after you've taken his class, he's genuinely concerned about his students.

He is the most hilarious professor I've ever had! He actually makes accounting interesting. He is always willing to help you. Go to class for attendance, study the book, and you'll do fine.

If people think acct203 and 204 are hard then they shouldn't even consider going further. The two intermediate accounting classes will destroy them. Holland isn't a great teacher but he does know the material very well (he is a CPA). You will have to do a lot of learning on your own in his class, but the material isn't bad at all. STUDY.

Horrible sense of humor but an overall good teacher. He breaks down the material into pieces that any college student could understand and even when you don't he's willing to review it during his office hours. He tends to toot his own horn more often then warranted but overall he's a good prof. I got an A with a minimal amount of studying!

I failed my first ACCT class at VCU and tried it again with Professor Holland- a complete turnaround. He is very nice and easy to talk to. Do some studying with the powerpoints/book and you'll be fine. Also- ask him to play Destiny's Child's Survivor before the test starts on test day and he'll do it. Inspirational.

Good Professor, From what I understand he is probably the best Accounting professor at VCU. He gives plenty of extra credit. Just make SURE to buy the STUDY GUIDE. Its makes a huge difference. I made 2 70's on his test then i bought the Study Guide and made a 95, 85, and 90 on my next 3 test!

Great Professor!!! Best I've had! Great sense of humor, He actually cares about his students and is very responsive all around a great man!!

Took Holland for both ACCT 203 and 204. He was great at teaching both! I'd def recommend him to everybody! Just make sure you go to class everyday because he takes role which will effect your grade. And he gives a ridiculous amount of extra credit. Almost impossible to not receive an A in his class.

Best Teacher ever!! Very happy man. He gives so much extra credit and is willing to work with you. He is confusing majority of the time so coming to class wasn't very helpful to me. He really wants his students to succeed.

Best teacher for acct period! If you fail this class, it is your fault. He gives out LOADS of extra credit. basically gives the answers to his tests the day before. He's so funny and keeps u awake during class. Just do the work and u will pass. I suck at accounting but I got a B in the class. TAKE HIM IF U WANT TO PASS!!

Gives extra credit.. Passes a sheet for attendance. Study the homework and should be fine.

You need to study by yourself a lot for passing this course, but it is very useful course. He's helpful. I like this course so far compared to other courses taken at VCU. It seems that accounting instructors at VCU get worse and worse very year though.

Overall, good professor. Doesn't lecture very well, you will have to pretty much teach yourself but tests are easy, he gives study guide which are almost exact copies of the test. Gives extra credit assignments, didn't spend much effort to get an A

Go to his office hours, he really likes to know you. He will bump you to an A if you showed effort, lectures and homework didn't help me but the online videos and practice problems did. if you don't like something about the class ask him to do something else and he will. we didn't like that the quizzes were pop so we asked & he announced them instead

Holland is one of the funniest professors I've had at VCU. Although his lectures are all over the place and I wouldn't consider him the best accounting prof, his tests are not difficult. He gives lots of EC and typically half the test is exact questions from the study guide. Study hard before exams, do the EC, and you should get an A.

Solid professor! Provides you with all the notes needed to do well in the course. Prior to taking an exam he also offers an extra credit quiz you can do and sometimes light projects as well which are also for extra credit. Some self teaching is necessary because he sometimes steers off topic and starts telling jokes but overall hes a very good prof

Holland is great! If you pay attention to his lectures and the practice quizzes, the test will be easy. He gives simple projects to bring boost grades and extra credit. Sometimes he goes on tangents in the lecture, but it is usually on how he uses acct at work. He is very funny and makes an effort to get to know your name. He used an online book

Easy A as long as you take the short online quizzes before every test and go through his study guides for tests. He gives 4 tests and you are exempt from the final if you have an A in the class before the final.

Really nice guy, knowledgeable in his field. Many people are bothered by his lectures because he often goes off topic, but if you're paying attention to the practice problems and are still struggling, you could go to his office and he would love to help. I smile every single time I have class with Prof. Holland, would definitely recommend.

Very helpful and professional.

Really good cares a lot about students read the text and you should pass

He's an extremely nice guy, literally do your work and you'll get an A or high B. Ask lots of questions and his office hours helped me a lot!! Overall he's been one of my favorite professors at vcu and I hope I end up taking another one of his classes soon :)

Professor Holland is a great guy and although his teaching can get confusing sometimes, as long as you ask questions (which he never gets tired of), he'll do whatever he can to make sure you understand. He definitely does his best to make sure everyone gets the grade they want.

Prof Holland is a great man. Super funny and engaging. He wants you to succeed. Accounting 203 was hard for me but he made 204 such a breeze. 4 test, quizzes every week. Study, work hard and you will do well. I'd take him again.

This man is a gem. I had him first thing in the morning. Its so nice to have someone so happy and positive to start the day. He is always there if you need help. I would definitely take his class again and any other classes he teaches. Just listen to his lectures, do the homework, and take notes from the powerpoints and you should get an A or B.

never attended his lectures bc all he does is go over hw/quizzes, but his class is super easy and def recommend him if you are just trying to get through accounting 204! the only thing I really disliked about him is that he changed due date times around all the time, one day the due date for hw was at 3:30 and another day it was due at 11:50pm?

Holland is one of the nicest professors I have ever had, he genuinely cares about us understanding the information and doesn't get mad when we ask questions. Overall accounting can be pretty difficult and since we were online it was even harder but he tried his best and I respect him for that.

I never showed up to zoom meetings and still got an A. I was fine with this class because I'm pretty good at teaching myself (which I chose to do because I never joined zoom lectures). I did show up the first couple lectures and he did seem to be teaching. The amount of work is definitely doable. It's also a pretty fair weighted grading system.

3 assignments weekly; homework, smartbook, quiz. On test weeks you only have that so it is a nice break between material. No mandatory cumulative test but it is optional. Prof is a very down to earth oldhead but the good kind. Zooms are nice if you wanna follow along but he recorded them for us.

Professor Holland is by far the nicest teacher I have had so far. I missed a lot of the homework and I'm still finishing with an A. As long as you stay consistent and don't miss more than like 6 homework you'll be fine. The test relates very close to the homework and quizzes. The final is optional. He is just a great down-to-earth guy.

Super kind, very easy-going professor and overall course. Three assignments due about every week and he even does the homework in class so you only have to do one assignment on your own, then the chapter quiz. I recommend taking this class if you want a course you don't need to pour too much attention into.

Great professor, loved every minute of his class. Took him online due to COVID but I'm sure he's a great professor in person too. His 3/5 rating doesn't do him justice. This man is a 5/5 professor and the class is a 2/5 difficulty if you do the work. If you don't do the work then its a 5/5 difficulty class.

I took his class and felt like the lectures were not too long and were very helpful. There is homework and quizzes every week which I like so that I keep the stuff fresh in my mind. Tests were pretty simple and his quizzes are also pretty easy. Overall great professor who is professional and nice at the same time.

One of the best accounting teachers I had. I really learned a lot in his class, all of the were given online. The homework and quizzes really correlated with the tests. He was always happy to go over the homework individually and he goes over it in class. The only way you could fail his class is by bit doing any assignments.

Learning objectives are a big part of your grade. Go to lecture, Holland is funny and cares about his students. His lectures explained everything you need for the test. The tests are take home tests that are mostly covering the vocab of the unit as well as stuff he highlights during lecture. Great professor definitely would take again.

A severely underrated teacher. He's very caring and understanding and always happy to talk and joke with students. My only gripe is that he often hyperfocuses on a single person/few people whenever joking to get a smile out of them, though done with good intention. Engage with the lectures and ask questions, and you'll have a fantastic time.

I honestly didn't attend too many lectures because attendance wasn't mandatory, but whenever I did go it was a good time because he was just a nice, charming guy! Funny too, in a silly way. The whole textbook is online and its easy to get a good grade with the way assignments are set up.

One of the sweetest teachers I've ever met. His class is also pretty easy, he goes through the homework before it's due and it's so helpful. The tests are either online or in person, and are pretty straightforward. Overall- best teacher at VCU.

Professor Holland is a gem - his class is straightforward if you stay on top of the work. Homework, smartbook, and quizzes keep you engaged, and tests are fair. Recorded Zoom lectures help for studying. unstuck ai was a lifesaver for exam prep too.
