This horrible teacher has an anger issue!he is very rude. He is the worst teacher I've ever had. No common sense.He does not know how to transfer the information, and he knows the worst way of lvingroblems. Horrible experience.He disrespects students.Dont take this teacher. If he knew how to teach the material, you could just pay no attention but..

I did't pay for this class so I can end up teaching my self the material, but those were the results. He can't teach, and makes the tests hard to "challenge" us. Seriously he's a joke. If you want to challenge us have 1 extra credit problem on the test not have the whole test be a challenge, then you wonder why more than half the class is failing.

Worst math teacher I have ever had. He didn't help one bit. If you asked a question, he will explain it. But if you didn't still understand he would get upset. He made everything a challenge. The test he gave were hard. He can't teach.

Hardest class i've took. stats is supposed to be easy but he made it seem like a class at stanford. does NOT teach well and i definitely do not recommend him. AT ALL.

Did not enjoy this class one bit. I had taken a similar class in high school and was confident in my knowledge but he made everything twice as confusing and don't even think about asking for help unless you want your brain to explode. Very unclear, monotone, quite boring class. Dreaded coming, but you can't pass math without showing up. No homework

Terrible teacher. We all know that guy from highschool who knows it all but doesnt really know anything, just talks untill you give up. Thats this guy. he complicates the easiest of concepts and dont even think about telling him he is wrong about something, you'll be sorry you opened your mouth.

He was incredibly awful. Monotone, condescending, & arrogant. Very strict re: attendance when returning from break. Unhelpful, & confusing. I barely made it through one class, one kid got up and left. I will be dropping ASAP. If you are stuck in his class best of luck to you (especially if you struggle with math) & don't ask him ?s it'll be worse.

He is the worst teacher I have ever had. He may have a PhD, but doesn't know how to teach at all. He makes the easiest concepts so complicated and confusing. He cares more about attendence than about his own methods of teaching. I wonder why Saddleback has hired such a terrible teacher.

I never rate professors... But "Dr." Hole is just absolutely horrible. Has no teaching methods and does not care about students at all. Grades tests extremely difficult and tests are completely different than the homework and quizzes. If you want to get a good grade, go somewhere else.

Definitely avoid! Does not explain concepts well at all and tests are nothing like the homework! Plan on spending hours teaching yourself how to do the homework just to have the test completely unrelated to lecture and homework. Take with Westphal instead, at least you'll understand the concepts from lecture.

I do not know what is the relation between Economics and Mathematics! His BS is in Economics. He has PhD in Math but it does not mean that he is master in all math topics. One of the worst MATH instructor. Rhetoric is one of the most important items that he does not have and cannot transfer information well. Do NOT take math course with him,never

Instructor must be able to answer all student's question. during this semester I saw more and more that Mr. Hole cannot answer the question and students had to give up and ignore and say: Never Mind Professor! Hole is worst..

Do not take this guy ever, he is literally the worst math teacher ever and couldn't teach whatsoever. Test are tough and you won't expect similar subjects on the study guide. IT WILL BE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. He may have a Phd in Math, but one thing, he's horrible at teaching. HORRIBLE.

First of all, do not take a Calculus course in the summer. Second, this professor is insufferable and is the only person I've had to review. His teaching style is more or less straightforward but he's not flexible at all. Due to a family emergency, I had to miss a non-test day, yet he threatened to drop me for hours missed. Avoid & drop.

I have never had to rate bad on a professor, but he was the worst teacher. Im an A student and I recieved a C. threatened to drop me when I emailed him that I had to take a placement test for English, was 10minutes late to class he interrogated me, I had never even missed a class before. he gets upset when you ask questions and doesn't answer them

Hes not a very nice guy. His class is structured with 3 tests thats it if you aren't a good test taker get the heck out of there. He has NO HOMEWORK... which is bad if you need homework to pass classes... If your late a few times he will drop you and if you miss more than four he will drop you like he's the not the teacher to be messed with.

I took this class my first semester at Saddleback, and I was not prepared for such a punishing class straight out of high school. The grade is 60% tests, and 40% final... but there are only two tests. I failed my second test, and I was unable to pass at that point. He seemed uninterested in every lecture, homework is never reviewed or graded.

Not a terrible man, just not the best professor. Taking over summer didn't really help either.

This is possibly the worst professor I've had. Idk how he got a job as a teacher, since he doesn't know how to teach. He's smart, but he doesn't know how to communicate his knowledge to others. When he is doing problems, he skips work in btwn steps so you're always lost. The grade is made up of 4 tests, if you want to learn, don't take him.

This is possibly the worst professor I've ever had. He is smart but unable to communicate his knowledge effectively. He skips steps in btwn the steps to a problem so that you're always lost. He goes fast and when you ask a question, he does not explain well. The grade is made up of the tests. If you want to learn, or even pass, dont take him.

Your whole grade is based upon two exams and the Final. That's it. Each exam is worth 30% and the final is worth 40%. He skips a lot of steps while lecturing and never gets out of his seat. he only uses the overhead projector. Dont take him unless you plan on teaching yourself calculus.

He had me regretting my desicion of coming back to saddleback from IVC. Worst math professor ever, never had his lectures ready, he'll just use the ebook on his phone to look for examples... Take only if it's your second time taking the class or you're hella good at math, or if you wanna teach calc to yourself. Your grade is based off 3 tests,

Avoid

Really hard class! Your entire grade is based off two test and a final nothing else. Dr. Hole is not very good at explaining things a different way if you dont understand. He is very monotone and at times will randomly start yelling to get a point across. Would not recommend

Prof. Hole's class is not very good- in fact one of the worst experiences in my college career. The material is basic, and he expects you to know what I'd assume every other professor does for Calc. 3A. The only problem is his class is based upon only a few tests and that is it. So you fail a test, and you will not receive an A in the class.

DO NOT TAKE HIM EVEN IF HE IS THE ONLY PROFESSOR LEFT. I have never done horrible in a class, I did horrible in this class!!! He DOES NOT teach. Expects you to know it all by yourself and belittles you in front of the classroom if you ask a question and don't understand!

Taking Professor Hole's MATH3A class was a huge regret. I have never failed a course in my life, prior to this one. The entire grade is based on 3 tests, which would be reasonable if he actually taught. If this is the only available class left, it's obviously for a reason!

Lmao just a terrible teacher. Dont expect to get an A unless youve taken calculus before. Make sure u study for hours for each test because if u mess up on one of three of your tests even a little bit it can screw you out of being able to get an A. Be ready to do a lot of practice on your own if you want to have a chance at an A.

Hole isn't well prepared for his lectures. Gives a lot of even numbered homework problems where there are no answers and doesn't cover all the answers in class. Didn't allocate enough time for the Final review questions--only 1 hour. Wants u to buy the Saddleback ed. of the textbook even tho the regular edition is almost the same and 1/2 the cost.

Do not expect to get an A unless you study for at least 5 hours per test and have taken calc before.

He doesn't know how to explain concepts, he just barely goes over the basics and then speeds through examples that might've actually been helpful had he taken the time to go step by step. When he assigns homework, there are no answers to refer to unless you actually buy the textbook. CANNOT miss a lecture, have to teach yourself, unhelpful notes.

WORST PROFESSOR EVER! NEVER take his class! Attendance is mandatory and part of participation. Im very good at math but the way he teaches makes you think you know nothing. Horrible way of teaching. He will drop you without telling you. Even if he is the last class to take, DONT DO IT!!!!!

Let me start out by saying NEVER take his class. He lectures for two hours straight with a five minute break in-between and usually doesn't let you out on time. He doesn't care if you pass or fail, he is just there to teach. If you're taking this class and actually want to pass pick another professor because he isn't good at all.

worst professor! I'm sure you're looking on here to see if he's a good professor because his class is always the last one to fill up, there's a reason for that. I can't stress this enough don't take his class. He goes thru notes so fast explaining the information needed for problems and just going doing random problems from textbook, not useful!!

He has no emotion behind his teaching. Changed textbooks on us midsemester after we had to pay for the first one. His lectures were copying exactly what is written in the book. Does not accept late homework. Calls out student for being wrong or late in front of whole class. Not understanding or friendly towards students in class or office hours.

Please dont take his class even if its the only one open. I saw other reviews like this and some good ones and thought people just didn't do good in the class. NO, he's a bad teacher. He doesn't care about students or teaching. Most boring lectures ever copies exactly whats written in the book. DO NOT TAKE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE MISERABLE AND FAIL!

Worst teacher at saddleback, he doesnt know how to teach students period. Puts very little effort.

Not a good experience at all, doesnt know how to teach, def dont take.

Skip! One of the worse teachers I've had at SB. He's so unorganized and unhelpful. A month into the class and he still doesn't know how/when the test will be. Good luck getting a helpful answer, if at all, when you email him. He doesn't care about students. Check the calendar carefully, he will change it. You are better off just teaching yourself.

Dr. Hole's 3C class makes you wonder just why they let anyone with a Ph.D. become a lecturer. His lectures are decently high-effort (he has a good mic), has recordings. However, he is not good instructor. At all. Struggles to answer questions and gets defensive unnecessarily. Took the summer section; 3 tests, 5 quizzes, no curve, unnecessarily hard

Dr. Hole did not respond to any of my emails and barely kept in contact with any students throughout the semester. The textbook and lectures were useful, however on exams Dr. Hole would seemingly give it a random grade and not allow students access to them. Take any other professor Dr. Hole should not be teaching at Saddleback.

One of the worse Professors I have ever had. Does not respond to any emails, and has horrible communication. The lectures provide little insight, and the grading criteria for exams are inconsistent and basically unknown. After quizzes are submitted (even reading checks) you will not be able to see what questions you got wrong. Stay far away

screw him. dont take this class pls fire

take any other class

you'll have to learn everything on your own so there is technically no professor! gives you 200 checkpoints each worth 1 point and gives no explanation for why you received a test grade! he grades the final after the semester is over so you have no idea if you will have to use the p/ no p option or w the class! literally horrible

Doesn't give clear answers to questions and is somewhat condescending/passive-aggressive. Also makes homework extremely tedious for no reason.

For some reason gets extremely defensive about everything and is a terrible professor. Never answers questions, doesn't reply to emails if he feels like it, assigns SO MUCH WORK, and constantly regards everybody in such a condescending manner. I don't know how other faculty tolerate his presence, if this is the same way he acts around them as well.

Very condescending and you can see his god complex truly shine through. He is always extremely defensive for no reason and doesn't respond to students' attempts at communication, even regarding questions about content. Definitely doesn't do his job well, as students all around seem to disdain him and his teaching practice. Worst professor I've had.

Jason is disrespectfuly rude. Jason likes to bully students if he finally acknowledges them at all. Jason is an A**#@!& Fire Jason immediately Jason needs to be brought back to reality and humbled Jason obviously is a small insecure person. I wonder why Jason is so mad and feels he must bully and intimidate people? Jason needs a new job. #TheWorst.

I am unsure what this guy problem is. I am easy going student with 4.0 and normally form lasting relationships with my professors as I meet them but this guy seem to have an attitude problem and hate both his career and people who are learning and achieving success. This guy is obviously jealous and bitter due to his lack of success. So sad. Avoid!

Prof Hole made me feel uncomfortable every time we would talk he would either be rude or act very wierd towards me that I am happy we were not in the same room. He would give me wrong info and I was so close at 89% I just got my grade and he marked my test down but will not show me what I missed or why. He is shady and a gross Wierdo and unfair.

Teacher is a Joke. Class is BS. No communication. No feedback or grading given. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!! Literally anyone is better. Wish I could say how I really felt but I don't want this post taken down. People need to know how bad a class and professor can be. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Saddleback needs a new online Calc professor, this schmuck sucks.

If you are the type of person that can pick up a textbook and learn calculus, this class is for you. Videos created by Prof. Hole are equivalent to an audio textbook. No examples, no feedback, complete DIY college course. The Openstax text used is riddled with errors so beware. Do not take if you want to learn something or need examples worked out.

I picked him because he was my only option to finish calculus 2 before this fall. There's a reason why taking the course this summer with him was my last option.

Worst professor I had during my 19 years alive. I will never forget this man and what he did to everyone in this class. He never responded to emails and gave unnecessary and disrespectful remarks. He docked points for no reason because he "felt" like it. His ego is through the roof and is the most obnoxious professor I had. Don't take him, please.

Avoid this professor. He will screw you over and destroy your GPA. Takes points away from tests without reason. You cannot view wrong answers after you take quizzes, and therefore cannot learn from mistakes. Writes emails in a condescending manner. Very unprofessional, and clearly does not care about student success and or futures.

Jason Hole is the worst professor I've ever seen. You need to teach yourself everything and he won't help. His exams are very hard and take off points arbitrarily. He won't reply to Any of your emails, after the semester is over and gone forever, and leave you with a B/C. His character Too Bad! Don't take any of his classes.

Should be A-Hole. He would not answer questions. AT ALL! Never gave feedback on work. Scheduled office hours he never shows up. Lazy. Rude. Does not care about his job. I am a woman and he made me very uncomfortable the ONE time I was able to actually get him to respond to me after calling the math office to ask how to get ahold of him. A$$HOLE.

This Professor ruins GPAs for fun. He will not provide feedback when you get something wrong. He talks disrespectfully to students. He is not consistent in his grading. Does not teach lecture. He treats this like passive income, and so the college should really reevaluate if ghosting students is something they want to endorse.

The worst professor I had in my life whole life!! nothing else need to be said.

Good luck with him. He will deduct points even if you do the work just because it is not formatted correctly. His teaching method is one of the worst as it is mostly self-learning. Also, even if he does respond to emails, the response is so vague that I do not know what the fook he is even talking about. I would not wish him against my worst enemy.

I know you are probably taking his class because it is the only online class available. But drop if you care about your GPA because everything everyone says about this professor on this site is true (he might be even worse). Do not be fooled by the grades everyone claims on this site because I am sure it is likely to have been worse.

He failed me after taking the final because he FELT i cheated in my 2nd exam. Even if I cheated (which I did not) what he did to me was extremely and immoral. He asked me 3 times to justify my answers and i did but since i was the only one who got full points in his 2nd exam he got mad. There is no way to tell who is cheating. this guy is no human

Worst teacher ever.I regret I took him just because being online. He ruined my GPA. He gives you 0 with no reason and you can not see the reading quizzes correct answer and when you ask him for it, he answers unprofessional and rude.I was going to take him for 3C, but I will not. He doesn't care about anything, he is just there to make extra money.

Dr. Hole is one of the worst professors I have ever had the displeasure of taking. His grading structure is abhorrently dishonorable, and he never justifies why points were taken off. He assigns work at random that was not stated in the syllabus, forcing students to do pages of work when no one had a way of preparing for it. DO NOT TAKE HIM.

He gives almost no feedback on both hw and test questions and certainly with no elaboration. He's an EXTREMELY tough grader, I nearly perfectly completed a question to the T on the final and he gave me a 4/10 on it because of 2 missing sets of vector arrows on a 2-page problem. Also, exams are 80% of your grade, dropped from 95 to 75 from the final

I took Prof. Hole for 3B in Summer 2022 and had the worse experience of my life. His lectures were awful. He has no regard for his students and is a very tough grader! He's just reading you the book like a bedtime story. He is unhelpful and can get very condescending when you point out any mistakes he made. DO NOT TAKE HIM!

10\10 do not recommend. midterm\final 80% of your grade. Test problems are 10x harder than the study guide. doesn't comment on why points are missing from homework, or tests... you're just wrong. Hand writing is impossible to read during lectures that he writes out on his tablet. Hw is all group work and you cant turn in your own hw.

Dr. Hole is the harshest grader I have ever seen. Everything is graded on written work and he will take entire grade points off for even small formatting mistakes. And if you try to appeal a grade, good luck. He believes he's always right and will use the Zoom meeting to demean and demoralize you. Avoid this professor at all costs.

This teacher is the worst teachers I have ever had in my life. He will demoralize you and prides himself in insulting students. He told me I should not be in his class after I asked him for support. Do yourself a favor and avoid this horrible human. Every negative review is true, trust me, I scoffed at them in the beginning but they are true.

Got unresonable points off, zoom with him, argue for 2 hours, no points back. DONT TAKE IT.

Took him for 3B. Half the class dropped before the final. The entire grade was made up of 2 exams. A midterm and a final. Once he realized the whole class was failing, he began to curve everything after stating " I don't curve, ever ". He belittles you for being confused if you ask any question in class. TAKE ANYONE ELSE.

I'll keep this short and simple: do NOT take this Professor. Every other negative review is accurate to what you'll experience if you take his class. Avoid at all costs.

Dr. Hole was by far the worst professor I have taken. I took him summer of 2023. Classes were long and boring. He was very unhelpful. I had to miss a few classes for work training and he told me to withdraw from the class or he would drop me himself. There was no reasoning with him. I do not know why saddleback still has him employed.

Taking Calc with this "professor" is a waste of your time. Lectures are boring and will put you to sleep. He makes everything the most complicated it can be! When he asks you to answer a question he wants you to be extremely specific or else you're wrong! If you don't show up on time, don't bother showing up at all. Homework is due before class!

Picture the teacher during Ferris Bueller's day off but if he was a passive aggressive with an ego so massive that Mount Everest envies its size. I put lecture heavy in a tag but that's deceptive as he doesn't lecture, he instead does example problems the whole two hours hoping you somehow catch onto a subject that he did not give you a lecture on

My class went from 43 students to amount 15 and only 8 showed up to the final. Dont bother taking this class.

Almost put poor instead of awful but I remember he was only nice after I burst into tears in OH. Was so picky I couldn't even ask a question and I already felt vulnerable because life and he made fun of me jogging to class. The man doesn't show outward positivity. I then got to class way before he did. He usually pulls up 3 mins before. Big L.

Honestly, the worst proffesor, hes rude and not understandable, he enjoys seeing the students suffer, the class isnt hard but he makes it. If you fail the midterm/final you fail the class since they are worth 90% of the grade. He makes easy and short things look extensive and hard. He also leaves a lot of homework but only calls u 3 times.

EXTREMELY rude, has no sympathy for his students.has pop quizzes on things we either just learned or haven't at all. it's like ur begging him for extra change when you're asking for half a point back on a 7 question test worth 70 points.makes everything he teaches more difficult than it actually is.Poor environment created by this teacher.

Professor was extremely rude and condescending, the concepts themselves are very easy but he tends to over explain and make things way more complicated than they should be. Your grade also will solely depend on one midterm and one final. If you're able to, I recommend taking this class with someone else. He also lacks empathy and personality.

Avoid this class at all costs. The professor is passive-aggressive with a massive ego, making lectures dull and unhelpful. Attendance is mandatory, but you'll likely be lost without prior calculus experience. Thankfully, Unstuck ai and other study tools can help pick up the slack.

Grade rubric: 80% exams and 20% participation points. Two exams and I was barely able to pass with a B-. He atleasts gives you partial points so you can get 1 point back if you tried atleast and didnt full on skip questions. Homework is optional and he uses the textbook. Goes through chapters so fast like 2 in 1 lecture but finish all the sections.

Make him quit teaching. He's bringing down every student's grades.

Exams will determine your whole grade. He doesn't give tasks where you could bring up your grade. You know there's something wrong with the professor when the class average is low. It's not even supposed to be a difficult class. He overexplains things that make simple concepts more confusing.

Worst professor he just does examples. There are two exams worth 70%. So all your grade depends on that. He does not teach he just yaps.

I thought if I studied hard enough I could make it through the class. Avg on the final was a 32% with no curve. Unless you're a genius do not take. This professor enjoys humiliating his students and feels superior to them. I retook w a diff professor and passed w an A

A true black hole of a class. Grade is based on 2 exams. Gives lengthy study guides yet very short exams. Does not like questions in class. Looks like there's something disgusting in his mouth at all times. Incredible how little help and support he gives. Yet to meet someone who passed out of the 10 people left by the end of the class.

took him last year. Nonsensical lectures. Graded by 4 things. Took him because he was the only one left. Dropped before the midterm. If you really have to take him just lock in ig. If there is any other prof TAKE THEM. 3B is already the hardest in calc sequence imo (ive finished 3B and 3C), he makes its as confusing as he can. good luck.

very condescending, lectures make no sense are explained in a very weird way that makes it more complicated than it needs to be, spent a lot of time on easy stuff and little time on harder stuff. Not allowed to use calculators for exams, and makes you purchase a textbook only to use it twice in class.
