Holliday is a interesting guy with a dark sense of humor. Coffee lover like myself. He was so kind to help me last minute write a speech for another class. No textbook and no homework. Essays are assigned without much instruction, gives good feedback though. Simple class, just show up and turn in papers.

Professor Holliday is a cool laid back guy. His workload is almost nothing. You will have to read boring Hamlet and talk about Shakespeare. The essays are long and hard. But he will help you 100% Take him you will Pass. He is different sometimes but overall there is a mutual respect between him and his students!

Mr. Holliday is great! It's so easy to get an A in his class because he outlines all of the papers in class for you; it's up to you to do the rest. He gives good feedback and helps you out a lot. He's also hilarious! Never a boring day in his class.

Professor Holliday is absolutely amazing and hilarious (seriously the funniest person I have ever met), although english can be boring and exhausting he gives plenty of time to do essays and only 4 of them! No tests or outside readings, IF YOU CAN TAKE PROFESSOR HOLLIDAY YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

I'm going to be brutally honest, he has an incredible sense of dark humor and it depends on you if that's something you're comfortable with or not. I will tell you this, he will be there for you and will give you little to no work. He is very flexible on grading, so you will be guaranteed to pass, but like I said, be prepared for degrading comments

He is a different professor, he is fun, you have to have thick skin if you want him, but he is a cool professor. it is so easy to get a good grade in his class, if you do the reading. He has very specific requirements, however, he gives you all the tools to succeed. You will laugh every single class.

Truly, one of the few professors I loved coming to he is hilarious and caring to deadlines only give 4 essays, lets us out of class early when there isn't much else to do and is very thorough with explaining what needs to be done. Little homework literally there is only essays and going over essay prompts. Im taking him for Comp 2 Spring semester.

I'm taking this class online and it's pretty straightforward. It's literally 4 essays and small assignments in between them. I would give him 5 stars but, lately, he hasn't been responding to my emails and hasn't posted new work in over a week. He accepts late work so that's pretty good.

Professor Holliday is a phenomenal teacher, my only regret is not interacting more in his class. He is hilarious and just a down to earth guy, he'll joke with you but never crosses the line. He will work with you and grade your essay drafts before the due date and tell you what to fix and how. Loved this teacher and if you have him ENJOY!

Professor Clark is one of the easiest professors I had. Even though I hate English as a whole but Professor Holliday makes it work. He have a lot of dad jokes but he is very clear on what he wants from you in your essays and he does give a lot of feedback after you complete your essays. Overall I give a 10/10. Very cool, and laid back.

I loved having him as an English Professor! The class has a total of 4 essays, but do not procrastinate and submit your rough draft to him for sure. He sends back your essay within a day or two with things you can fix to get it to that A grade. The topics are boring but easy. Hes there to help your grade, not bring it down. 100% would take it again

This class was a challenge for me even as someone who likes English. Not only are the regular assignments and papers lengthy, but there were also a lot of elements that I found unnecessary for a freshman English class. Get ready to write a lot and be graded harshly. Just one misplaced comma will even bring you down a few points.

I just took him for the Summer Term and it was chill. First few weeks there were only two assignments per week. Then after that just one assignment a week due Saturday night. He gives good feedback to help you improve in future essays. Laidback when it came to late work. Barely any essays. The final exam was just a few short written questions.
