If you have the chance to take Dr. Hollier's class - do it. He is a Jedi of his craft. This man will make you understand A&P. You can get an A, but you will work for it. I cannot image taking a better A&P class.

This was my second time taking Mr. Hollier, and I absolutely love him! All assignments, H.W, quizzes, tutorials, are taken via the mastering website. His tests are pretty straight forward if you're keeping up with material. He offers up to 10 pts extra after each test. If you are taking him for micro, make sure you know those "important topics."

Dr. Hollier is an encouraging biology professor. You are guaranteed a good grade if you are willing to work for it. He gives clear objectives. He posts all the learning modules online. He gives exam statistics. He goes one step further with a higher standard than many other professors here in teaching. Good for GPC.

Great instructor. Took him online for micro lecture and in class for lab. Very clear of what needs to be done, lots of work, lots of materials to help you learn. At the end you really know your stuff. Great prep for nursing, if you can't handle this then you probably can't handle nursing. Definitely recommend unless you're a slacker.

He is great for lab. The others probably didnt want to do the work. The work is easy if you read the lab guide he gives and follow his directions. He tells you word for word what to write and yet some people still cannot do that. He will look over your work for you before turning it, except the unknown report. Definitely take him if you can.

12 lab reports to do- they were split in half. Half of them due all at the same time one day and the other half due all at the same time another day. Tests are so hard you HAVE to use your resources to get the answers. His lectures don't help that much with the tests. You learn new things when you take the tests! Harsh and unfair grader.

Prof Hollier is an amazing teacher. There were only 2 written lab reports in Micro lab and he gave you half of both of them word for word if you wrote it down. He would also check your lab reports if you had them done at least 3 days before the due date. You have to prepare before class or you won't know what your doing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Great class and teacher. Dr Hollier is very helpful and knows the material. He helps you if you need it & go to him. His tests are about normal & he tests you each week. I took this course with a different instructor last semester with only 4 tests. That was too much material on a single test. Weekly tests make it more manageable. Highly recommend.

You have to be motivated to take any online class. Prof H provides extensive learning materials including recorded lectures. Test are weekly more frequent & covering less material.

This was a very difficult class. He is big on plagiarism and has you recorded while taking test and quizzes. The QZ are about 10 question give or take, which has multiple answers, so its very difficult to pass. A paragraph section of the test will help with your poor excuse of a grade on the multiple-choice quiz you just took.

I took Dr Hollier for minimester A&P. It was fast and hard, but I learned a lot. I earned an A in both lecture and lab. Make sure you watch his lectures and take notes. His tests come from those lectures! Expect to work hard and have no life.

You have to work out your own time as there are no live sessions online. Everything is recorded to watch on your time. He did have tutoring at different times each day which helped. If you dont ask for help then he wont contact you if you are doing bad. You have to put in the effort.

Omg I am so glad to be free from this class it sucked. Professor just throws things your way and you learn on your own pretty much. Theres more than 1 final as well and all test are multi select of craziness. Only thing you'll learn from this class is how to manage stress because its all it caused and he wasnt any help.

This class was hard at first until I worked out how to study. Watch his lectures and use his notes. Most questions on the tests come from those. I tried YouTube first and that didnt help. He told us his questions came from his material. He drops 2 test grades, so my bad studying didnt hurt my grade when I got it worked out. Thanks Dr Hollier.

Online classes are harder than in person classes. You need to manage your time to watch the lectures and not put it off. Online does not mean 30 minutes a week and you get an A. Be realistic. You want an A then you have to go to virtual class (watch lectures) AND study outside of virtual class. That means a lot of time each week.

Professor Hollier posts class statistics for all assignments. The averages were in the upper 70s to lower 80s most of the time. The class distributions show3d a few students did bad, in the 20s. These students complained to the rest of the class. They stated they did an hour a week. Get real. An hour a week for an A? Lazy. Do the work and its ok.
