Law becomes very interesting in his class.

Made law fun and interesting but not a very easy marker

great guy! the material is a little difficult, but he makes it fun

Amazing instructor! Tough, but very fair.

tests and assisgnments are brutal

Tough tests and assignments, but he cares and is there to help.

EXCELLENT teacher! Definitly deserving of a hottness factor.

Peter is really funny and makes his classes really interesting. I would recommend to take law with him. like a stand up comedian, good for a night class.

Love his stories in law class

Entertaining, lively and gets the point accross

Good Class, but tough. Peter makes the class interesting.

harsh assignment. make flashcards from the notes he gives u and u'll be fine for exams. he's very entertaining. he'd be in showbusiness if he wasn't a lawyer. stories make tough material understandable. yay.

good class to take

GREAT TEACHER. Just read his notes and you'll do great. Study the old exams and your guarnteed at least a B.VERY ENTERTAINING !!!!

great teacher. hard teacher. study hard kids. thanks for a fun term Peter.

This is a hard class, but Peter is a great teacher! Keep up to date with the readings,make q-cards,and go to class to survive the exams. This class takes some effort on your part, but Peter improves it with his quirky sense of humour and funny stories.

all comments true. Peter rocks! Make sure you thoroughly double check his marking. (I found enough extras to boost me by a letter grade). I will definately be taking It'l trade law with him.

he's a very good teacher. Highly recommended. his lectures are real experinces and it sinks very easily. he midterms are very fun and enjoyable.

Yeah, Peter's a pretty good prof. Makes the class interesting. Anyone besides me think he looks like Michael Douglas?

Good guy, good teacher defintly keep this guy around

The most enjoyable class I have ever taken. His stories and examples are entertaining and educational. He knows his stuff very well. Very nice guy!

definetly a class you wanna go to!! HE's got great stories and is the funniest teacher i know at cap so far! I studied alot for the midterm exam and found that he is a damn hard marker..so when it comes to exam time..go above and beyond what you should study!

Peter is one of the funniest people I have ever met. This class is hard, but testing material is made very clear. He only tests you on things he actually talks about. Study HARD for the exams. It is just allot too remember. Great class. I definetly want to have Peter again for another course.

Peter is soooo Michael Douglas. I hate law but don't hold that against him. What's a case? All I remember is Hilda Hamhocker, he obviously married a woman with a sense of humour like himself.

peter is fun, humouous, effective, and an all-around excellent teacher; this is a class i look forward to. bring peter a donut, and say hi to Phyllis Frumpsteader and Arnold Abacus! oh yeah, study LOTS, and he is a hard marker.....

A Class Act Peter is the main reason I wish to persue Law in the future... well him and John Grisham =)

Peter is the best teacher. He's hard and you better study, but he's very fair and is willing to help. Not only that but totally hot! Peter will be missed!

Peter might be the best teacher in the school of business. His class will save your ass in the world of business....TAKE A CLASS WITH HIM!...hes not a hard marker because the material difficult so if you study at all you can get a good mark.

Great teacher, funny as hell, made law interesting. Exams are really tough, my class average was 65% on his midterm. He is helpful at times but if you bother him alot he withholds answer from you

Straight up #1 teacher at cap...nothing more needs to be said

awsome instructor, if not the best, one of the top 5 for sure. Funny as hell, yet quite serius and educated when it comes down to teaching. I didn't miss a single class eventhough I don't like law. Overall excellent.

Peter is an absolute genius. He is so funny and so smart, he is also a very decent person which everyone can respect! He made my law class my absolute favorite class even though it was pretty damn hard! BEST TEACHER EVER! Thanks Mr. Holden!!!

Great Teacher but study the torts for the midterm. I think he is the only person that could make such a boring subject interesting.

The best instructor I had in Cap. He is very clear in law. He makes law fun, and takes away the dullness of the textbook. I seriously recommend taking business law with this wonderful professor. He is a good teacher. He is the only one in college who knows actually how to teach law.

Good guy, funny, great stories.... but we went through the notes guide and he said certain questions would be on the test for PART B (5-10mrk Q) so i studied them and they weren't there so wtf. but besides screwing that up hes a good teacher and person.

Peter is awesome. Hes my favorite prof at cap. Hes a pretty tough marker, and you have to study hard for exams but he is very clear about that. Make sure you buy his course pack. He is also really funny.

Great great teacher. Definitely take this class. So helpful for the REAL WORLD. Excellent learning experience - excellent teacher!

Really cool guy...liked his teaching style!

One of the most amazing teachers I have had at cap. He explains every thing taught with an anecdotal story, to make you understand the reason behind each law. The exercises he makes you do help immensly to understand the law. Use common sense and intelligence and you will do very well!

Great teacher! I thought Law would be dry, but he brings it to life. With real-life examples, and extensive knowledge of what he teaches, it is clear that he enjoys teaching, and that all of his students enjoy his class.

thought law would be boring, but his stories allow you to comprehend what the law terms really mean. The stories really helped during the exams because you can picture him telling them (they are pretty funny) while you write

I thought Business Law was going to be boring. Peter made this class so fun for me that i learned everything without much effort he tells really fun stories which make the concepts stick with you for life. he is the best prof i have ever had and i cannot beleive profs like him even exist i absolutely love him and the way he teaches he is amazing.

I LOVE HIM!!! He's honestly the best teacher I have ever had in my 15 years of education! SOOO much fun and absolutely hilarious! Makes you never want to miss a class, its actually entertaining just to sit and listen to his stories (and he has LOTS of stories!) And he's just the cutest little thing ever!

he is an awesome teacher!he is my favourite!great sense of humor.always there to help you i loved his class i wish he taught more classes =]

he was an awesome teacher!! he is there for you when you need him.always answers your questions =] i loved his class. i wish he taught more classes. i totally recommend him. he knows his stuff. =] my favourite teacher =]

The bestest teacher you could ever have! hes always there for you. answers your questions. makes class fun. =] i definitely recommend him.

Very very entertaining class. I learnt A LOT that can be related to many things you will experience in real life. However there are other teachers who allow you to use open text book for tests. Peter Holden's tests take hours upon hours of memorizing everything in order to do decently

Peter is a really entertaining guy. He knows so much about the subject. He's also got a lot of entertaining stories to tell. The midterm in this class is brutal tho. He doesn't seem to like to repeat himself when answering questions.

Peter is a great teacher! Perfect example of a first year teacher, tells so many stories and explains everything in real life terms. You will enjoy his class if you like his corny jokes! exams are long and hard, other teachers allow open book for the exams, he does not. take his class either way because you will actually learn so much!!!

Great, entertaining teacher that can make a boring class fun. However, information on assignments and marking criteria are rarely defined. He is also rarely available during office hours. Would definitely take one of his classes again.

Very entertaining guy, many stories. Very knowledgeable about topics. I showed up to 75% classes baked and still managed an alright grade. only downside is hard midterm and exam

best teacher ever. always helpful and his stories make the class. it makes it relevent, not just out of some book.

Great teacher! very interesting stories, very clear. Great notes (didn't read a single page of the text book). would recommend!

Peter...Is...Fantastic. He takes an intensely dull subject (Canadian business law) and makes it interesting and pertinent. Out of all of my classes, this is the one I most often found myself discussing outside of class. Be warned: his teaching style is informal but his marking style is extremely strict, so his attrition rate is pretty high...

Classes material is often boring, but his examples are usually quite entertaining. Very fair marker

Best teacher by far! Has a lot of interesting stories that help teach you the content of the course. Just study hard for midterm and finals and you will do fine!

Best teacher at cap! I took 3 classes with him and loved every single one. He's so interesting to listen to that you actually look forward to his classes!

Peter is an excellent teacher with a huge depth of knowledge. He does use storytelling as a tool for teaching, but I found that it enriched my learning and helped me understand the material. He's funny, interesting and a great teacher. Highly recommend.

Peter is a good prof., but BADM107 is not an easy A if you do not study and make notes. His lectures are interesting, and he is a funny guy. I appreciate that his materials include past midterm and final exams, so students know what to expect from him. He also accepts old textbook editions.

I highly recommend taking a class with Peter if you have the chance! I took BADM307 as an elective and enjoyed the class a lot more than expected. Peter uses his real life experience to liven up what has the potential to be a very dull class. And as he said on the first day of class, flashcards are ridiculously helpful.

I took Advanced Business Law 307 with him, and boy is it ever fun. He's really nice, funny and has good stories to tell and can apply himself really really well. Word of warning though, if you hate lectures where the prof just talks the whole class, you won't enjoy him. Grades usually depend on your presentation skills :)

Peter is a very friendly and helpful instructor, he will be there when you need help. However, you have to study hard and read the textbook, otherwise it is impossible to finish his contract assignment/risk management assignment. Be ready to expect exam dates changing haha, it changed 2 times for the midterm.

Peter is a lawyer by education and it shows. He's a hard marker, but if you work, it will be in your favour. Overall, I really enjoyed his lectures. Buy the class booklet, the actual book is not really needed. Do the exams in the booklet.

Great professor! Lectures are interesting and engaging. He does tell a lot of stories, but they add flavour to the class by highlighting real world applications. Assignments are very straightforward as long as you pay attention in class. And he's very approachable and easy to work with. Easily one of the best professors around :)

1) Tough - You need to study, read and use logical sense to understand the law material. Just memorizing won't help. However this class is easier than average law class, because this contains international business elements (management, marketing, negotiation ...) 2) Ask for help when you need, he is really helpful and willing to clarify.

Peter is one of the best Professors in Capilano University. His lectures are clear, interactive and super entertaining. Participation is not mandatory but I think it should be.

Peter is an interesting teacher, his class is enjoyable to attend. The only issue is his assignment and tests are way too difficult for a first year course. He expects a high level of understanding of the law that is difficult if you have never taken a class in it before. Be prepared to work hard.

Peter is a great teacher. He is interesting and engaging. The contract assignment is difficult but the exams are easy. If you listen in class he tells you exactly what will be on the exam. His lecture slides are a great studying point.

Excellent instructor. Very clear + makes the law lectures interesting - easy to understand. I started the semester expecting a boring course but he makes it fun. Exams are well prepared, if you come to every class and pay attention you should have no problem. Participation is required. Buy the extra course material. Work for your marks.

This guy is a decent teacher... Has a quirky sense of humour that he uses through the case studies he creates for the course. Super nice guy and is a fair grader. Instructions are clear and if you need further clarification he is good at explaining things further. I would recommend.

Peter is one of the best teachers at Cap. His classes are interesting and his tests are so easy. Honestly, all of the people complaining are clearly the students that didn't go to class. If you show up and listen, he tells you exactly what will be on the exam! It's an easy A and you will have fun in his lectures.

IBUS 340 ( International business law) itself is not an easy course. But with Peter, you will love it. Best instructor ever.

Awesome teacher. Open minded and entertaining. Clearly wise beyond his years. This is a great professor don't miss out on his lectures. Does a great job of incorporating real life situations and experiences making the material relevant in life. His teachings have actually come in handy in the real world.

There is a LOT to learn in this course but with Peter's guidance and eagerness to help you, you will pass with flying colours, as long as you put in the reading and study time! Peter knows his topic inside and out and makes Canadian Business Law so much fun - how is that even possible? Hands down my favourite course.

This a course that's going to help me my whole life. Peter makes it so easy if you go to class and do the assignments. He lectures cause there's so much info, but he's really entertaining. The students who don't like the course don't do the work - simple. He will help if you are lost. He basically tells you what's on the exam BEST TEACHER EVER

I've taken Peter for a few courses now and love his real life story. Being a lawyer, he has an uncanny ability to use anecdotes to convey teaching points. Though a dry humour, he's hilarious. One of my favourites at CapU.

Peter knows law. I have learnt more in this class than any other class I have taken at cap. As long as you show up, take notes and listen, you will do great. Peter is very helpful and the coursework is very manageable. You will learn more than you need to know for not only business but for life. Definitely recommend.

BADM 107 was great, essential for your education and everyday life. The people complaining either didn't show up or didn't listen. Good luck in the business world if you can't handle a little hard work and grit.

Peter is one of the best teachers at Cap. Does not make the course difficult like other teachers. He is very VERY nice teacher. Easy A if you just attend class, lay back and listen to him, take few notes here and there. You're good to go. Actually, i look for courses by his name, any course he teaches, just take it.

One of the assignments was unclear but overall Peter is actually a really good teacher. If you ask him for help he will help you. Parts of his exam are a bit tricky and difficult but if you go to class and follow his instructions you'll get a good grade. Really good teacher.

for this course you must study the book and attend the classes , he is very very knowledgeable , helpful and funny It never gets boring in his classes and he always has a case as an example listen to him and his lectures and you will easily get a good mark

I had 3 classes with Peter, he is fun and always keeps class enjoying with his stories. He almost always have a story or something to say about any education material. But, make sure to understand a lot of material, because the tests are too long and you should memorize a lot to get A or B. If you are taking BADM 101, you will pass it easily.

He is very friendly and patient to all his students. Always smile, always trying to make class or exam interesting. Really like him.

Amazing teacher and person. Some lectures can be dry and boring. Tells lots of stories from his experience as a lawyer. Recommend seeing him in his office hours as it helps alot; especially with assignments. Easy to talk to. Go to class because sometimes he will tell what is on the tests and some notes are not on moodle.

I really liked Peter as a Prof. I learn well when examples are given and he has many stories to tell. He was extremely easy to talk to. Amazing person, very knowledgeable. Was hard subject to learn. I enjoyed the subject I was barely passing. I got out with a C+. Tests are long, if you know your stuff you'll be fine You NEED to study and memorize

Lots of material, however, Peter uses many of his own experiences to add context and understanding. It's business law so memorization is important, however, the key to assignments and exams is the ablility to critically analyze the questions in order to better apply the law. If your logic is tight, you'll do well.

One of the best professors I've ever had. Some said he's tough, or his lecture is unexciting, but I find most of his lectures quite interesting and fun to listen to. He likes to teach through his own experience. You NEED to read the book, memorize essential things, and listen to his tips and tricks to get a good grade (it's a law class c'mon).

Tough grader & the main project was vague at the start- with that being said he's easy to get in touch with via email and readily answered all my questions in depth. Did not need the textbook at all but as long as you're taking notes of his lectures & listening to what he's saying you're good. Will straight up tell you what's on the exams.

If you want to actually learn something take Peters's class. If you're soft, go somewhere else. Apply yourself, invest in your learning and you'll do well. Took 107 + 340 with him. Tests are HARD. His classes weed out the weak. Come to class, ask questions, take notes, don't be shy. The people who complain about Peter are the ones who did poorly

Easy going!

He is literally the best professor I've ever met.His lectures are so damn great.There is going to be a lotta reading though and you gotta work real hard,but seriously,take his class.

Everyone saying he is a bad prof is lazy. Took BADM268 w/ Peter in a CONDENSCED summer sem and still finished with 90% - he's the easiest marker. The assignments were very fair and the exam was a breeze. He is a great lecturer and is such a nice old man. If you ask for help, he will do more than that. He is ALWAYS reachable and answers super quick.

He teaches quite well in class but don't worry if you somehow missed his lecture his lectures are also available on youtube

He is an amazing professor with lectures that keeps your attention. As long as you show up to class you will not fall behind. He is an old school teacher with paper and pen. He is gracious with giving extra credit if you have a good excuse for missing an assignment. You know where you stand with the guy and what you need to accomplish to get an A.

Don't listen to all these people whining in here. They are just lazy, wanting easy credits. Peter Holden is a excellent professor. If you ACTUALLY want to learn Business Law, he is the guy to take. He's a retired lawyer, who teaches through his experiences. He teaches you the law and how not to fail or get sued while you build a business.

As long as you go to class and listen, he gives you a breakdown of what exactly will be tested. Participation is a must in this class so if it's just for credit, maybe avoid. Can be a little confusing at times but very accessible via email and will take the time to listen and help you with any questions. Really kind and caring prof!

he's a great guy but i agree with the person that said he's not for teaching. i never payed attention in class bc i could not focus, his yt videos saved me. i had a perfect gpa and his class ruined it. there's a bunch on final/midterm that he doesn't teach in class and you have to guess. but overall an amazing person and gave me extra marks

Probably my favorite professor in my 3 years at Cap. Seems as though some students in here are trying to sabotage his good rating. The people upset in here are either lazy or wanted an easy grade. He's a retired lawyer who actually teaches you about law. I've learned so much from him and got a good grade because I paid attention and showed up.

Probably my favorite professor I've had in my 3 years at Cap. Hes controversial because of his teaching style which is where he talks the whole class about his lifes work as a lawyer and he ties it into the lesson. I liked his class because he doesn't just teach you what the law is, he teaches you why. You have to care and pay attention to succeed.

Interesting lectures and content. Strict, but fair. Get ready to read and learn a lot in this class. Practical lessons where students act as a real company.
