The PACA course is absolute trash, but Holyfield made the tedious material fun and engaging. He was an excellent lecturer who focused primarily on the takeaways or big-picture items rather than rehashing the readings that were required. I highly recommend taking his course if you have the opportunity!

LOVE Professor Holyfield's insights, and willingness to share personal experiences. Going into the online class I was nervous about not establishing any connection with the Professor, or the other students. Prof. Holyfield made sure we all connected, felt heard, and safe to share. 12/10 would recommend this Professor!

William Holyfield is a great motivator. I often tell people at work 'Look alive' to get the blood flowing and people ready to go. Every session with William was lively, he reached out and got people to interact. He made sure everyone in the room was noticed and challenged people to give more than a one word answer. He really wants us to understand.

Dr Holyfield was a very kind instructor. You needed to be present and ready to contribute, but he was always there to help build people up and make them want to contribute. He seems to love what he does and wants all of his students to better themselves.

Mr. Holyfield was a great leader through the course. He took what was a required online class where a bunch of strangers, including himself, had to come together to be on camera weekly for those 7 weeks and kept it engaging and fun. He took something that I was initially skeptical about in the beginning and made it something enjoyable.

June 5, 2025- I took Mr. William's online course that was in a live Webex classroom. I did not think that I would enjoy nor do well, but Mr. William has a way of making others feel safe in the environment. I enjoyed the class and how he respected each person for who they were and never made anyone feel dumb or wrong for how they answered anything.
