Reviews of professor David Holness

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Extremely hard grader. Be prepared to work extremely hard to exceed anything the rubric asks for. Even when following rubric, he will still count off saying it could have been better. Does not reply back if you reach out for help/questions. Feedback is very vague and does not seem to care.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Very subjective grading with no constructive feedback to write to his preferred style. Skip his classes as much as you can because he is a bad teacher. Should never be allowed to teach adult students because he has no respect for students and provides no support for growth. He has low expectations of his students. Avoid him like the pandemic!!!

STAY AWAY! He divides the class into groups so that he does not have to do as much work. He will give the team member that does nothing the same grade as the person that wrote the entire report by themselves. He engages in unethical grading practices. He also engages in retaliatory grading, He does not answer direct questions, He should not teach.

Only complaint is that he'll knock off a point or two without explanation. It adds up, but he's not actually that tough of a grader. Ending the class with a B+ and I have never tried less in a class or helped less in group projects. He is the most interactive in discussions out of my 8 GCU classes. Not my favorite prof, but not as bad as they say.

I have never had a Professor just blatantly disregard his students. I reached out for help with lots of specific questions, which none were answered. Grading was impossible. Comments that he wrote were that I did everything I should, yet points were still taken off with no explanation why. DO STAY AWAY! There is no win here.
