Reviews of professor Mark Holden

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Really passionate about psychology and it shows in his lectures. Very accommodating towards his students and will always review his quizzes in case anything was wrong and will likely boost your grade that way. Giving him a 4 cause it was hard to stay focused during his asynchronous lectures. I assume he would be a 5 if it was synchronous.

Holden is a great prof! He is clearly passionate about what he teaches and is super caring and engaging with his students. I will say that his exams can be quite tricky though, so make sure you nail the study guides because the exams make up the majority of this course.

Dr. Holden is so caring and really makes his students feel like his equals. Prompt at answering emails and lectures were interesting, but test require the application of knowledge to situations and not just memorization, so make sure you know your content well. Other professors could really learn from him....he's the best.

Professor Holden was my favourite during online classes, he really tried to be engaging and obviously has a passion for his field. You are graded by a few things but he will help you out if you show improvement and really work hard. Would definitely take his class again

Anything on tests will be said in lectures so you have to pay attention. Test questions are application based so just understanding the concept and knowing your vocab isn't always enough. Best to imagine and apply examples. As a prof, he's a wonderful person and very caring.

Amazing prof! Super caring/accommodating. Good lectures, can get a bit boring but I think that's just online school. Activities, videos etc are incorporated to try and make lectures more engaging. I found the tests fairly difficult in terms of wording, but still very fair. Assignments are fun/easy and can boost your grade! Overall awesome class.

Very good professor. It may have been a bit hard to pay attention to asynchronous lectures, but that in no way is Mark's fault, it's just the nature of online lectures. The class was not too difficult, and Mark really gives you the time of day and puts in effort to make his lectures entertaining.

Professor Holden is by far one of the best professors I have ever had the pleasure to be taught by. His lectures are well-constructed and, most importantly, very engaging. He never assigned textbooks with the intention to save students some money. Overall, I strongly recommend taking a class with him!
