Reviews of professor Michael Holt

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I swear this is the worst ever instructor/professor I have met in college. He basically taught nothing and kept changing the syllabus during the semester (after half of the semester, he told us he decided to add projects to the grading; two weeks before the finals, he told us that he would have two finals instead of one; he put fowards due day...)

The worst prof I have ever seen. He basically taught nothing, had many typos and assigned lots of homework making you repeat some meaningless practice. The course content is far from enough for the whole semester, CI, odds, logistics and poisson regression and some R packages. I think the knowledge is just like a 3 weeks-length course.

He is very knowledgeable about accounting. However his teaching style is not the best. His exams are a bit tricky though. There are numerous questions on his exams that he does not go over in class, making homework/quizzes wastes of time it seems. Also, for a guy who worked in accounting his whole life, he sure does not know how technology works.

Constantly changing the syllabus, requirements, and structure of the course at his whim; you miss one lecture and suddenly you don't know the breakdown of your grade anymore. I tried talking to him about statistics grad school and he had little to no interest in holding the conversation. Hopefully will improve because he's pretty new to lecturing.

My friends told me that he was not very careful last semester. But now i'm taking his class of STAT 479 of SAS, I think he is getting better and really patient. The pace of class is good.

Course is difficult now matter who you take it with, but he's your best choice by far. He made our overall grades based on our exam averages, but he gave us extra credit opportunities to make up for our low scores. Homework, projects, and reading is time consuming, but you get multiple attempts and he counts the highest score

Mike is super chill and extremely kind. He cares about the success of his students and really listens to their concerns. Attendance is not mandatory but you will not do well if you don't go to class--it is very beneficial. The course work is difficult but he is more than happy to help you understand. 10/10 would recommend.
