Brett Holfeld is one of the best professors I've ever had so far in my 2 years of university. He is so kind and his classes are funny, BEST PROF EVER!!! Definitely would recommend him.

I took Brett for developmental psychology (2025) he's an awesome professor, provides slides but they have minimal information so showing up is beneficial, but he relies on the text book so if you miss class you can use the slides as a guide. He speaks very clearly and slowly, repeating what he says so everyone has a chance to get the notes!

Brett did not post many notes online, therefore to get the information you had to show up to class. He tried his best to make the lectures engaging and include many videos as the material can be a bit dry. Overall he is a great prof.

Brett is a great prof. He uses in-class demos and engages you throughout. He does go a little fast, so you need to be a fast writer, as he does not put all information on the slides.

Brett is one of the best psych profs in the department--in my opinion. He makes the material clear and enjoyable. Would definitely take the courses I had him for again, they were my favourite 2XXX's so far. Such a friendly guy and easy to talk to.

An amazing professor and person. Have taken a few courses with this prof. Always answers emails and is always in his office to answer questions. Lectures can be dry. If there is a participation grade then go to class! Very understanding and always willing to help.

I really enjoyed the way he does his lectures. He speaks very slowly and clearly, and often repeats the important things. His tests are application based and not overly hard, but you definitely need to read the textbook. One of my favourite profs so far!

Brett is a decent prof. He explained things well in lectures and gave clear feedback on papers. Downsides were that the multiple choice on his tests were very difficult and that his lectures were sometimes hard to listen to as he talks in a slow, monotone voice. Im not sure what hes like in person but he comes across as kinda intimidating online.

Brett Holfeld is the best professor I have had. He explains course concepts extremely CLEAR and there are two tests, mini assignments, and a final. On the tests, he uses applied questions, but I really like it. Social psychology is the most interesting course I have ever done. Highly recommend, you will learn a lot of important things in life!!! :)

Great prof, posts lectures in video form into Brightspace. Two midterms one final and a few quizzes. Nice guy. No complaints.
