Reviews of professor Michael Holland

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This teacher isn't a tough grader, he doesn't give too much homework, and the tests aren't that bad. The only problem is he's kinda boring. It's hard to pay attention because he's just talking and talking, no time for class discussions or anything like that. Also the slides are sometimes filled with too much recap. Overall, not a bad professor.

Listen guys, this class is designed to be difficult but the professor is teaching nice. I learned a lot from this class but the class is hard so be prepared to study a bit more and focus more on what he teaches during the class. Thatz it.

Professor Holland tells you exactly what assignments you need to do in the syllabus. There is no extra credit, but he does curve the grade to give students the opportunity to earn over 100 on some assignments. Lectures can be a little difficult to follow. He responds to emails and is helpful whenever you ask.

 The difficulty rating is more of a reflection of the class than the professor. He goes fast and the only way to get everything down is to look at the slides. TAs can grade harshly, but he will hear your case. He is also accessible outside of class and willing to help. Class is in-person almost no matter what.  Attendance is worth extra credit.

Bro, the lectures will make you want to cry. You end up teaching yourself because the slides are your only source of hope for comprehending anything. Slides and google are my new religion.
The attendance is 5% extra credit (not regular attendance grade) so show up anyway, you'll need it.

Extra credit is given for attendance (get it!!) Quizzes/homework aren't too difficult (for a good overall grade, do your best). The data analysis assignments are very difficult and take time (and graded harshly.) Prof. Holland is a bit intimidating at times. Start off on the right foot and you will be ok. You have to attend lecture to succeed.

The hardest part about this class is that there is a lot of homework consistently and when the R projects come around it can get a little overwhelming. I struggled a lot because I did not take stat 1 at GMU so learning R proved to be more difficult than I had thought. Good instructor of statistics, but does not make it very palatable for non-majors

The class is centered around his unfathomably boring lectures, so if you zone out or miss class you will fall far behind. Most of this class also centers around 3 huge assignments, 3 exams, and weekly homework assignments. For one, I would avoid him altogether, but avoid this course in general if your workload is already heavy.
