Reviews of professor David Holness

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Avoid taking any class with this professor.  I am almost finished with my degree and I have NEVER missed points on my initial discussion questions.  The feedback was always the same and when emailed to ask him to show me specifically where I could make improvements, he told me to refer to the syllabus, which I had.

He brags about his experience in entrepreneurship, which is a portable drug testing kit that would be best suited for a street level drug dealer since pharmaceutical companies already have their own equipment that is much better suited. Yet he belittles the ideas of students that are actively making money with their own entrepreneurial endeavors.

This class was WAY harder than it needed to be. The professor did not explain anything, expected you to basically learn on your own and then graded very harshly, impossible to get a good grade. All of his feedback seemed like he Chat GPT'd it, it was so technical sounding, hard to make sense of. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS or get another teacher.

His grading is impossible. Stay away. He ignore emails (when he claims that is the best way to contact him). Should not be a professor for any nursing classes relating to business.

I held a 4.0 GPA throughout my entire undergrad until I took his class. I followed his rubrics and instructions verbatim only to be told that I should have gone above and beyond to get an "A". When asked what it takes to get an "A" in his class, he could not tell me. It is very easy to get a B in his class, but A's are reserved for the chosen few.

Does not grade according to rubric - grades based on his own opinions. Does not provide constructive feedback. 

Overall a very poor instructor, my entire group of 5 disliked him as an instructor. 

Would avoid his classes again at all costs.

After reading all of these negative comments about this professor and considering my interaction with this horrible teacher, it concerns me that Grand Canyon University would employ such a deplorable character. Do they condone this sort of behavior? I hope not. Any professor that likes to see their students fail, should not teach in my opinion.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TAKE THIS PROFESSOR IF YOU CARE ABOUT GRADES! I REPEAT! DROP THE CLASS. Don't read a review and think you are above this professor. He is HORRIBLE! Doesn't care at all! Grades whatever he feels for the day. Nothing is graded to rubric, nothing makes sense.  #DROPTHECLASS.

I Checked professor's ratings before enrolling and saw the bad reviews and still decided to take class, regretted it after. Unreasonably tough grading, vague rubrics, deducted points regardless. Aimed for B, asked for help, got B- with no support for makeup points, falling short by 12.
