Reviews of professor Mark Holden

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Dr. Holden is a great professor. He is one of the few that actually wants to teach instead of do research which shows in his lectures. He has high enthusiasm and clearly explains concepts. I would highly recommend. This course is very interesting and very easy - exams are all multiple choice and there is no final. Assignments are a breeze!

Best prof I've ever had! Just be ready to take lots of notes because he does not use the textbook. He explains everything so well you don't we have to study for the midterms as long as you attend class regularly and take notes of all the examples he uses. His grading so super fair and is super considerate to those who are going through hard times.

Wow. Just wow. I never expected for an option class to be so enjoyable. The only bad reviews this guy has are people putting in zero effort. He puts up study guide, tests are true to them, assignments are open book use the slides, and his lectures are so worth going to at 9am. Take a class if you can he is amazing!!!!!

Took his class in Winter 2023 so this is late but after making it out of my third semester with some awful profs it reminded me how great he was. Did minimal studying for the exams and got an A+ on all just from showing up to all the lectures and reviewing the slides. He is incredibly fair with the exam questions and wants his students to succeed.

From the first lecture, you can tell clearly tell how much students matter in the class, and the mutual respect and importance expected for everyone

Incredibly engaging lectures, and fairly straightforward and easy content. Holden explains concepts in a very passionate and easy to follow manner. Tests and assignments follow are a breeze if you put in the time to study. He is very open to questions, and easy to reach out to after class.

He is AWESOME!! 
Cares about you. The TA marks amazingly. Unfortunately we did not have him for the last 2 tests for reasons so we had a new prof. He is awesome tho!!

The best prof I've had in my four years of uni. He really knows how to teach and not just talk, and delivers course material in a very interesting and clear way. Definitely recommend to take one of his classes even if you don't major/minor in psychology.

Holden is an amazing prof- great speaker, and doesn't explain things in complicated terms, but instead explains concepts in ways that you could even apply to your own life. When he gives lectures, it feels like your friend studying with you, someone who is reliable and relatable. Psych wasn't for me, but I wish more professors like him existed.
