Reviews of professor Eric Holzman

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Eric is very knowledgeable and a good professor. His exams and quizzes aren't easy but he gives you study guides that closely reflect what he is going to test. His lectures can be a bit dry but overall he is a nice guy and wants you to do well and understand the material.

He just isn't a good professor. He takes an hour and twenty minutes of your day to explain material that should only take forty minutes at most. Very dry and boring lecturer, and a cumulative final. Did not do anything to ease the burden on his students during the COVID outbreak and actually made the class harder. You will fall asleep in class 100%

Professor Holzman is awesome!! He is very accessible outside of class and genuinely wants to help his students. He randomly calls on students a few times throughout the semester as part of the participation grade but you don't have to get the answer right you just have to try. You don't need to read, lectures are easy to follow, tests are clear!

3200 is not a hard class if you have retained the main concepts from 2200. He has two quizzes and two exams with questions similar to what is covered in class. Lectures are very dry but the handouts he gives out are good to study from. Curves the class average to a B. Book problems are usually harder than anything on the quizzes or tests.

His lectures are dry, and he doesn't explain things well. You can get his lecture information straight out of the book. He gives out a worksheet with problems every class which are helpful for the exam. The exams are pretty tough but some of the questions come from the worksheets, practice, and quizzes. He is willing to help you outside of class.

He is not the best professor in the world - he can't explain things very well and lectures basically are regurgitated material straight from the book. If there is the option to NOT take him, do it. He's a good person and likes his students but teaching is not for him. Would not recommend to anyone

Eric is the best professor Ive had at fisher. Class is so organized and extra book problems are helpful. Pay attention in lecture and the class handouts and quizzes will prepare you for his exams. He also cares about students interested in accounting career fields and gave me great advice regarding my major. He is awesome, take him!!

Worst professor I have ever had. Goes by really fast and does not answer questions. Not interested in helping students.

Really annoying to be in his class. He goes super fast and does not really answer questions clearly. He also assigns quizzes and doesn't remind you when they are coming up. There is very little room for error on his tests. If you miss two questions, you are down to a B. Overall, I'd prefer other professors for sure.
