Comment:
I had Dr. Holland for College Physics I & II at RLC, and at first it was very difficult. As I got more used to the course, it was manageable. His tests are open book. The homework isn't for a grade, but the problems are very similar to the test. He gives in-class extra credit and you are allowed to work together. Labs are an easy A.

Comment:
I did horribly in the 1st half of physics and hated it. Then I took the 2nd half with Dr. Holland and have a new appreciation for physics. He makes the subject interesting and easy to understand. He also has an obvious love for physics that shows through his teaching, rubbing off on his students! Highly recommended.

Best science teacher ever! I have no interest in physics, but he is funny, very understanding, laid back, makes the class entertaining, and explains concepts very well.

Comment:
Holland is the best physics teacher I have ever had. I took 5 classes with him. He's nice, funny, clear, helpful, and makes even quantum mechanics seem easy. He teaches toward the homework and tests. You'll keep the textbooks as references forever. Take as many classes as you can with this guy because you'll never have a better science teacher!
