HIST 324
Fantastic Professor! He is extremely enthusiastic about what he teaches and you WILL enjoy learning in his class. As long as you come to class, pay attention, and take notes you will do well. I can't wait to take another class with him next semester!
HIST 324
Great professor. Exams are a little difficult, but I learned so much from this course.
HIST323
He was very enthusiastic. He made greek history come alive! He makes it easy to get a good grade if you come to class and listen and take notes. Take lots of notes!! The class overall was very fun. Hes makes a lot of jokes and keeps it interesting.
HIST323
One of the best professors on campus. After having taken four classes from him, I am terribly sad that there are no more left I can take. He's very clear in letting you know what is expected in the class. His grading is fair and reasonable. The tests are designed so that if you paid attention in class, you will do well. Ave Holoka!
LATN101
Great professor! I am a Bio major and have no interest in Latin and I enjoy coming to his class. He is very clear on what is expected. Quizzes weekly, a chapter a week (usually), midterm, and final. He calls on people at random just like in high school. So make sure to pay attention and do your hw! (even though its not graded)
HST323
By far one of the best professors at Eastern, I have had two classes with him and I am taking a third one. His classes are interesting and fun, he also covers some pretty inspiring topics and characters. Showing up to class is must if your aiming for a good grade. The grading is pretty fair as well.
HIST323
Absolutely the best professor I have had at Eastern. I was excited to go to class every day, I even signed up for a class with him next semester even though I do not require the class for my major or minor.
HST323
Great Professor. Very helpful and knows his stuff. Makes the class very interesting. highly recommend. Going to class is a must as most testing material is covered in class.
HIST324
Professor Holoka, is by far the BEST professor at Eastern. He is so entertaining during his lectures, and extremely easy to talk to. It is very important to go to class because there is so much material he goes over, and not going will definitely show in your grades. I would recommend him to everyone, history majors & non history majors!
HST323
I thought Hot or Not was in reference to how fun the class was, not appearance. Well, the class is fun anyhow. Not hard so much as challenging, nothing unfair.
CLAS301
Professor Holoka is amazing! He's fluent in both Latin and Ancient Greek and practically has an encyclopedia of information in his head. He's enthusiastic and really makes learning the subject fun. Taking classes with him makes my semester(s) so much better.
HIST323
Professor Holoka is great! I knew nothing about Greek History when I took his course, and came out the other end educated and with a deep appreciation of the subject. He really cares about his subject and teaching, and if you take him you will learn! I think of him as what all college professors should be! Just make sure you go to every class!
HIST323
I highly recommend this professor! He's a classic professor type, with mainly lectures, but he keeps the class engaged and really knows what he's talking about (doesn't need to refer to notes during lectures). His grading is made up of quizzes and exams, and they aren't easy, but if you study you'll do fine, and he gives you the benefit in the end.
CLAS301
Professor Holoka is a most excellent teacher! His lectures are very structured and easy to understand, even if some of the material is heavy. If you go in knowing nothing, pay attention to him and read the assignments, you will come out with a well-rounded bank of knowledge on the subject.
GREK101
Took him for an ancient language class and succeeded in a language class more than I ever had before. Attendance is verryyy important, so don't register if you don't plan to attend class or do quite a bit of studying. Vocab quizzes every other class period and two exams. Requires you to do reading and translating aloud in front of peers. Great prof
HIST323
Holoka is my favorite professor here at EMU. He makes the subject extremely interesting, and he is challenging enough to make you think. I love going to his classes!
LITR106
Great lecturer. He truly knows a lot about Ancient Rome, a I learned a lot from him. However, he is an outrageous essay grader. He essentially tells you that your writing sucks and practically rewrites the whole paper, word for word almost! In person, he is helpful, but comes off as a bit haughty. Overall, a lukewarm teacher.
