Ian Hollenbaugh

Not sure what's with the dislikes on the last two. Had him for the same class. Chill guy, not too much work

I had Ian for a first year seminar, linguistic approaches to comparative mythology, and he was an excellent professor. Super knowledgeable, funny, and passionate. Homework was consistent but not too much and always relevant. I feel like I learned a lot.

Great person with a dry sense of humor. Homework/grading is pretty easy which lets you just enjoy the class. Lectures are interesting; he's clearly a very knowledgeable linguist and you're always learning new things to think about. Fantastic guy

His lectures are interesting, and doing the reading is important to stay on top of everything. He gives quizzes about every two weeks, and they test understanding and ability to apply information (only a little memorization). The prof. is great, and the class is fascinating. I would highly recommend taking the class.

You have to go to class and pay attention. You have to do the reading. The night before a quiz you should do the practice exercises. That's the whole class structure. I absolutely loved it. Fascinating subject and Ian was a great professor. Moves pretty quickly, but I learned a ton. Highly recommend. Doesn't require a ton of time outside of class.

Dr. Hollenbaugh was an amazing professor. The tests required work but tested understanding, not memorization and the class was informal in a good way (though it would have been nice to have some more partner work). Make sure to do all the readings and practice questions as early as you can though as the class covers a LOT and moves quickly.

Make sure you do the readings and recommended exercises fo reach chapter before quizzes. If you do these consistently, should be fine. Good prof, interesting class.
