This class is not easy! You will need to go to class every day, reread lecture/book notes, and study throughout the entire semester, not just when exams are coming up.

Awesome professor! He is accessible outside of class so don't hesitate shooting him a message for any questions. He is also very understanding of the circumstances we are having due to the pandemic. There is one research paper due at the end of the semester. He was kind enough to look at my draft and provide feedback before I submitted mine.

Professor Linder was amazing. He was very understanding and aloud make-up exams or late work if you had a good excuse! A lot of Labs but theyre not that hard. Hes very lenient on grading & wants his students to pass. Exams werent that hard and homework was easy!

Professor Linder is a gem not only as a professor, but as a human. He really cares about his students and their success. He accommodated certain needs that I had due to my mental health conditions so I would be more successful with lab and it really helped! He gives a lot of work, but it is all necessary to understand the material

My course is hybrid with lab in person; there's recorded content online, but he also takes time during lab to lecture about the given topic and he is great at doing so. I don't think I've ever learned better from a professor than I have from Linder's labs. He's also pretty reasonable as far as exams go. You won't regret choosing him as your prof.!

One of the HARDEST class ive ever taken. Lab exams are literally the vocabs from the lab reports so start early on creating flashcards for them. Wished the labs were worth a little more considering how much effort we put in it and wish there was some sort of extra credit too. If you need the A, dont BS this class. I was lucky enough to get an A

Professor Linder is an amazing biology professor, take him if you need to take human physiology! He is so funny and is understanding & really cares about his students. This is not an easy class but as long as you do the work you will be fine. He offers 3 extra credit assignments, each worth 10 points so in total you can get 30 extra points.

“I will take his class again. As I continued attending his lectures, he turned out to be a really cool teacher. He puts less pressure on us by using the Pearson app for all the homework and assignments, the lab was fun, and he helped us a lot to earn a passing grade.”

Amazing professor, although I got a low grade it was 100% on me I got lazy with homework and exams. He always replied fast to emails and offers extra credit after each lecture exam and they are also open note.

Was a great professor, very helpful and lenient, he explained everything very clearly, had lecture notes prepared for us, allowed them during lectures exams and allowed makeup work. He also told a couple jokes all in all a great professor to take.
