Ok lectures. A little redundant. Lecture is too laid back for the extremely hard exams. I did not like the lab teacher. Ana Marie not a good lecturer at all + she grades hard.

Great guy! Really knows his stuff. Give generous extra credit and curve the grade at the end too. Memorize the CD question because they end up on the test,

Taking this course in the summer requires a huge committment. It was 16 weeks of material crammed into 6 weeks. There were lots of memorization and exams. The exams are directly out of the lecture slides and study guide materials. They are straightforward questions to test if you did the work. He gave 60 ec points. You will lot appreciate hum. phys

There is no guarantee that the tests he makes up will even reflect any questions on the study guides practice questions and book practice questions. Be aware of this it seemed as if he was all over the place and the questions on the test are designed to confused you. Don't assume the tests are straightforward. Nice guy ,his class just sucked.

If you have no idea about the material, or have a little knowledge about this material, you WILL STRUGGLE. I looked at some of the other posts and they rate this class well and make it look as if its easy, NOT true! Massive work load. Tests are designed to confuse you and not straightforward. Love the subject material ,but not this class.

If you only have one class then you will write a great remark like I've been reading. LOL This class is VERY HARD and he's an OK instructor. I had to teach myself and a lot of on your own work. Tests are made to confuse you. I did very well, but not because of the instructor. Don't waste your time if you have more than two classes. I've had better.

Physiology in itself is a very difficult subject, but Professor Lindsay is by far the best person to take for this class. Go to lecture, focus on his slides, do the practice questions. I don't know what other students are complaining about; if you put in the time you'll get a good grade. He tells you exactly what to study for.

Nice guy, hard class, very mono-toned in lecture made me want to fall asleep. Test are hard, fill ins and short answers. You have to study hard, he does lots of power points and teach right off of them. Doesn't always test off of the study guide ask lots of confusing question. It was just really hard for me to stay interested sit up front.

At first, I thought going to lecture was extremely boring but it gets better as time goes by. I dont know what the other people are saying but he gives you a study guide where he TELLS YOU what is on the test. Keep up with the reading, go to class, you'll get an A easy! It's not a difficult class at all. You just have to TRY.

Tested mostly on the physio concepts from his PPT's. Gave study guides, hinting the important parts4the test(do them). Indicated what should be rd in the txtbk(not mandatory but recommended). The catch is do the study guides on time; thus, it's an easy grasp for an A. Fall behind&you lost your chance4the best grade. Overall, taught me how2study.

Very good professor. Excellent lecture, organized with good detailed lecture slides. Test are not easy but he prepares you well for them. You earn your grade. If you are looking for an easy A, I wouldn't take him. You learn a great deal in his class. People who complain about him are probably just looking for an easy A.

He is my favorite teacher! I've never met a professor like him. Yes the class is hard, yes you have to study your butt off, but his lecture and lab is very interesting and informative. He really loves teaching, not like other teachers that are jaded from teaching for so many years. Just awesome! I'll remember him for the rest of my life.

Great professor. Very laid back. Very helpful. He made the labwork so easy. Easy exam labs eventhough it is essay type but most likely the same q's from last year. Follow study guides and instructions and easy 'A' will come on your way....!!

Lindsay was an awesome prof. He has a cool sense of humor and he loves what he does. Those always make the best. I had no interest in the class but I'll likely remember him as I continue on.
