A "college" level professor. If you need your hand held, don't bother. You must earn your grade in his class. The entire course is outlined on the 1st day - all you have to do is listen. Just show up, pay attention, do the work (yes, DO the work) and look alive. You'll learn more from him than anyone else, guaranteed, and it will pay off.

He is clear and his sense of humor makes the lectures interesting, he gives you outlines (that the tests COME FROM) and curves the heck out of tests. Show up, pay attention, take notes (and study them) and you'll get an A!

Dr. Muth is an expert on his topic. His tests are very hard, but all of the answers are in his handouts, all you need do is study. If you are the type to wait until two days before the test to study, you will fail. Study as you receive the material, and you will get an A. He coaxes you to answer your own questions often, but proves you knew it.

He is not really helpful. I can say that he is a very intellegent person and he knows his stuff. But the problem is that he's always rushing on everything, even though the time is long. I would really not recommend this instructor to anyone unless you like tough instructor. He is always making his material hard to understand. All I can say terrible

He is a very good professor, my favorite so far. He may be a bit intimidating but dont let him fool you. He has a good sense of humor and I def recommend him. He is tuff but any A&P course, if you want to learn the information well, will be hard.

He is a great teacher if you are willing to commit to the class. Attendance is a must. He is not an easy A, but as long as you apply yourself and put in a lot of effort you should do fine.

Demanding class. A ton of material is covered. You have to study to do well in this class. He does provide you with notes, but you must take the time to learn them. If you are willing to work then it will be no problem.

A little dry, but he knows his stuff. Attend class, pay attention and do assignments. He only gives two tests-midterm and final, so don't wait till the last minute to study. Use online tools, esp. chapter quizzes, as he will often give these as graded assignments. You also get extra credit for giving blood.

This class was very informative. I took his online course over summer, 8 weeks. I recommend taking it over spring/fall because the work load is a lot if taking it online. (not sure about on campus) Midterm, Final, 12 chapter quizzes, two 1-paged papers a week, lots of discussion board! Easy class if you can get it all done!

I didn't buy the text book and have made 100 on 2 tests and 93 on the third. His tests are hard but he curves them SO much! I think this guy is super funny and cool. His class isn't that bad, just do the practice tests online and read through your notes and you'll make an A with the curve.

He really knows his stuff. This class is really difficult and he doesn't make it any easier. He has very generous curves but you really have to study and know the chapters from front to back. I wouldn't recommend this Prof unless this is the only class you're taking.

He has a PHD and has no patience whatsoever he rushes everything!! His clases are based on powerpoints and a clicker,his notes make no sense in regards to his 100 multiple question tests. He skipped lab practi****a couple of times.I had to withdraw by the deadline it was clearly a cut throat class i would not recommend him!!!

This class was extremely difficult. I was stressed out over this class. The notes aren't helpful, the practicums were difficult, and attendance was mandatory. We started with about 20 ppl and ended up w/maybe 10-12 ppl at the end of this semester. He is a nice guy but pls DO NOT take this class if you care about your GPA.

I actually made a 77 on a test and he curved it to 100. I study a lot on my own and usually have an outline before going into class, which is sort of what he expects - that's why he goes so fast. I'm taking him for two more classes.

what to remember about this guy - he has been a REAL doctor in high stress hospital settings. Yes, he is intense and intimidating. Hes an ok teacher, but not easy to talk to/ask questions to. Remember, do the online quizzes!! I have an A right now, but theres still a month of class left. Test 3 was the hardest.

I took him for bio 1 last fall and i wish he was available for bio 2! Class was short, about an hour of lecture one day and less than hour of lab the other day. Not much work outside of class and he adds about 20 points to every test! So that 60 becomes a mid B! Pretty easy really and was fairly interesting

The only two tests we had were a midterm and final, I got B and a high C on both before a curve (otherwise they became A's). No true way to prepare them. It is a really good class though and he REALLY knows his stuff. Oh, and to study for the tests dont bother with his notes, read the book. Hes tough but fair.

Am disappointed that hes not teaching in fall.Pros-EC for donating blood,online quizes prepare you for exams,you get to drop 1 exam,project at the end of the semester is easy(dont be intimidated by it),weekly quizes come AFTER the powerpoint,labs r not graded(no partners).Cons-if you cant donate blood you dont get EC, clickers are 40$.

PLEASE do not take him if you actually want to learn Biology. He literally rushed through everything and made changes to things without notifying students. He was absolutely the worst teacher I have had in all my semesters going here. Tests were 100 questions long and some of them we NEVER went over in class. Horrible teacher and horrible class.

Rushed through the powerpoints, half the test material(100 questions w/20 point curve)we never reviewed, and incredibly hard to approach. Never really understood what was going on half the time, and couldn't ask because all you'll get is a snide remark and told to ask a classmate. Definitely wouldn't recommend.

I do not recommend Professor Muth! The class consists of 4 hourly exams, labs every other day, a extremely hard lab practicum, and extremely hard final. I got good grades on all hourlys and the lab practicum. I spent hours studying for this class and came out with a C. Muth is mean and very hard to talk to, he is not approachable. don't take him!

He gives you everything that you need to pass the class and gives plenty of time to do assignments, but if you don't understand, you're strewed. He's hard to approach if you want to ask questions, and then belittles you. He does a new chapter a day and exams after every 4 chapters. If you have good study habits then his class is for you.

Was nervous going into his class after reading his reviews. His class wasn't so difficult. 1 reading assignment and ch. quiz each week, 2 tests (midterm & final), 2 dietary analysis, & daily in class PP quizzes. I paid attention & got a B. Couldve had an A, long story. Basically if u cant donate blood, ur SOL on EC.

I had Dr Muth for A&P 1 and he was just awesome, the course is hard in itself, a lot of material to learn, but really if you just do all your assignments online and try to do your best on the tests, you will be fine, taking him again for A&P2 :)

Dr. Muth is the type of professor that pushes you to use that brain in your head. Started with about 30 students and ended with 14. This is a hit or miss kind of course; you either want it or you don't. If you need someone to coddle you don't take this course. This guy gives you everything you need to achieve success on your own. Great professor.

I can't say Professor Muth has the best social skills. Talking with him is usually awkward. But he is a very smart guy and certainly knows his stuff. Very into research and nutrition. Very helpful once you get past the awkwardness. I liked him, he has a dry sense of humor. Just keep up with assignments.

WORST learning experience at FSCJ. He is a very smart person, but a HORRIBLE professor. Lectures are based on old powerpoints and are rushed, exams often include material not covered in class, there is no leniency regarding assignments, use of remote technology affected my grade negatively because of HIS ERROR and was still punished.

I took him for a&p and he was not very helpful. He is hard to talk to, goes too fast through the lecture, and the 2 practicums were timed and very long. Unless you plan to study at least 3 hours a day for him, don't take this course. He talks on a level too high to understand.

There are no exceptions for technology glitches. He'll tell you it's out of his control & you get a 0. He was never there during his office hours and whenever I did go to see him he was always annoyed and gave very sarcastic answers. Make sure you do the extra credit and have the right clicker for his class!

Hybrid. Easy but if you miss class, you get a zero for the quiz (taken via clicker) for that day. Overall straight forward class. be responsible for your own actions and keep on top of your weekly quizzes & article summaries. 2 dietary analysis worth 25 pts each & midterm & final. donate blood for 10 pts ec

Great professor. A&P1. Will take him again. You can get a good grade, but expect to spend a lot of time studying. Do all homework, use his notes, read the textbook, and go to class. 2 practicums-100 questions(really study. Know how to spell every bone, muscle, cell type, function...everything). Mid-term and final exam (hard). I learnt a lot!!

Highly suggest not taking his class. He is a disrespectful professor. His test are hard only cause he doesn't go over things that well in his class room. Beware you have to buy a $52 dollar response clicker that you use maybe four times. You will better off with another professor.
