Dr. Bolton seems to enjoy teaching; since I took an online class I never actually met him in person, but he put more effort into the class than any other online professor I've had.

I was very excited to come to class every day and learn something new. To be expected this class was not easy but it was fun. I enjoyed going to class for his lectures and it's important to take advantage talking to him after class and staying for tutorials.

Doctor Bolton not only taught A&P, but he also taught valuable life lessons and skills. I did not come out as the same person after taking his class. I feel like I have changed for the better, and I know so much now about anatomy, the way the body works and functions he is a great professor!

Dr. Bolton is an outstanding teacher! It's clear that he genuinely cares about his students and their well-being. He is generous with grading, but don't mistake that for an easy A. His course has been one of the most challenging I've ever taken, but it taught me a lot, and I now feel more prepared than ever to pursue my goals. Amazing teacher!!!

Professor Bolton was an amazing teacher and he was very focused to help anyone and everyone succeed. I would recommend to take his classes for anatomy and physiology. His lectures opened my eyes to a new outlook on how to learn about many things relating to the medical field.

Awesome professor! Great communication. He claims it is not necessary to purchase the book but I would since I found that most of my module exams had almost nothing to do on lectures and mostly on inf. from the book. The cheapest option is $10 a month. I see myself finishing off with a B-.

Dr. Bolton is a great professor. He teaches in a slightly different way, but it really helps. He explains concepts clearly, gives helpful examples, and always makes sure everyone is on the same page. He also gives us opportunities for extra credit, which really shows he wants his students to succeed.
