I had to thank Dr. Bolton after the class. His lectures were fun and interactive. He also understands that we are not only students but that we also have other responsibilities.
Dr Bolton, thank you for all you help you have done for me, it shows you actually care for us as individuals and not just trying to get a check, ha ha ha but again thanx for everything
he is a pretty cool online professor and I've had plenty of them.
He understands the class is tough & he is there for his students 110%! Couldn't have asked for a better professor for my first year of A&P1!
Dr Bolton is very intelligent, yet very down to earth. Just like any class what you put into the class is what you get, however Dr Bolton is willing to help you as long as you help yourself. I definitely would have taken him for A&P II if he taught it.
Dr. Bolton is an amazing professor. I would recommend him to anyone. His lectures are fun and to the point. He loves to give out extra credit. He is also a very understanding teacher. He loves student involvement. You get the grade you put in. Work hard and show him you are working hard.. you will pass this class.
Professor Bolton is an amazing professor! He is very down to earth, nice and thoughtful. If there is something you don't understand he helps give you clarity. His lectures are very to the point and his exams are based on what you talk about in class. If you give your all and he sees that he will definitely help you achieve the grade you want!
thank you for everything from the bottom of my heart. You have made this class very enjoyable and I can honestly say that you are an inspiration to me to get what I need to get done! Thank much sir!
Dr. Bolton is the best A&P professor I have ever had.
He is an amazing professor. He touched and changed my life. He really does care about his students.
Best A&P teacher I've had. I took this course online but the times I have been to his office for help, I felt he really was there for me as a student. I really recommend him to somebody that needs a class that he teaches!
Took online and expected it to be difficult but it was made easy with plenty of chaper quizzes to prepare for chapter exams.
He is super awesome in a respectful and professional way. His encouraging words has build up my confidence I cannot express how much he calmed my nerves
Dr. Bolton is truly the most caring professor I have ever taken a class with. I can't imagine what I may have been like to have an in-person course with him. He is super understanding and cares so much about how you do in A&P. He's constantly reachable and just a great professor all together. Take a class with him. You won't regret it!
I loved taking this class! A&p isn't the easiest cours but dr. B def cares how his students are doing inside & outside of the class! He's super funny and interesting. You will need to read a lot but he Gives a lot of opportunitys to ensure you do well in the class! Take him for sure !
I had a lot of instructors but Dr. Bolton by far is the best. I could only imagine how awesome it is to be in a actual classroom with him! I really enjoyed interacting with him because of his motivation and positivity. I'm grateful for his compassion and understanding. I just can't say enough about him and I'd like to meet him in person one day
Professor Bolton is the most amazing instructor at Odessa, I will miss his class next semester.
He is a great professor, he was always offering help to us if we were struggling and he was sure to have a response for any question I had to ask. His grading policies are on point, I remember turning in an assignment at 1 in the morning and he graded it right then and there and even returned a comment in my direction. Dr. Bolton for president!
I looked to see where Dr. Bolton was and found him here at Odessa College. T took him for Biology at another school. He is definitely missed and was really were an inspiration to me.
Great professor very helpful! The work is tough but if you keep up with the due dates you will be fine. Any question I had he got back to me right away and was always trying to help me succeed.
I fear I will not find a professor as helpful and inspiring as Dr. Bolton in my upcoming college years. One can only hope. His lectures were extremely well planned, helpful, and will leave you wanting to learn more. His door was always open and he was more than willing to take time out of his day to help in any way he could.
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. All e-mails were answered promptly. The only issue I had was misunderstanding what the lab exam was supposed to be, but that was on my part.
I have taken a few on-line classes and have struggled to stay interested or to keep up. Dr. Bolton delivers a realistic goal to be attained in the allotted time frame. His availability allows for trouble shooting issues that may arise. His clear and concise instructions minimize misuse of time. The assigned materials are challenging and essential.
I am really glad that I have him as my professor. He is one of a kind---a very caring person.
Dr JB has been one of the best professors I have had. His class is tough but his teaching technique makes the course less intimidating. He's like a walking book and always avaliable to answer questions.
Dr. Bolton is a very awesome professor, as well as a human being. He teaches what you need to know for the test and as in life as well. it's harder to catch up than to keep up in his class. he needs to teach AP2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This class is very interesting, Dr. Bolton is great at teaching the material and keeps it fun. I am always looking forward to going to class.
Everything about this professor is amazing and outstanding even though the course is really tough he will try his best to help you understand and pass this course.
Professor Bolton is an excellent instructor who cares about his students. He has compassion for his students and passion for his work. He is funny, charismatic, and very dedicated to the course and how he teaches. Although the material is overwhelming at times, he stops what he is doing just to encourage and help fellow students.
Dr. Bolton, truly cares not only about the material but the students. What you put into the class you get out! He is one of the best professor I have had.
Awesome Professor. Relates to students not only on an A&P level but teaches us about life as well. Shows that he wants all of his students to do well and succeed.
wonderful teacher and person. Honestly taking this class made me really think about my goals and my perception on my existence. He didn't just teach A&P, he taught us life too. Wish he could teach A&P 2.
Allied health students, don't fret. This refresher course is easily navigable with Dr. Bolton. I took this course in 8 weeks. The work is steady, but it's nothing that can't be done.
Overall , great professor! Really motivates you to work hard and pass by his office to figure out what's going on and why you're having trouble. He is the type of professor that if you need help he is willing to give help and is very understandable. I can't say I had any issues with him!
I absolutely loved taking this class, he made the lectures fun and interesting. He teaches you how the material relates to life which can be quite knowledgeable. You leave each class feeling like a brainiac bragging about the facts you know. If you want to pass his class its do-a-ble, he offers TONNNNSS of chances to gain extra credit!
Loved this class! I felt very comfortable and at ease being in Dr. Bolton's class. He makes every class enjoyable and goes over topics quite frequently. He gives MANY chances for extra credit which comes in handy. Best Professor I've had yet!!
Dr. Bolton is an amazing professor who has motivated me and encouraged me to pursue my dreams of being a nurse. I can not express how much he means to me. He was in the news twice for his accomplishments but he is down-to-earth and took time to write me a recommendation although I know he was extremely busy. God bless Dr. Bolton!!!
I recommend anyone get a chance to take this or any other course taught by Dr. Bolton. The material is tough but Dr. Bolton gives the student all the tools to succeed. I wish I could have him for all my classes. Dr. Bolton is one of the best instructors. He is just a great person and I enjoyed taking his class.
I absolutely love and appreciate his enthusiasm for teaching and this class. I've already taken AP1 and AP2, and passed both, but let me tell you! My professors had absolutely NO love for the sciences. Pretty disheartening. Dr. Bolton has proven that the love is not gone!
Dr. Bolton is really one of a kind. He cares about his student, and his sense of knowledge and attitude towards the sciences is remarkable. He really is the best professor I've ever had. Lots of homework and quizzes, but definitely worth the time because they are grade boosters. I adore him, I wish I could bring him with me to every class.
I have a special place in my heart for Dr. Bolton. He believed in me and is awesome!
Absolutely love this guy and his teaching methods!
Dr. Bolton is an exceptional professor. He's really good about communicating with you and giving you extra time on assignments if needed. He's an all around good person
Dr. Bolton helped me throughout the class! I really enjoyed myself! I look forward to enrolling in another class taught by him in the future! God Bless!
Dr. Bolton is by far the BEST instructor I have had. He is very intelligent and cares about his students. He makes an effort to connect with each of us on a personal level. He has made our lectures and the learning experience enjoyable. I don't think I have ever learned so much from one person- honest!
AMAZING
Dr. Bolton is a fantastic professor. He gives you the tools you need to succeed. I had such a positive experience with his class and I am genuinely walking away with an abundance of knowledge. Well worth the price of admission.
He is awesome. He is always ready to help students. He care about you and always want you to do good in class.
Dr. Bolton is the best !! I feel very privileged to have been able to learn from someone as intelligent and good hearted as him/
Although I have him through an online course, he still makes an impact to "be there" when you have questions or concerns.
At first I was not interested in this course. I thought it would be a waste of time. But I am glad I took it as I have learned so much and will have a better life for me and my son.
Absolutely love this professor. I highly recommend taking his courses whenever possible. I wish every professor would follow his lead.
Very helpful, excellent response time and explains in detail.
Dr. Bolton is an awesome Instructor, he would explain A&P in detail, I am a math person and Science is not my forte but thanks to him I was able to gain some knowledge. I looked forward to going to his class everyday because he would make the class very interesting and the class had great discussions. I can truly say that I learned something.
Dr Bolton is such a great teacher and worked with me
He is an amazing professor. He gives examples you can relate to help understand he allows you to come to his office if your having a hard time understanding something. Always gives opportunities for extra credit and never makes you feel dumb. If he taught anatomy and physiology 2 I would take him in a heart beat one of the best teachers I have had.
Really a great professor, very understanding that life happens and sometimes you need a little extra help. There is a lot of studying and reading but really he is probably the only person I'd like to take A&P with as a course.
Dr. Bolton is an amazing professor. He is very outgoing and very helpful. He also has a great sense of humor, really made the class enjoyable.
I would recommend Dr. Bolton, to anyone going into AP1. He is By far the BEST Biology Instructor I have EVER had. I am an older student and am starting over so this is challenging but he knows how to make it fun, and help you understand the material. You retain it a lot better. He is an awesome person in general. Good Luck, Future Scholors.........
I would recommend Dr. Bolton, to anyone going into AP1. He is By far the BEST Biology Instructor I have EVER had. He is fair but you must put in effort. Good Luck, Future Scholors.........
Dr,. Bolton is awesome. He will do a lot for you to help you succeed.
I learned a lot in your class and I really enjoyed it. I APPRECAITE YOU
Dr. Bolton has truly been the best and most understanding professor that I have had in my journey through college. I really appreciate him and am very thankful for the confidence he had in me. I was honored to have him as a professor.
I took this Nutrition class and I loved it! I learned so much and it was a much needed refresher!
He was a very great Professor. Pretty much like all other classes you do your work you pass.
I loved his Final Exam! You needed to know the information but the questions were presented in a fun way. I know he really does care.
It was so refreshing to take this online course with Dr. Bolton. He was very responsive to emails, graded in a timely manner, and was incredibly positive about this subject. I would absolutely recommend this class to others!
I have had Dr. Bolton for both anatomy and physiology and science of nutrition. He made each class a wonderful experience and I left each feeling that I truly understood each subject. He's a great teacher who will help you learn the material but don't expect to skip your readings. Both lecture and material from the book are/will be testable.
Dr. Bolton is a great teacher! If you don't get him for Anatomy and Physiology 1, you are making a big mistake!
Best instructor ever!
Dr. Bolton is an amazing professor , one he is funny, this comedy relief helps with all the stress you have. Two he is really good at giving you extra credit even though we don't deserve it, he still gives it to us on the most important test and for that i thank him. Reason three is that he understands how to get that info into your mind.
Very fun class to attend
Great class. Great professor. Fairly simple if you put in the work. Dr Bolton is very fair, and has a great sense of humor.
Good professor. Course can be intense for the first couple of weeks but gets better later on.
Awesome teacher and someone who cares for his students to great. Learned alott during this class.
Really enjoyed the class and learned a lot from Mr. Bolton. For anyone needing to take AP1 I strongly recommend him, he makes it fun and as easy as possible for the students!
Dr. Bolton was one of the best instructors that I have had at OC thus far.
Great professor! Worked hard to teach information and works with each individual to assure your passing of the class. Also kept lectures interesting with jokes and relatable stories. Just remember, participation is key!
This was a great course and it is my fault that I fell behind. He did his best to for us to get high grades.
One of the most caring Professors at OC, will do the absolute most to ensure that you have the best grade possible. All he ask is for respect and participation.
Dr. Bolton is the change we need in the educational system. And world. He actually cares for his students and their future!
Dr. Bolton is an amazing professor. If you plan on taking A&P I highly suggest him. Taking classes online is always iffy on whether you will have a good professor or not, but he has made it a great experience this semester. Dr. Bolton answers all questions in a good amount of time and really is there to help you succeed!
Overall great professor! It's a fast paced class therefore you must keep up so you don't fall behind. Enjoyed Class!
Great professor! I took this as an 8-week class so it was very, very fast paced and a ton of information to learn fast. A+P is an intense class no matter where you take it/ who you have. But Dr. Bolton has been a great professor
I have taken an 8-week Human AP class with Dr. Bolton. Even thought it's an online class, it's very fast paced and he prepared lectures and PowerPoints to guide and help students to achieve a better grade.
Dr. Bolton has been a life saver for me. I appreciate him going above and beyond to help me take that next step into becoming a pharmacist. Thank you!
Great professor and keeps you in check when you fall behind and reminds you.
I have really enjoyed learning from Dr. Bolton. His syllabus was clearly laid out and he made all efforts to make doing well possible. He was easy to reach via email and quick to give encouragement and ways to get thing done, even when falling behind schedule.
One of the best teachers i have had in a while. He is really caring and make sure you go and visit him if your upset about a test grade!!!!
This had to be the most enjoyable class I have attended so far.
The over all class has been great, but he makes you work for it! I don't have anything negative to say about this course or the professor. I give Dr. Bolton a 10/10!!!
Failed me on an assignment because I disagreed on creationism, guy is full of himself
Dr. Bolton made one of the courses everyone feared into a great and educational experience. He took the material we needed to learn and did not make us sit and listen but he engaged with us which helped a lot. He is a revered professor and nationally known.
I hadn't been in college in over 13 years and Dr. Bolton's class taught me to study again. He is VERY responsive to his students and truly wants you to succeed. The class isn't easy, but he is there for you every step of the way. I highly recommend him!
Dr. Bolton is all around GREAT! He is a caring man that wants to help you learn and shows you how to love A & P. Going into this subject I was very scared and now I am very sad that it is all coming to an end finishing this last week. Dr. Bolton gives you the proper lectures and requirements to study and ACE a test or quiz.
He's really inspiring to pass and to really give it 110 percent.
Dr. Bolton is very professional if you email him he will get back to you as fast as possible. He allows you to do tasks for extra points on tests.
Very great of a professor. Love the way he teaches and the passion that he has for teaching the scholars. Would recommend him to anyone who wants to take AMP1
The professor is awesome and simply want to see his scholars succeed. He explains every chapter carefully so that we can fulfill the whole concept.
Very interesting to listen too and is so funny
Great profesor, Im just not that well of a test taker.
I have enjoyed taking this class online. It has really taught me to become more self driven with my studies. Dr. Bolton is very good about calming nervous students down.
Dr. Bolton is a great teacher. He is very helpful. He wants you to succeed as much as you want to. I always recommend him to others. He is great!
Ive enjoyed taking Dr. Boltons class! Hes an awesome professor who wants you to succeed. Hes very understanding and also offers extra credit. I highly recommend him to others an A&P professor.
Professor Bolton is amazing he gives you the knowledge that you will need to be successful in his class.
He is awesome, someone that truly wants to see you succeed
I was very lucky to have an amazing professor in my freshman year in college. He set a high standard for professors. Yes, Professor Bolton's class was difficult, but he never once thought about us failing even when we did. His lessons were not only over anatomy and physiology, but also life. Professor Bolton made my first a&p class one to remember.
Dr. Bolton is a very understanding professor and is one that cares about his students future.
Dr. Bolton was always available when needed and always encouraged his students to do their best in each exam and never give up.
He was a great professor
great teacher helps you in all you need.
For my first experience ever in college I feel like he got me prepared for what I have ahead of me within the next years! Funny teacher but tough!
Awesome Teacher
great teacher
Makes learning the material easy, and very understanding
favorite professor out of 15 different college courses taken, easy to relate with and extremely supporting in and out of the class
I loved taking Bolton, he is such a caring and effective professor. He is one of the best professors Ive taken and he gives extra credit
Professor Bolton is an amazing teacher. He teaches in a way where I understand the subject and I also don't feel rushed while learning. I definitely recommend him as a teacher for everyone and I would definitely take this class again with him as a professor.
I loved the way he did his lectures, and im pretty sure everybody else appreciated them. What I enjoyed most about your class was the fun facts about your body he would give to the class. I never lost interest in his class and in fact, it made me want to go class which has never happened before. With that being said, he is amazing!
Dr. Bolton is the best professor I've ever had. He is very knowledgeable and he teaches with so much passion. I honestly learned so much from him. Most importantly he cares for his students and gives feedback. I just wished he taught AP2.
Needed BIOL2404 for a Pre Requisite for Paramedic class. Needless to say, I was stressed out and nervous. Dr. Bolton's class was structured very well. I highly recommend!
Dr. Bolton is fair and thats all you can ask for these days!
The lecture videos help so much during this course. Stay positive is the only way to get an A!
If this class is important to you then its important to him.
Dr. Bolton is the best professor :) He is truly a gem. He made a hard course easy to understand and be able to do well. I wish he would teach every single science course. He is the Best. And a wonderful teacher.
Dr. Bolton is a fantastic professor. His course is structured for you to understand everything easily - IF YOU STUDY. If you don't study, you will not do well. He's in my top 3 instructors of all time.
I took Genetics and A&PI with Dr. Bolton. I really enjoyed both of these classes. I would highly suggest either of these courses to anyone. I felt comfortable coming to him with any questions that I may have had. He is the best!
Dr. Bolton invests in his students and stays involved with his students ; thanks for genuinely caring about your students' success. I truly enjoyed your class and thank you for assisting me on this journey . Stay blessed always , truly enjoyed this course.
I absolutely adore Dr. Bolton!! He is by far the best professor Ive ever had. Super professional, positive, motivating, and kind. You can definitely tell he loves what he does. Very refreshing to see. His lectures helped me understand the material better. If you need to take A&P1 take it with him, you will not be disappointed!
Dr. Bolton was by far the best teacher I have ever had! He really wanted his students to succeed and honestly, I believe he knew which ones really worked hard for it. He was very supportive and I would definitely take his class again. I also liked how he made the quizzes easy to take by breaking them up into portions. Thank you, Dr. Bolton!
I studied about as hard as I could and this class was definitely a challenge while trying to do everyday life. But Dr. Bolton made an intense course a great course. He is very helpful and the information I got was good for the course and for life.
Dr. Bolton is relatable and accessible. Very prompt answering emails and understanding of personal issues should they arise. The online class was slightly disorganized at the start, but things evened out quickly. Clear expectations. Cares deeply about student outcomes and wants everyone to succeed.
If you give this class your honest work and you show your determination, there is no way to fail this course. The first time I took this class I received a C+ bc this course is no joke! But Dr. Bolton is very relatable and he is able to really give an entire picture of the lesson and not just expect you to understand with few details. Hes great!
Hes great!!!
This class was my first in room class as a college student and Dr. Bolton made it comfortable and fun. The best part you dont just learn about science you learn about life! Thanks Dr. Bolton for all that you do!
AP1 isn't the easiest class but Dr. Bolton made the class easier to understand. His lectures are detailed and clear. He is really a good teacher that will provide help in any way he can. Overall loved taking the course with him as my professor.
Fair grader, responds very quickly to questions in email I would take him again and recommend to anyone.
Dr. Bolton is very invested in the success of not only his students education, but their personal lives as well. He has gone out of his way to make sure we had the resources to do well in his class, while also managing to make the class enjoyable. I am so grateful I decided to take his class this wintermester.
I was not looking forward to taking a Biology course but after the 1st week I could sense Dr. Bolton really cared about the students in our class. Dr Bolton has a unique way to keep you as a student motivated and that motivation keeps you pushing yourself to do more.
Professor Bolton's classes are the type you want to sign up for over and over again. He is giving and he actually cares that all of his students pass. I didn't know what to expect from this class other than I knew it would be hard to shuffle everything I have going on in life. Professor Bolton isn't just a great teacher, he is a great mentor.
Dr. Bolton does expect you to give your 100% in his class. I have trouble taking exams especially in a fast paced midwinter semester but Dr. Bolton gives you plenty of opportunities to do every assignment with some bonuses to help get you a grade you can hopefully be proud of.
Great professor, he communicates effectively and in a timely manner and really wants to see his students succeed!
Some of the material that was tested on was difficult to find in the lectures and power points, I wish he would have emphasized a bit more on some topics before the exams because there were a couple questions I felt I was going in completely blind on.
Hes very good at what he does. He expects you to work for it so you can succeed. He truly cares about the students success and is always there to answer questions and push you through it.
Professor Bolton makes it to where you can pass the class. You have to put in the work but if you put in the work and earn your grade you will pass! He is very encouraging and is clear and concise in his lectures!! He dumbs it dow in the beginning so that you can grasp the concept in the big picture and then adds in the terminology for learning!
Professor Bolton is great at what he does. I feel like he was very helpful in this course. He is very responsive with his emails and answers your questions right away. Like any other course, if you dont put in the work theres no way to pass. However, he provided so many helpful tools that help you understand class content.
10/10 for me. So caring, and respected. Gives extra credit opportunities, and the information you study for tests is actually on the tests. Kind man, and wants all his students to succeed. Grades fast & answers his emails quickly. Best Professor I have ever had. He gave us extra credit for doing a kind deed, like helping an elderly cross the street
He is a great man with a heart of gold ..,very nice and awesome
Dr. Bolton is an excellent professor! One things for sure, is that he LOVES what he does and that makes a huge difference for the student. This class is not easy, but I know and understand more than I did prior to taking this class.
Dr. Bolton is a wonderful professor. He makes this class more enjoyable to learn and gives extra credits. Taking an online science class is not a simple thing compared to face-to-face, and I must say that you have to still put in the work to be able to understand this class. I am very pleased to have taken this class with Dr. Bolton.
Professor Bolton states that he will provide the resources to success if you put forth the effort. I can say that he truly stands by this after taking this course.
This was my first online class ever and I have to admit I was beyond scared to take this couse because Anatomy and Physiology in general is a difficult couse. Dr. Bolton is by far one of the most understanding and caring professors I have ever had. Although, you have to stay on top of your work and make sure you study.
Professor Bolton has always made the effort to keep the class fair and always makes communication key 1. I don't think I would have been able to pass this class if I were in another professors class.
Out of all the professors I have had so far Dr. Bolton is by far my favorite. He truly cares about the success of each student and does his best to encourage you and provides you with the learning material you need to pass his class. He not only teaches Bio but also gives info you can apply in your day to day life. Highly recommend this professor.
Dr. Bolton is hands down my favorite professor. He wants his students to succeed, so as long you are willing to put in effort, you will do well in his class. It is obvious that he cares about his students and loves what he does. He is kind and understanding also! What more could you ask for in a professor?
Amazing professor! Dr. Bolton gives out life example to understand the material. I am truly blessed to have had him as my professor.
Great Professor, would definitely enjoy having him again.
Dr. Bolton is a great teacher and makes his class enjoyable while still learning things. I would definitely recommend taking his course!
One of my favorite teachers so far. Very helpful and direct. I would love to have him for A&P 2
Dr. Bolton really cares about students success. He gave us many opportunities to succeed in class. I had never taken his lecture classes till now and would highly recommend.
An amazing professor, made everything super clear and always matched the students pace. Always knew how to enlighten the class with his cheesy jokes . if I could, I'd retake the course in a heartbeat. Thank you Dr. Bolton for being an awesome professor!
Hello Ive taken other Biology Instructors and Dr. Bolton is the only one that made this class material clear and achievable. If I didnt do better is because I didnt have more time to study. When he says if you provide me the Determination to succeed , Ill provide you the resources , he is being very sincere.
Great overall teacher. Hes actually cares about his students and if you study and put in the effort you can pass the class pretty easily. He kinda sucks at emailing you back but will more than likely email the whole class when theres confusion. Great teacher
Mr Bolton has been helpful and even in answering the email on time, i can for sure recommend him to other students.
Dr. Bolton is a great teacher. His Anatomy and Physiology class is hard yet simple if you pay attention and put in the work. Dr. Bolton was always accessible when I had questions about the course and responded promptly. I met Dr. Bolton outside of the online class and he's a great guy. If you stay on top of your quizes you'll do great!
He makes class really fun and enjoyable so students want to go to class. The way he teaches makes it easy to understand the material.
Dr. Bolton was by far one of my favorite professors I've had so far! He was very kind and helped me whenever I had questions or needed help. He genuinely cares about his students success. I definitely learned a lot by taking this class and would highly recommend him to anyone needing to take this course.
great!! enjoyed it !
Makes his expectation clear. Straight to the point. Does not try to confuse students Reasonable work load. Responds with reasonable amount of time via email.
I took this class during a Maymester, so it was very fast paced, but Dr. Bolton was very encouraging in making sure we stayed focused and on task. He ensured we had every tool, and then some, in order to be successful. Dr. Bolton has been one of my favorite professors from any school thus far!
great course.
Dr. Bolton is an amazing teacher he gives you feedback and lets you know you got this! I enjoy being his class even if it was for a month thank you for being a good professor! -Melody
Mr. Bolton isn't only trying to teach you a subject but also how to communicate professionally and demands effort.
Mr. Bolton is by far the best instructor Ive had thus far. He is 100% understands and so long as you give him 100% he does the same
Great class to take 10/10 recommend
professor bolton is genuinely one of the most caring professors ive been around! he provides TONS of resources to ensure youre learning to your top potential. i recommend him to anyone and will continue to recommend. this class was very short because of the summer schedule and i was still able to excel thanks to him!
Professor Bolton is an awesome professor! He is very helpful, and a fast communicator. He teaches the material very well and is very resourceful. One of the best professors!
First of all, if you're coming from another college, make sure you take the time to read the syllabus thoroughly and print it out! Dr. JBolton made this class seem so easy to me. If you're having any troubles with Respondus as many times as I did, he was quick to respond! Even on the holiday! These are the kinds of professors we need! Super nice!
Dr. Bolton is very encouraging and makes sure we stayed focused and on task. He is very helpful, caring and by far my favorite professor thus far. I would definitely recommend his class to anyone needing it.
Great professor would have him again
Had a 5 week course with him and emailed probably a million times and he always responded within a day. Was unsure how I would do in class but his lectures and powerpoints really helped. Highly recommend this professor if you are needing to take a&p!

Mr. Bolton was very helpful during the whole class. His positivity shined through.
I took Anatomy & Physiology 1 for summer 2. It's intense with all the aspects we have to learn so it's best to be engage throughout the course. He answered fast from email and grades fast as well. For the notes it was on power point and was in depth. The quizzes help with the test!

Mr. Bolton THE BEST. Easily accessible out of class. Always set us up for success! You can genuinely tell he cares his students do not fail. The best attitude and the best professor. 10/10 would take him again and again and again!!
Dr. Bolton gives you a lot of independence on when you want to finish the class. i think I finish it 4-5 weeks. I like it this way because most professor literally have fridays and sundays deadlines and I work both days 16-hour shifts. I learned a lot from the class though because it is interactive. I wish this class was pre reqs for A&P ll.
He is great at explaining, he also makes his class very interesting and I was able to learn a lot from his class.
Dr. Bolton not only taught us A&P, he taught us about life.
Dr. Bolton is amazing i would like for him to be my teacher through out my whole college days. and not only does he teach A&P he also teaches us about life.
I think that the way that he teaches we can learn more things and leaned more of life.
Dr. Bolton is the smartest and kindest man I've ever known in my entire life. He is an engaging professor and always puts his students first. I am thankful to have him as my professor.
Dr. Bolton has been nothing but kind and supportive. I am so grateful to have learnt from him this semester. I look forward to attending more classes with Dr. Bolton in the coming future!
Dr. Bolton is DEFINITELY one of the easiest professors ever. He gives lots of extra credit opportunities, which sounds great and all, but makes most students slack off on actually learning. I do love his teaching style and he's very easy to get a hold of through email. But honestly, his courses are NOT challenging (hint for all you nerds, like me).
Dr. Bolton will work with you, he requires and rewards the effort you put into his classes.
Was worried about taking an A&P minimester, however he provides a lot of supplemental information to help you succeed. 100% recommend taking him if you can!
Dr. Bolton by far has been a very inspirational instructor. He makes sure to push us to succeed. Therefore he provides us with the resources to make sure we pass his course and well educated. This was great especially for a Mid-Winter course. RECOMMEND for anybody to take any course with him.
Prof. Bolton is a very good teacher he makes jokes Between class lectures,which is what I like about Professor Bolton,not only he cares as a teacher but Also as an outside of class human, meaning that you can talk to him about anything.The way he teachers the lectures are very self explanatory,he does not tend to teach confusingly.Great Teacher!
This was my first time taking A&P1 and I really enjoyed the class. I really learned a lot and I hope to get the same professor if I don't pass my first round.
dr. bolton was an amazing teacher i learned so much in such a little amount of time. he took pride in teaching his students his lectures and knowing his students and how he can help. i would recommend him to other needing to take his class! you will truly enjoy it!
Dr.Bolton wants you to succeed. It is a harder class but the help is there if you need it.
Professor James Bolton is awesome is very caring He shows leadership and he cares about each and everyone of his students he is just awesome thank you professor Bolton for being awesome. Thank you Michelle Warren mw216769
Dr. Bolton was a great professor as he was very understanding as well as organized with assignments. I highly recommend this professor as he was great with responding to any email questions and sent many reminders for any upcoming exams and assignment due dates. One of the most caring professors I have had.
The quizzes are key! Participate. He truly cares about the students success, class time is educational & is put in a way you can understand. He tells you his expectations from the start. His lectures are life lessons & class time is often a back and forth discussion between him and the students. I wish he taught A&PII. I love his teaching style.
Wonderful
Dr. Bolton is one of the best professors I have had. His class is not easy but if you do the reading and make sure that you understand the quizzes you take you should pass his class with flying colors. 10/10 recommend taking his class.
Dr. Bolton was probably the best professor I've had. Not only did we learn Anatomy and Physiology in his class, but he also taught us a lot about life. His classes are easy as long as you keep up with the work. Dr. Bolton wants his students to succeed so don't be afraid to ask questions!

He explains things with great detail where I can understand .Also explains with real life moments that way I can get a better idea .Responds quickly to any problems I may encounter yet .I think his teaching techniques are great and understandable would definently take this class again
Professor Bolton encouraged each of his students to participate even if you didn't know the answer he would break it down for all of us. Dr. Bolton's lecture where a positive experience you were excited to learn every time you went to class. Like Professor Bolton says we learn about life too!
I took A&P 1 online with Dr. Bolton and I have a few things for students. Dr. Bolton is someone who is clear on his syllabus, so make sure to read and print it out. He will give you everything you need like a detailed schedule so all you have to do is plan accordingly and watch for those dates. Dr. Bolton is also very understanding of mistakes.
Dr. Bolton is amazing! I retook A&P because I didn't get the grade I wanted and was a little nervous but Dr. Bolton made the nerves go away from the first day of class. He's a great teacher, A&P is still hard and it's a lot but he makes it not horrible.
I enjoyed taking the class. I originally took the class in 2007, and needed to refresh myself because it has been so long. A&P does require you to study in order to effectively learn. If you do the work, you will be satisfied with the outcome of this class. Dr. Bolton is a great professor and I highly recommend him as a professor!
A&P I was not a easy class but Dr. Bolton made it as easiest as possible, he offered help in anyway he could and answered any questions or confusion I had. He not only taught A&P but he also gave us life skills, knowledge and advice he was caring and wanted to see each of is succeed. Truly a great professor and his class is passable.
Dr. Bolton is an incredible professor who wants you to succeed in his class. In class you learn about anatomy and about life. I genuinely really liked going to Dr. Boltons lectures. His lectures are fun, interesting, at times funny and also wise. I would 100% recommend Dr. Bolton to anyone who might want to take A&P1.
Dr Bolton taught very well!
Dr. Bolton was an amazing professor who not only taught about anatomy and physiology but also about life outside of school. He made sure students were able to understand the content and was always looking for different ways to help students succeed.
Dr. Bolton was great at teaching because he made sure that students were able to understand the material by asking questions in lectures. He never put individual students on the spot when asking questions, but rather had the entire class help in answering any of the questions. Dr. Bolton is a great professor!
Dr.Bolton is an amazing professor who rewards effort and makes anatomy physiology easy to learn.
Dr. Bolton made sure that everyone learned the materials, we also learned about life in his class. He uses stories for us to fully grasp the concepts and have everyone participate in class to be able to learn and get involved. Overall, he is an amazing professor and if others plan to take A&P 1 with Dr. Bolton, they won't be disappointed!
Dr. Bolton has been one of my favorite college professors. During lectures, he uses real-life examples to help you get a better idea of the lesson. Not only did I learn anatomy and physiology, but I was motivated to become something better and not give up so easily. It is refreshing to come across a professor that understands sometimes life happens
He wants you to succeed! Do the homework! which consists of studying & reviewing on your own time. Do the extra credit on a timely manner. Show up! Dont procrastinate. Excellent instructor, he knows his stuff.
Dr. James Bolton is by far the best professor that I have ever had. He truly wants his students to succeed. I can actually say that I have learned so much in class.

Professor Bolton is a great professor who has made a difficult course easy to understand. He is so good with lecturing that I always look forward to attending his class. His cheerful countenance uplifted my spirit as well. Before enrolling for the course, I was afraid of its difficulty, but now I have become proficient in it, all thanks to him.
Professor Bolton is fantastic - his lectures are crystal clear and he genuinely wants students to succeed. I found the class challenging but manageable, and resources like the free textbook and unstuckstudy AI were super helpful for study prep.
Professor Bolton made a difficult class easy to understand. He is very explanative with every chapter, had only module exam at the end of each module besides quizzes. As long as you put in effort in his class, theres reason you would fail, he also gives alot of extra credit. I would reccommend taking his class if you get the chance to.
This course was amazing I would say my best class I have taken at Odessa College. Mr. Bolton made the course as easy as he could he is very good at explaining the lecture. I would most definitely take his course again very caring to his students.
He really does see the best in everyone and want everyone to succeed.
he is a great professor and i would definitely take his class again, he explains the material with great examples and somewhat connects the slides into real life examples in order to allow us to have a higher level of understanding, also some times whenever everything is complete we get to leave somewhat earlier.
Very great professor helps you really understand what your learning about and not only that he teaches you about life as well.
I salute Dr. Bolton for being an amazing professor. He helps us to get a good grades in a honest way. I enjoyed and loved being in his class. He delivers his lectures in a concise and engaging manner. He encouraged us to do good in class and also in life.

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 a great professor! He is extremely compassionate and cares about every one of his students. He provides everyone with the knowledge necessary to succeed inside and outside class. I always looked forward to attending his class. I recommend anyone who has the chance to take his class.
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.

Not only that but he wants nothing but success for you, although the class may seem difficult he's always willing to help you out in any way he can! You just have to be willing to as well.
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.
