This was my second time taking A&P I at Odessa College. I am so thankful I was in his class. He genuinely wants every single student to succeed. Anytime I had a question he would respond in a timely manner. I would take A&P I with him again in a heart beat. To all future students, you are in amazing hands. Thank you Dr. Bolton.

While the content can be daunting, Dr. Boltons education and teaching style lays out the information in an easy to grasp manner. There is no reason anyone should get less than a B in the class let alone pass. Dr. Bolton is very fair with grading and often times sides with the student on the grade. He truly wants to see you succeed.

At the beginning it can be alot to take in but once you get a rhythm of things you should be able to stay on track. MR . Bolton is a great teacher and responds to Emails promptly.

I took his online course for BIOL2401 and while it is self paced, if you do not have a reading/studying schedule it will be a pain to catch up.

I took this BIOL2401 Online with Dr. Bolton. A&P was not an easy class but with Dr. Bolton it was Amazing because Dr. Bolton will provide you all you need to pass the class. As student that was to succeed all you need to do is read because A&P require reading. If you work hard and do you work on time, It is a straightforward class.

I was nervous to be going back to school after 17 years. I've never taken an online class before and was not sure about navigating the site, but Dr. Bolton instructions are very clear, and he definitely gives you the tools you need to succeed in this class, it's all a matter of how much effort you put in yourself.

This class is difficult. Dr. Bolton does however give you every single thing you need to pass the class. My first exam was brutal but once I had a feel for what I needed to do and set aside my time to really dive into studying I did much better. DONT SKIP OUT ON QUIZZES

Dr. Bolton is one of the many best teachers I've had here at OC. Everything is clear and laid out for you despite the new and confusing blackboard system.

Dr. Bolton I actually have had the pleasure of hearing speak even before attending his class. He is an extraordinary individual and is extremely helpful to his students in this class. He believes in you and wants you to succeed.

Dr. Bolton was by far one of the best professors I've had during my college journey. He makes learning so much easier. I would suggest A&P students that struggle with their class to take his course. His teaching is different and so much more understanding.

Dr. Bolton is a very responsive and attentive professor. Im very happy I decided to take A&P with him. He made it a good summer 2!

He was great even though it was a summer class. He answered my emails rather quickly which helped a lot. Overall, it was good experience within the short time.

In the beginning of the five week course Dr. Bolton gave us a clear schedule which in my opinion was helpful and helped me stay on top of the many assignments. A little heads up for anyone going to take this course is that you have to make sure to study and do the quizzes. That's the only way you'll do good when it comes to taking the Exams.

This class is of course on line so attendance is defiantly up to you! But he does not make any assignment due except for test.

This was a very helpful and easy-going class. I loved this class more than the in-person A&P that I originally took with a different teacher. I was able to learn more and not be so stressed all the time. This class gave me an opportunity to do my normal daily things instead of being piled with schoolwork.

I haven't been in school in over 10 years ,so I was pretty nervous starting this class. Mr.Bolton made everything so easy and fun to understand!

From day 1 I knew I was going to enjoy his class. He offered more than 1 form of communication such as email, twitter, facebook which I thought was neat. His class was organized & a part that I favored the most was his practice quizzes. If given the opportunity to take his class, take advantage of all the resources given as they all come in handy!
