Guy was pretty cool. Made lectures not so boring. Very helpful by giving extra credit opportunities and offering extra help for whatever reason. Cheesy jokes, but at least he is trying to make it interesting. I recommend him to anyone taking biology 131
he is the best awesome very helpful, tries his utmost for u to get it, he makes the class interesting and does his utmost. i recommend him totally i am taking him right now for spring semester and it is a breeze awesomeeeeee
Really nice teacher. I am taking him for the spring semester. Its a lot of material to remember but he does a great job at teaching it. I am just not getting it. Too much information for me. Just read the book before class. Ask question's if you dont understand, he likes that. He also gives a lot of extra credit make sure you do it all.Great Teache
this guy is a great prof. he's really easy and he gives a lot of extra credit!! you feel like ur in high school all over again from how he allows the students to comprehend everything so well. He sub'd at DHS too so he's very cool. highlyy recommend him!
very cool teacher. Very helpful took him for spring and passed. He is so very helpful makes you understand, makes it easy when it gets difficult. His class is soo much fun. You have to take his class its an easy A. TAKE HIM HE IS EASY, HE IS COOL, HE MAKES YOU UNDERSTAND BIOLOGY AND YOU ARE GUARANTEED A PASSING A. WOW WOW WOO.
Mr.C!!! Hes excellent. All you have to do is put effort in the class and you will do great. Most of the questions on the quizes are on the exams. He gives alot of extra credit.. he just expects you to do the work and study. He is very nice, clear, and understanding. He tells you what you need to know. I highly recommend him!
Mr. Corbitt was a wonderful teacher. He is very helpful and easy to understand. YOU HAVE TO PUT IN THE EFFORT TO PASS THIS CLASS. If you pay attention and ask questions, you will have no trouble doing so. I highly recommend Mr. C! I wish he was teaching other subjects other than just BIO 131. I enjoyed this class!!!
Decent teacher BUT moody. One minute he could be happy teaching the class, the next he was snappy and mad! Taught the labs VERY well and offered some hints on the tests!! As long as you show up and do your work you should get a easy A.
I never liked biology but he made it so interesting that I was looking forward to his class. Highly recommended
By far one of the best teachers I've had at HFCC. He goes above and beyond. He fully prepares you for tests and quizzes so if you do bad (no excuse)he offers extra credit. Also gives out fill in the blank powerpoints (genius) so you can acually pay attention and not be writing all hour. Why cant all teachers do this? I highly recommended.
Excellent prof, really knows his Bio. There were very many immature students in my class which tried to make his job difficult, that's why he had mood swings. Any other prof would would have went insane. If you do not miss class and pay attention I don't see how you can't get a A. Thank You Mr. Corbitt!
A lot of people are saying that he is an easy teacher, however, I beg to differ! He gives out fill in the blank power point packets. This can be difficult because all you're doing is filling in and not really paying attention. You have to really study so that you do well on his tests. They are not easy. He's a a teacher though. He knows his stuff.
Great Teacher!!! I would rate him one of the best I've had at Henry Ford. He's loves teaching and knows alot about the subject he is teaching. First teacher Ive had who REALLY understands what its like to work full time and try to get an education! Once again WONDERFUL TEACHER!!!
He is a wonderful professor if you dont do the work and are not doing well do not blame the teacher he knows the materials explains crytal clear and extreamly helpful i wish all teachers went out of their way as he does. Great Job Corbitt
Professor Corbitt made class enjoyable, if you are interested in the subject at study. Mainly self study- but his lectures lead right along with the book making it easier to comprehend after class. Envious of his knowledge and skill of teaching BIO. Great teacher and semester.
I don't prefer science classes but he makes it easy and you actually understand. He know what he is talking about. The labs are easy and lab exams. Study! His test are a little more difficult but if you study its not bad at all. I got a A. I would take him if he taught other classes as well.
At first he seemed cocky and rude but after a few classes I grew to like him. He is very easy. I had him for lab and he was sure to go over how to do everything and gave us extra credit. He left in the middle of the semester,I would still recommend taking him. He appreciates the well behaved students. He doesnt put up with bs from other students.
He was an amazing Professor! I only had him for lab and he ended up leaving in the middle of the semester; nonetheless I really enjoyed the labs and he was always helpful. Be respectful and he'll respect you. He doesn't put up with annoying students who try to talk over him. Overall great Professor! He is good looking too if I may add. :)
I loved Mr. Corbitt's class. I got a C because I missed a few classes and that was entirely my fault. He really knows his stuff but if your're lazy I wouldn't recommend this class. He will go off if you're rude or interrupt his class with your phone but overall I loved the class. I would take him again but study harder next time.
Good teacher, makes things that are normally super confusing easy to understand. Likes to make jokes, which makes the class fun.But during the test I felt like i was in high school cause he had two types of tests, so we wouldnt cheat.
Good teacher, makes things that are normally super confusing easy to understand. Likes to make jokes, which makes the class fun.Hates to have the lab and the lecture test on the same day so never does it. He makes your life easy, take him!
He is very interested in what he teaches, makes it very easy and is an overall very good teacher. He is loud and he repeats the important things a lot.
Fantastic class, excellent professor, highly recommended. He is easy, funny, has a great personality. He will give you study guide for the test and quizzes, alots of extra credits opportunities. Study hard, guarantee you won't fail his class. Good Luck!!!!
I took his class in the summer, and let me tell you hes wonderful! Gives you so many chances to receive a good grade. Drops your lowest quiz and test! He has a great personality and hes funny, Lovee him!
Very helpful teacher. You do not use the book in class but he gets test and quiz answers from the book. Make sure you read the chapters!! Very nice teacher. He knows what he's talking about. He is also very funny. He likes to tell a lot of jokes. Very easy class. I recommend him!! He drops one quiz and one test. He gives you extra credit on quizzes
Best teacher at HFCC. Drops a quiz and a test, and puts some extra credit on them. Very funny and makes the class fun. I wish I could take him for all my science classes!
Mr. Corbbitt is by far the most extraordinary person i have ever met.Not only does Mr. Corbitt engrave ideas into your mind but his analogies are out of this world! he has somthing to go w/ e.thing. Again by far the most amazing persn. teacher, and jokester. Corbitt will not only help you pass his class, but help you pass in the future. TAKE HIM!
Easy A, listen to his lecture and u'll get an A. Helpful and so friendly. Teach the matter clear with a nice repetition and enthusiasm. LOTS OF EXAMPLES and EXPERIENCE. He is a treasure. Thanks Mr. Corbitt
I never thought I'd pass Biology with an A, but I did thanks to Corbitt! He gives tons of extra credit, drops an exam and a quiz, and makes lectures and lab FUN! I'm so glad I took this class because I'll never forget the material thanks to his amazing analogies! Take him!
I took this class as a 17 year old high school student.. during the short summer semester, and I earned an A in the class. If I was able to do it, anyone can. He is very helpful and caring and will do his best to help you pass. If you're gonna take BIO-131, definitely TAKE IT WITH HIM!!!!
A teacher true to the spirit of the profession.
I hate biology, but Corbitt broke it down very well. Its an easy class, I passed with a C but could have easily gotten an A if I would have tried. All I cared about was getting the credit! Take him if you need bio 131!!
Great Professor! Easy A, cool guy, would recommend him to anyone.
Teach the matter clear with a nice repetition and enthusiasm. LOTS OF EXAMPLES and EXPERIENCE. He is a treasure.
He is good teacher with teaching and Lab. i wish if he teach neither bio section i will take it with him. all of you take with him.
Matthew J. Corbittis good teacher with teaching and Lab. i wish if he teach neither bio section i will take it with him. all of you take with him.
Mr Matthew Corbitt is good teacher and his lecture and lab will understand.
Mr.Corbitt is an awesome teacher. His lectures are well put together, he gives you the options to print out slides on Moodle and give you multiple study guides to help you for his exams and quizzes. For labs make sure you listen to all directions and do the lab work, if you do those you will do just fine in their. Good Luck!Thanks again Mr. Corbitt

Mr. Corbitt is an awesome teacher. His lectures and labs are well put together, he gives good materials for class and lab, also gives you multiple study guides to help.
Loved this class. He makes things extremely interesting with his own take on a lot of subjects. Not very demanding at all, just do what he asks & NO SLEEPING OR TEXTING. All his tests are off of the slides he posts online, never opened the book. Very clear what he wants, you'll be successful. He has been my favorite teacher of all time. Take him!!
Best teacher at HFCC
Mr. Corbitt is an amazing professor. Took his BIO131 class over the Spring '14 semester - even with the course being accelerated he made the material very easy to understand and retain! Hardly used the text book, all materials needed on moodlerooms. NO CELL PHONES! Goes above & beyond for his students - highly suggest taking his class for BIO131
Great teacher! Sometimes his tests included some odd questions. I suggest writing down the power points in your notes instead of just filling in the blanks. Helps a lot more! Pay attention and take good notes and you're guaranteed an A.
Great prof! A little disillusioned at the science dept as a whole Have an amazing prof like Corbitt to then get get the run of the mill cookie cutter dry unmotivated "teachers" Wait,they are motivated by the the 6 figure income. Then the dept head who is more interested in hiring people with Dr. in their name than seeing if they can actually teach
Honestly the best teacher I have ever had! You wont regret taking his class promise!
He is a very nice teacher, very helpful, and very clear lectures. Do not think twice and take him.
He's a good teach because he is easy AND helpful. You'll actually learn and remember things from his class, plus he's very linient with grading! His labs were too easy! Attendance isn't totally mandatory, but go to class and you'll end up with an A!
Really cares about students and really loves the subject! Had him for lab and he taught more than my lecture teacher did. As long as you do the labs and look over the write ups, you'll do good on quizzes. He usually told what was on them to us the day before. Wish I had him for lecture too!
AWESOME professor! great at explaining and keeps you interested.
Great professor! Makes biology interesting, is very down to earth and funny! Received a "C" in his class without putting much effort into it, so I know with some effort into it you can easily get an A.
He was the best teacher out of any teacher I have had yet, he actually cares about students and takes his time to work with the students. He makes you work hard for your grade but is reasonable. Had the biggest heart and wants to see the students achieve. Wish he taught more classes at occ.
Corbitt is a great professor. He is highly qualified and really knows his stuff. He also gives great real life examples to help you understand the content you are studying. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing to take this course.
The most understanding and down to earth professor I've ever met. Wish I could take him for a higher Bio class. Such an amazing genuine man. Taught me so much
The best teacher I ever had . Mr. Corrbit is amazing teacher. gives a lot of credits . his lab tests are easy. he wants every one to pass.
Best professor ever!
AMAZING... Loved this class.. A down to earth and very understanding man
Mr. Corbitt was a great professor! His class is easy if you listen, take notes, study and do the work- easy A! Very inspirational and laid back. :) Remember, plants don't need us, we need them! :P
Possibly the best professor I've ever had. He makes it so obvious that he wants everyone to do well, and is extremely down to Earth and likeable. His lectures make sense and he rewords everything to make it extremely clear and easy to remember. His labs are super easy and he's incredibly helpful. Book is somewhat used, helps to read up a bit!!
Corbitt was by far the best professor I had in all my time at HFC. He's so helpful and really wants you to learn, he also gives really good memory gems for people who forget easily. I would retake his class anyday!
By the far the best teacher in hfcc. Time flies by in his lab. His lectures are not boring and he's so cool and funny, gonna miss his class, i loved it. I would take that class again!
Corbitt has been the best professor I have ever taken. BEST AT HFC! his classes are easy and funny. Make sure you take him for lab and lecture. Lectures are a bit heavy but labs are fun. Attendance is taken and he does give a lot of extra credit. VERY EASY CLASS. Homework is on those online things (which i hate and never did). hopefully i pass! lol
okay i never write on this thing, but man does this proff deserve a comment. I have never remembered so much information taking a science class before, let alone actually enjoyed remembering it. He is so understanding and every single stuent in our class respected him! corbitt is the MAN.
GREATEST proff ever!! Makes learning BIO so easy. He has a mnemonic technique of teaching which makes his lectures super fun and inspiring. Never missed a lecture (which is odd for me). This proff deserves an award for keeping my short attention span in check with his unique way of teaching lol. GO CORBITT!
I had to retake BIO131 because my past professor was really tough and it was very hard for me to learn what I needed to. I retook this class with Corbitt and actually learned alot! He is one of the best teachers I have EVER HAD!!!! I definitely recommend this teacher for anyone to take. If you see his name pop up on webadvisor, TAKE HIM!! :D
the best teacher ever! his jokes are so lame but he laughs about them himself. you will be okay if you take notes, he will eventually warm up to class and will give extra credit. you will leave his class wishing he teach something else other than bio131.
Easy A. This semester hasn't been over yet but he is truly a down to earth type of person who wants you to succeed. His stories are very inspirational and truly does help out the future nurses! You will not regret taking him.
THE greatest teacher ive ever had in college and will ever have in college. simply go to class, respect the man, laugh at his jokes (his hillarious), put in work in class, and if youd like put in work at home as well maybe 30min a day reviewing, and u shall recieve an A+ nothing short of that. no need to read anything else besides this.
He's the BEST TEACHER EVER! He's so down to earth, it's unreal! He honestly cares about his students and wants us to pass. He also has an amazing why of teaching. I LOVE biology because of him. He makes learning fun and interesting. You won't regret choosing Mr. Corbitt!!!!
Best Goddamn BIO professor or professor in general. He is so down to earth, a great guy, and cares so much about his students, like so much! He makes the class so interesting and makes the student even more interested in the subject even if you hate it! His lectures are amazing, very respectful and understanding. Take him what are you doing this!!!
Literally the best teacher Ive ever had, my experience going into college couldnt have started any better, such a great person that cares and is very relatable. Very lenient and easy to understand, hell help you whenever possible. GREATEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!!
Im currently taking this class right now and he is hands down one of the best teachers. Hes so passionate about his teaching and he has AMAZING teaching techniques. He breaks down everything that youre confused about. Hes hilarious and so sweet. Hes also very understanding. The best teacher Ive ever had honestly! I wish he taught 233 & 234!
TAKE THIS CLASS. YOULL THANK ME LATER
Best professor ever. I would take the class again.
I can't tell how much I love him! He is the best bio professor ever. If you have the chance to take his class, don't even think about it and just register. Don't buy lecture's book just buy the code and lab manual. Many opportunities for extra credits. For tests, you just need to study for PowerPoint, notes, and his review. Study and receive an+A
3 Words, BEST PROFESSOR EVER
He is the best bio professor ever. Take him I promise you won't regret. He's very clear and fair.
Guys like him are rare very good heart his jokes are hilarious sometimes. Just study and do your online homework and youll get an A he has an amazing heart take him very rare to meet people like him!
If u wanna take bio but u have doubts of it being hard... nahh fam. Corbitt is straight forward & gives u the main points u need to know instead of memorizing the whole notes. He also gives u extra credit & honestly that helps u ALOT! Hes easy yall!! Take him!!
Best teacher Ive ever had he makes the subject so easy but you must study but he really makes stuff so easy for you study and get an easy A
Just take him fam, Just do it. Straight up the man.
I had him my first semester of college and he was helpful with the transition and in the class! Honestly he has been the best professor I have ever had! Highly recommend him!
Great guy loves his students you must study and be ready to memorize he tries his best to help his students but he may be boring at times but his reviews are great
The best teacher Ive ever had in my whole life including elementary middle school and high school not only such a great teacher also a great human being I love this guy so much I wish so bad he was teaching Higher bio classes
Amazing teacher and everyone should get to know him. :)
