Amazing teacher. He is willing to explain anything until it is understood. His tests are tough and you will memorize a lot of material. I strongly recommend taking his class. There should be more teachers like Dr. Linton.

Excellent teacher. I learned a great deal in his class. He was very helpful. Test were very hard but he was overall fair on them. I recommend Dr. Linton as a teacher anyone.

he's a good teacher, but sometimes not too clear on what he wants you to know. he's very prepared and fun to listen to.

Physiology is a hard class in general because there is a lot of general information to learn in a short period of time. Dr. Linton is a great teacher though. And trust me, there is a lot less detail in his class than other BIOL 2320 prof. at the U. If you know EVERYTHING on his power point print-outs and you study every week, you'll do fine.

Great lectures. Willing to help. The class is tough by subject, so don't be misled by negative comments about his instruction. I consider myself very non-bias, and I think Dr. Linton is very fair and is a terrific instructor.

I thought Linton was a really good teacher, he keeps you involved and up to date with his quizes even though it sucks to have a quiz every week. I think he does a great a job teaching physiology.

Best teacher, what a cake walk, never had an easier class in my life

Pretty cool guy. If you hate flow charts, take another class. If you study consistently, then you should easily ace the tests. I crammed for a couple and still got an A. Knows the subject and is willing to answer any questions. The quizzes in every class are so easy they're laughable, so that's a plus.

His lectures are really interesting and he makes everything very clear. Studying for this class in a nightmare though, there's SO MUCH information that unless you study everyday there is just no way to stay on top of things. Linton makes it as easy as possible though and his tests are very straightforward.

His tests were extreamly difficult! He asks the hardest questions. You really have to memorize every little detail, because he'll ask questions on very minor things. This class was very difficult. You really wouldn't have a social life because all you could do is study for his class.

It was hard and challenging but not impossible. I took this class while wokring full-time and going to school with 17 credits. It is a lot of material but he is a fair teacher. He ended up curving some exams because the scores were so low. He is an awesome teacher and has great stories. If you have to take this class, He's the Best!

I am terrible at science, but this guy made it easy for me to learn physiology. If you study his power point print-offs, you WILL be fine! Dr. Linton has the gift of explaining the "hard stuff" in layman's terms so even the most science challenged person can relate/learn. Best class I have taken by far!!

Prof MATT is exceptional. This is one of the most knowlegable and entertaining teachers I've ever taken a class from. He is interesting and tough but fair. And he is way HOT. I love his legs. Too bad he's married...

Matt is awesome!! You arent going to find a teacher who can explain physiology better than him. One of the best professors at the U. Take his class you wont regret it.

His lecture book is required and he goes through each slide. He really is a good professor and he will try to answer every question possible. It is really cool when you answer a question and he can't answer it. His class is really hard though but it is worth it. Just study hard hard hard.

Great teacher and explains physiology in a way that anyone could understand. It's a hard class, but if you study you can get an 'A'. He allows students to submit regrades which was inefficient for me because when I did he accused me of cheating and adding more info to the test. All in all he is a good teacher, and presents the material well.

He was AWESOME!!!!!! I loved going to his class it was so fun and interesting. I learned so much. You really have to study for his tests but if you memorize the notes you will do fine. Awesome grading scale! I loved him

Linton is a great teacher. He made physiology really really easy. He is good at conceptualizing and drawing easy examples that make it easy for the students to understand physiological concepts. I would highly recommend taking physiology from him. I loved this class. PS I had Temme for general biology and I have to say, I prefer Linton's teaching s

Memorize his slides and you can ace the tests. Tests answers look for meticulous facts, no concepts or math. Ie: your test answers may be "correct" but if it is not the exact words from the slides, it will probably be marked wrong. (but you can argue points back because he allows regrades)

Best Biology professor at the U. very clear on what he will test you on. Class is tough, but he makes it interesting. He forces you not to get behind by doing weekly quizes, which was very helpful. I would definately take physiology from him over any other professor.

Great Teacher except if you inconvenience him and then he's inflexible and unprofessional. His exams are straightforward: if you memorize all the flow charts and diagrams on the slides you're golden. This class was more difficult than average because there is no curve but an A is definitely possible.

knows his stuff

His tests were so detailed it was ridiculous if you didn't have exactly what he wanted teh way he wanted it worded he would mark you wrong on any little thing and not be understanding of your regrades. I heard a kid calling him out on one of his tricky worded questions and he just dismissed it, no questions asked. Arrogant.

Best class! I loved everything Matt taught us about. He made class interesting by telling us stories and describing pathologies which helped you remember the system you were learning about. He cares about your overall understanding of physiology. The exams are hard, but he provides you with all the tools you need to succeed. I learned so much!

Loved the professor and the class-- That's all there is to say. Those who have anything rude to say about this professor are just bitter that they didn't put more time in to study. Do yourselves all a favor and enroll in this class! You will love it!

Excellent lecturer, makes just about everything easy to understand. Exams are difficult and require knowledge of every little detail

Great lecturer, clear, interesting, relevant, always happy to help and quick to respond to any/all questions. Teacher who actually wants to teach! Know every tiny detail for difficult essay tests and quizzes.

He's definitely one of the best professors I've ever had! I looked forward to class. He's engaging, loves questions, & he's helpful. & I like that he doesn't put up with whiny students. Study often & you'll do well.

He's a great professor. Yes his tests are difficult but if you memorize his slides you'll be fine. He also loves epinephrine.. just saying. Best teacher to take physiology from at the U. You cannot pass without his book. It is very useful since it is all the lecture slides.

Seriously, if you cannot get a good grade in this class, don't even think about getting into med school. Material is not hard at all. There are just a lot of them to learn and study for. Tests are straight out of the lectures and slides. Don't understand people who complain about this class.

He's a very interesting teacher and he keeps you interested during lecture. The tests are hard, but he's by far the best teacher I've had at the U so far. I highly recommend taking the class from him. If you know how to study well, then his tests are manageable.

Excellent. I spent a lot of time studying, but it wasn't unreasonable. Because I took his course, all my subsequent upper-division science classes have been cake. You will never find a better teacher.

Very interesting class, but you have to study your butt off and memorize everything to get a decent grade in the class. The only problem with the class is he has his TAs grade the exams. They know the material, but their grading style is not consistant.

He is an awesome teacher. I would highly recommend taking this class from him. It is the hardest class i have ever taken and i studied my butt off for it but i learned so much. plus he is interesting and lectures are fun to go to.

Matt is the best teacher I've had since I started college. He was very clear on the material and only required you to know what was on the slides (which is also in the lecture textbook he wrote). I recommend him to anyone who is interested in the subject and willing to work.

This class is super hard. It will take over your life especially if you do not study about an hour a day. His tests are very detail oriented, but I feel prepared to take on any science class now that I have taken his class. USE THE READINGS BOOK. It helps a ton.

He is a great lecturer- using examples from life and telling stories. If you want to get a good grade in his class you must study as much as he says. Don't expect to get an A from just going to lectures. Remember to read the syllabus because there are no surprises. If you have to turn in regrades, read the syllabus. I recommend this teacher!

Amazing teacher! He is really funny and makes his lectures interesting. Very hard though! You must be willing to put a lot of time and effort into this class if you want a good grade. Your hard work will pay off though. Amazing class and teacher!!

I am not a scientific thinker, but this class has been fascinating and fun. Matt's lectures are fun and easy to understand. He answers a lot of questions and is easy going. The tests can be hard if you don't study the material, but he doesn't require a text book or assign homework, so a little study isn't too demanding.

It was such a fun class and you learn so much! hes very clear on his knowledge & I'm obsessed with the teaching system he does. He offers podcasts (so u dont rly have to go to class, but u really should) & has printable power points so u dont have to worry about scribbling notes during class. Yes he seems arrogant but he has a funny side. TAKE IT!

Matt is a great professor. His lectures are extremely interesting and funny! He administers a quiz every class so be sure to show up for easy points! Quizzes cover the material learned in the past class. Exams in this class are straightforward and come from the lecture book. He provides podcasts and multiple practice exams so you CAN succeed!

Incredible physiology professor, his style of teaching is incredible IF you put in the time. I feel I truly know physiology after taking this course.

Matt is an awesome teacher, and he'll do anything he can to help you. You have to choose to use the resources available to you! I promise it makes a difference. He's available for questions, and chooses TA's that are very helpful also. It is one of those classes you have to dig in and work hard to understand the concepts, but it can be done!

He's got an engaging lecture style. He's very approachable for asking questions and was perfectly willing to admit when didn't know something though he was generally very knowledgeable. Take the practice tests and grade yourself harshly by the standards put forth there to do well on the real things.

Hands down the best professor I have ever had. He took a lot of complex material and simplified it in such a way that anyone can master it with some studying. Lectures were entertaining and interesting. I learned more applicable things from this class than any other I've ever taken. Highly recommend Linton.

I can easily tell you that I have never learned so much in my life this class is a must. One of the best teachers I have ever had

Very knowledgeable and loves the content. The class is difficult but there are very few classes that I've enjoyed more.

Matt is an amazing professor! His lectures were clear and interesting, while his stories were relevant and humorous. The class is difficult, but with a fair amount of work, an A can be achieved by anyone. My best advice is to go to class, listen, read the book, define vocab words and answer study questions, and listen to podcasts for clarification.

You need to follow Matt's tips and advice to do well in the class and more important to understand and acquire the knowledge for your life and future. Don't try to be the smart ass in the class trying to complicate things. You would have enough material to be busy. Don't use old manuals! ENJOY!!!!

Great class! Professor is very entertaining and did a great job teaching the material. He reminds me of Sheldon Cooper. There is a lot of material and it can feel overwhelming when studying for exams, but he is generous with the grading scale and the extra credit. Exams are not bad if you study well.

This was a very interesting class, the teacher made expectations clear from the beginning as well as how to do well in the class. Having quizzes along the way was helpful too so that preparing for exams was less overwhelming!

Matt is by far the best professor I've had at the U. The subject is so interesting and Matt really captures that. You'll be completely prepared for the tests, as long as you've put the time into it. Make sure you prepare for the quizzes. His podcasts saved me, I listened to them multiple times before tests.

This was an rigorous course, I passed only barely but only because of my own bad study skills, I did not keep up as well as I should have. This teacher is amazing. So much of the amazing. Give the man a raise. Give him a unicorn. I really loved this class and I learned a lot.

Matthew is a great teacher. Definitely go to class if you plan to understand the material. Try to get all the clicker questions right and he is very helpful and so are his TA's so don't hesitate to ask questions if you have any.

Matt is an amazing lecturer! His lectures are recorded which is really helpful. If you study the material it is very very possible to get an A, just don't SLACK! He offers 25 points of extra credit with class attendance which is nice and really helps you in the long run. There are clicker questions in class every other day. Great class.

Matt is great. One of the best at the U.

Great!

Study hard for the quizzes, and the tests won't be as daunting. I relied heavily on the book, mainly because of my gnat-like attention span. Any further explanation is available from Dr. Linton or a TA before or after class. If you put the effort in, you'll get the good grade.

Very personable, awesome professor. Way better than Anatomy with Mark. Keeps things interesting and very educational. You have to put in the work but he makes it as easy as he can. The only improvement I would suggest is have the Reading textbook more in depth and not as vague.

I loved this class! It was a lot of work, but it was worth it. The material is interesting and we covered a good amount of topics. I highly recommend going to class and listening to the recorded lectures as well as thoroughly understanding the slides. Matt is great too... A good teacher and interested in what he is teaching.

Matt is an excellent lecturer. He is highly articulate. This course is challenging but very interesting and you will learn a lot!

This was my favorite class so far that I have taken at the U. It's definitely challenging, but Matt is a great professor and will teach you everything you need to know to pass the class with an A. If you go to class everyday and you take time studying for the exams you will succeed. Definitely recommend this course and professor!

Recipe for success: Go to class every day; Prepare for quizzes; Study lecture slides carefully; Sit back with your wife, and enjoy Matt's unique style of teaching in his recorded lectures. Having taken over 200 cr hrs, I can say two things after having taken Matt's class last semester: 1. He is the best lecturer I have had 2. I felt transformed.

Linton is a great professor. Lectures and exam materials are pretty straightforward. Just spend enough time studying.

Matt has a unique lecture style and the course material could not be more interesting. This class is difficult and he expects a lot out of his students. That being said, this is by far the most rewarding class I have taken and the material is amazing. He requires you to think very critically about the material so it requires a lot of studying.

Matt is very knowledgeable and does really care about the success of his students. He provides all the resources that you could possibly need and it's your responsibility to put in the time and really understand the material rather than just memorizing it. Attend every lecture and study on daily basis and you will succeed in physiology.

Pretty much show up memorize and get an A. Must memorize a lot of material but tests are really just like his lecture notes. Cheap textbook.

Fantastic lecturer. Vague test questions and very difficult grading. His definitions are the hardest because he is looking for very specific answers. Even though your answers may include information that is accurate if its not one of the points he is looking for you get NO CREDIT.

You have to come to class to do the quizes but he records lectures wich is nice. Be prepared to study your head off though, The tests are very SPECIFIC. You can forget one word and be docked points. You learn a lot though and he gives intresting stories. you will be studying for 15hr a week if you want an A!! I didn't find the TA lectures helpful.

Matt is a great teacher. If you have never taken a college level science course before get ready to read. TONS of memorization and the tests are long and tedious. He makes the material extremely interesting though and this was my favorite class of my college career for sure.

Matt does his best to make the material entertaining and easy to understand. He does offer some extra credit through clicker quizzes throughout the semester, but it is not enough to save your grade. Exams are written to test your comprehension of the material. He posts recordings of his lectures online, and there are many opportunities for help.

Matt Linton is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is so fun and makes the class environment more entertaining. His teaching style is great and make the students to understand the material better. His exams are difficult. You need to understand the concept very well to be able to answer the exam questions he makes.

He is an interesting and funny lecturer and knows what he's talking about. He has his course down to a system so pay attention the first day to the syllabus details. Prepare for the daily quizzes. Don't let those slip you by because they add up-either for better or for worse! the course is memorization heavy, so that's REALLY not your thing, beware

I absolutely loved taking human physiology from Matt. He is interesting, knowledgeable, and straightforward. My advice: find a study buddy or study group. Use skype or google hangout to meet once a week and quiz each other on the covered material. If you have the covered material memorized weekly, you will do well.

I love Matt and his class. He is super helpful and so interesting. I loved this class and would definitely recommend it.

While Linton is one of the best lecturers at the U, he's also one of the most sly test question creators too. I've had him in multiple classes and in every single one I walked out at the end of the semester with information I knew I would (and most importantly, WANTED to) remember. I'm pretty sure he hates fat people though..

He is hilarious. Great analogies. Tests are hard so you need to know EVERYTHING. Quizzes add up, so do well on those. Study everyday (which prepares you for quizzes) and there is no need to do major cramming (and cramming will not work).

Matt was an excellent teacher. This was my favorite class i have ever taken in college. I thought just about everything he taught was fascinating so made it easy for me to study. You need to study to get a good grade but even if you dont study at all, you could still probably get out with a B- .

This class was the most difficult course I have ever taken. It was also the most rewarding. I definitely got my tuition's worth! Very impressive and inspiring.

This was my favorite class and professor here at the u. Dr. Linton knows his stuff really well. His class helped me to become a better student. His weekly quizzes encourage students to stay on top of the material and the extra help from office hours and discussions are excellent supplements to learning. Getting an A is very doable.

Getting an A is pretty straightforward, since you just have to do one thing: MEMORIZE! However, there's enough material to keep you busy, and memorizing stuff isn't my favorite thing to do, so I gave it a 3 in terms of easiness. It's a so-so class; I thought physiology would be more interesting until I took it.

Matt was enthusiastic about what he taught and he made sure to make it interesting and include stories to help us remember information. He has a great sense of humor with the course material and is very smart. He would remind us of all the opportunities we had to get help (from him or TAs) and he made himself very available for questions.

Matt does an excellent job at the lectures and clarity. However, he is a tough tester. If you skip class for what ever reason better be ready to make up the time, DONT FALL BEHIND. Pod casts lectures which is a big plus++. Made my life little easier having the resource. Good luck

This was by far my favorite class. Super fun lectures, well worth the time, and you need to go to pass. However, he records his lectures so you can miss a class here and there. Always available to help and the TA's are constantly doing review sessions. 4 tests total with quizzes in class. Pretty tough but grades reflect the amount of time studying.

Matt is one of the best professors I have ever had. His lectures are interesting and easy to get into and he always helps you with the material. He can be a little snobby to students but still more than willing to help you out if you ask! The class itself is very time intensive but interesting that you do not mind putting in the time.

This class was one of my favorite classes I've taken so far. It was super interesting and I was rather sad when the semester was over. Exams were tough but if you put in the time its not too hard to do well in the class. Coming to class is a must as he has in class quizzes and extra credit that can save your grade!

Excellent professor who does his best at making the lectures interesting. Matt adds personal stories to go along with the material as to help the students commit the material to memory. He gives quizzes every day of class. His exams are extremely difficult but not impossible. You'll need to be really to study a lot every day.

Matt is the best professor I've ever had! He is funny, engaging, energetic and most of all he's straightforward with his expectations. He records his lectures and it's really helpful to listen to them everyday before going to class (and taking the daily quiz). Tests are hard. Study everyday and DON'T FALL BEHIND. Great Class A+++

Great professor! All the information is clearly stated in lecture and the text book. Anything written in the text book or stated in class is fair game on the tests so be ready. The tests are tough but are very doable if you stay on top of the material. The tests aren't asking to regurgitate the info so you really have think through the problems.

Awesome professor!

Awesome class!!! By far my favorite class I have taken at the U. Matt gives you everything he wants you to know at the beginning of the semester. Make sure you know it! The lecture book is your friend, and LITERALLY memorize it! This was an extremely interesting class, but it is really hard! Expect to have some late nights in the library!

Matt is an amazing professor. I loved his class. His lectures are awesome but he covers a lot of material for the tests. There are quizzes every day of class which helps you stay on top of the material. Study old practice exams and his notes and you'll do great!

This class isn't easy and requires a lot of studying, but Matt's lectures are so good and he makes it easy to understand! I would definitely take more classes from him if they were available.

Matt is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He takes a complicated subject and attacks it with you like a friend in your corner. He doesn't do everything for you, there is work to be done, but he gives you all the tools you need to succeed.

This class is TOUGH!! Matt is an excellent professor and his lectures are excellent! There is a lot of content and he expects you to know it well so you really have to commit and study every day! However, Matt understands and there are a lot of resources if you need help. He has a ton of T.A.s and he posts all of his lectures online!

matt was my favorite professor in college yet. He is absolutely, hands down FANTASTIC. His lectures were interesting which made the two hour class fly by and it was also a super interesting topic. If you're ready to learn, study lots (3 hours after each lecture), and be serious about physiology, matts your dude. His class was awesome, sad its over

I truly felt like Mathew was on our side. He gave us many opportunities to understand the material; from recording his lectures, to giving us access to past exams, and TAdiscussion hours before class. I felt confident I had the resources in order to not only pass the class, but actually understand and do well in it.

Matt is clearly very enthusiastic about his course materials and wants his students to learn the material and pass the class. He's also pretty hilarious. Matt provides students with the resources needed to do well on the difficult exams provided students actually do their work. His class is very interesting and I learned a lot. STRONGLY recommend.

Great professor! He makes lectures entertaining and always willing to help.

Great professor. You have to learn a lot and internalize a lot of information in order to do well. But it's all incredibly relevant if you want to go into health professions. Matt is clear with his expectations, he tests on material that is available to you, and he gives great and entertaining lectures. It does take a lot of time though.

First i did not like him. He seemed too strict but once you understand his style of teaching it actually helps you !! His explanation is very clear ESL level students are also able to undetstand biology by him. He is now in Utah Asia Campus and I'm glad he was my biology professor. Excelcior!

I think this class was great, but when I thought much about my terrible skills in the test, I got something on my mind that could help me later. I hope professor releases the whole quiz including questions and answer on Canvas after taking the quiz in class, since it could help me to prepare for the test.

It was great to take biology class with Dr. Linton! He really tried to give good feedbacks to students and to let us understand the class materials.

His teaching was very clear and his class was very organized so I could learn a lot.

I loved him being here, though he and I both claimed that it would have been nice that if he didn't do the online lecture most of the semester which made me extra hard to work on my studies becuase I have never learned biology in my life. When he came back Korea, I eventually was able to figure my way out till the end of the semester.

good.

He is an attractive professor and person!! Even though I myself hate biology, I agree that this professor made it a lot better for me to study. If you concentrate on the lectures and review the class materials, you will get an A.

great guy. you can really tell he cares about his students, and wants them to do well. knows the material and teaches it well. very enthusiastic with his teaching; lots of energy put into it, and it's infectious. forgiving grader. made biology decently interesting. he's also pretty cute ;) overall, 8.510!

I took Matthew Linton's Bio 1030 class my second semester of my freshman year. He is such an amazing professor! His lectures always kept me entertained and he made the classroom a fun environment to be in. Attending class is definitely necessary for passing with a good grade.

Mr. Linton is a professor who knows his subject inside and out. He tries to make difficult topics easy for students to understand. Furthermore, Mr. Linton was almost always available after class for office hours. This class turned my high school biology grade of C- into an A in university.

I've had many biology and A&P teachers, most were good, but Linton was fantastic, I was disappointed to learn I'd taken all the classes from him I could. Every concept he makes easy to understand and he has a clear knowledge of. In my classes he made podcasts of his lectures and I listen to them for fun. Fantastic educator.

You will have a quiz everytime.

Professor Linton is always there to help you but you will need to go see him yourself. He gives amazing lectures and they are even funny so you're focused during the lectures. He's a pretty chill guy but if you don't like biology or five exams in one semester, it might not be your favorite class.

I like your class

He is generally a nice professor and is also a genuine person. But, students are highly recommended to study for the quiz.

The best class I have ever taken as a student here at the university was Professor Linton's Physiology class. I just wish he was still teaching here on main campus instead of the Korean campus. I was a Tutor for Physiology and will now be a TA for Physiology and I attribute all of my love for teaching the material due to taking his awesome class!

I took Matt's class back in my freshman year and loved it so much that I became a tutor for Physiology last spring and was a TA for Physiology this fall. He is till now my favorite professor that I have ever taken a class from!

I took Matt's condensed one month class and it ends this week. This class is really intense so be aware you will not have a life for 6 weeks, because you gotta study every day and weekend. Every monday there was a test and a quiz every day besides test days. Its a double class, theres extra credit too which is a bonus. Its great a great class.

This was a physiology retake for me, and he was so much more straightforward than my last professor. The textbook he wrote was endlessly helpful. His tests are tough but he's not out to trick you. His grading curve is generous. In short, I had to attend class and stay up on reading/reviewing, but I learned so much from his down-to-earth approach

Dr. Linton is by far my favorite professor that I have ever taken a class from. He is fantastic. This was a 6-week class. It was difficult & very high-volume. As long as you are committed, ready to work and spend a lot of time studying, you will do great. Matt's lectures are very interesting. He is enthusiastic and so funny. I highly recommend him.

Linton knows his stuff and is passionate about teaching physiology!
