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.

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

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.

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!

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!

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'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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
