Biology is a difficult subject, but Dr Lindeman takes the time to thoroughly teach the material. He wants you to learn and pass just as much as you do. I really enjoyed having him as hes an all around nice guy.

Peter. Really got to thank the guy. With all the tears and late nights studying to no avail, I learned something. Throwing tantrums is an acceptable way to solve your problems. This class was one giant tantrum. I literally rolled across the finish line with bloodshot eyes. It's okay though. Peter is RUFF but you learn tons. It'll cost your soul tho

He can be tough but if you're present and participate you'll be good. I had him got Ecology and Environmental Bio. Ecology had a lot of Excel labs which were a pain and frustrating until you had your eureka moment. Environmental Biology was actually one of my favorite biology classes. So much is participation and friendly debating with classmates.

really hard time in this class. Nie guy but you have to remember everything and the littlest details. Very very hard to remember everything because there's so much information in one lecture. Someone needs to tell him what he expects us to remember is unrealistic. He was a nice teacher though and I liked him as a person.

Comment:

This class was bar-none the hardest i've taken in my 9 semesters. He is a very dry lecturer and he makes you memorize the slightest details over a VERY broad spectrum of material. He emailed class grades: 3-A's 6-C's 4-D's and 3-F's and 4-WD. If you can, just don't take him, if you have to... expect lots of uncomfortable jokes and a bad grade.

Comment:

Imagine Hank Hill lecturing about turtles, pausing every so often to tell a really dry joke. That, for the most part, has been my experience with Dr. Lindeman. He expects his students to know every detail from lecture and lab. Expect many, many corrections on your reports, quizzes, exams, etc. I've learned a lot, but at the price of my self-esteem.

Worst professor I have had. His tests take 4 1/2 hours. I find biology very easy if you have not decided to major in it. An introductory class should be a lot easier than what he is making it. Lab notebooks do not help your grade.

YOU WILL FAIL. The class average for a set of lab notebooks was 26/40 Do not waste your time taking this class. At all. Biology is a breeze and his test questions are beyond unclear.

Horrible professor I absolutely hated him. I get good grades and I studied everyday for 2 weeks prior to tests and still failed. His tests are impossible to pass and his "field trips" are honestly ridiculous.

The worst class ever. we all worked very hard studding for his exam that are very hard and the questions in the test were difficult to understand. Most of the student fail his exams and did the home work which were a lot of work was what it helps me to keep a D. I read, study for the test, do the homework and do not miss not a class. dont take him

Dr. Lindeman is a nice guy, but the class is extremely difficult. You have three tests with a TON of notes (sore hand by the end of every class) that you basically have to memorize in order to even get a C on his exams.

Do not take this class if you do not need to! He does not help you at all and his test are impossible! He talks to you like everyone is a biology major, and expects you to know everything!

Comment:

Ecology. He is a very intelligent man. Even though half of his lecture goes over your head & is so boring, the tests are pretty fair if you study. My biggest gripe: the course load is crazy. You will have so much work to do every week. If you don't, then you're missing something. Sometimes expects too much of you & acts as if it's your only class.

Difficult class, but he grades fairly. Very quirky sense of humor. If you are not willing to read, study, and work you will not do well. He is picky about writing, BUT constructive criticism and editing notes are great for improving your skills. His exams are intense, long, and require a lot of detail. Overall a really fun class :)

I took this class because it sounded interesting. He is hard to understand and BORING. 99% of the class are power point lectures with the lights off. I had to consciously try to stay awake. Test questions were written as if he wanted everyone to fail. DO NOT TAKE HIM HE SHOULD NOT BE A TEACHER

I normally don't rate professors but I feel he really is getting bad reviews. It's a college class and a college class environment and people feel just because he has fun in class that his test are going to be easy. He tells you what you need to do and I still watched 95% of the class fail out of laziness. So just try and you'll be fine.

Supposed to be in "introductory" course for students not majoring in Bio, lectures are incomprehensible, tests are brutally difficult, and he glosses over things and teaches very broadly, and then the tests are extremely specific, as if they are written for Bio majors. And all he talks about are turtles.

Dr. Lindeman's class is fair and requires hard work. Only take this COLLEGE class if you are a real student. More professors need to actually test to see if you understand the material. His tests can take up to 4.5 hours. It is not for the faint of heart, but he will expose you to current science & research articles, and his own personal experience
