Comment:

Great professor. He really knows his stuff and definitely makes students work hard to ear their grades. A lot of people complained about that. You're in college you need to be challenged. If you're looking for your grade to just be handed to you don't take it. In Lindemann's class you actually have to learn. Imagine that.

Comment:

Lindemann's class is extremely difficult. I would not recommend him unless you can devote all of your time to this class. The quizzes are all fill in the blank with no word bank. There is a quiz every third class and they are extremely difficult to pass. I am a pretty good student and I have really struggled in his class.

Lindemann is a great teacher. Those who take the time will learn a lot. Class is Mandatory (Not by Lindemann- but for success), and yes he is Monotone, but anyone who appreciates learning will enjoy this class! Lindemann has left me inspired and opened my eyes to how the body works!

Comment:

Really smart guy who knows what hes talking about...But extremely monotone so sit in the front, write down every single word during lecture, and memorize for the quizzes if you want to do well. Also seems a bit standoffish if you ask for clarification, which I found very rude

Comment:

Very, very monotone and his teaching methods are hard to follow. He know's what he's talking about but does not make it easy for students to pass. His quizzes are very hard and he expects students to copy every word he says and devote every waking moment to this class. I would NOT recommend taking Human Physiology with him.

Lindemann is the man. Really enjoyed his class. It covers A LOT of material and you do learn a lot but his tests are super hard. He really knows what he's talking about and is pretty funny too.

He really knows what he is talking about and has been teaching this class for a long time. I learned a lot in this class. The grading scale is nice (90%=4.0). 10 quizzes and a final. You can drop your 2 lowest quiz grades. This class does require a lot of studying. Take good notes and read the book.

Comment:

If you are a health science major, do NOT take him! You will not learn anything. He picks certain things to lecture about, and the rest you are left to study ON YOUR OWN. His quizzes are impossibly hard unless you aren't taking other classes and can devote all your time to studying his class. Avoid him if you can.

Comment:

Prof. Lindemann is the man. He can be boring at times but he has his moments. He shows some pretty cool demonstrations during a few of the classes. Listen and take good notes. The quizzes mainly come from his lectures but it's good to read about the figures he assigns. Not an easy class but if you put in the effort you should get a decent grade.

Previous poster is right. The students that do well in this class have access to previous semester's quizzes.

Comment:

Professor Lindemann is extremely monotone and makes an exciting subject pretty boring. His quizzes are a far stretch from the lectures and book; a huge percent of my class failed, and those who didn't had former students' quizzes to study from. Don't take Lindemann's class--go to a community college to save money and your GPA.

Very good professor. This class is difficult, due to the amount of material covered. But, i did enjoy his teaching style, dry, but relatively clear. Also, i recorded his lectures and found it beneficial.

Comment:

This guy is pretty funny every once in a while. Explains things clearly and in an interesting manner.I would not buy the book. He draws well and if you can keep up his diagrams are better than the book's. He tests only on lecture. He assigns figures in the book, but they're covered in class. I found the class easy (4.0) but many dropped it.

WORST professor I have ever had by far. Don't listen to what anyone else says. I went to ask him a simple question and his answer was that I should have known and did not answer me. Quizzes are all fill in blank and very confusing. Do NOT TAKE!

Comment:

This teacher's voice is so monotone, you will be fighting to keep awake. He is a good teacher though. You will learn a lot! Unfortunately, his quizzes were nothing like his lectures. The key things he told us that were important, weren't on the quizzes. Record him, make notecards, study 4 hours, do your best! And still end up fighting to get a C

He is very fair. You have 11 quizzes and get to drop your lowest. Try to do well on all of them because quiz #11 is a cumulative quiz and if you can drop that do so. Can't miss lecture b/c notes are the quiz. look at important figures & you'll do fine

Comment:

This is a fair class. No exams just quizzes about once a week or so. Must go to class and take notes as quizzes are almost based entirely off those. Keeps you just about till the end of class every time. Nice guy, his dry humor is actually quite funny.

Comment:

Good teacher overall, but very hard. I know alot of people had a tough time n even dropped, but i found tape recording him very helpful. His quizzes are straight from what he says. Even though this took more effort, i was getting the A's. Don't read book just look at figures assigned. Good Luck!

Comment:

His class was difficult, read the book!! He drew pictures during the break we had to draw in our notes, and I remember the Alan Alman deep monotone voice and rubber cowboy boots in lecture hall, he def. knows his stuff, but I had to take the class again with another prof. His 10 quizzes are fill in the blank. May the force be with you!
