CollegeProf Carlson is fantastic. He taught marine microbio with Prof. Santoro and they were a great duo. Carlson is great at explaining everything & teaches at an excellent pace. Both professors really care, the final lecture was dedicated to reviewing lecture material. If you put in the effort you will definitely do well! Take this class!
Prof Santoro is amazing. She is super intelligent & easy to talk to if you have any questions. I highly recommend taking EEMB 144 if she is teaching. The only semi negative thing I can say is that she talks on the fast side but even then its not bad. Grade is based off a few hw assignments, midterm, section participation & final. Take this class!
I liked him a lot. He is clear on what he wants us to know for the test and seems passionate about what he is teaching. As long as you watch the lectures and pay attention to what he is saying while he explains his slides you will succeed. Nice professor.
Meh. Lectures are not the most interesting, and slides are not informative at all. Need to really pay attention as he's wiggling around topics making it hard to grasp. Not the worst but definitely not the best.
