    EEMB159 . Even T J 5 Months Ago

    He's an amazing lecturer, his tests are awful. I took him in the summer, and the class itself was amazing and he makes learning information fun. Dude his tests tho... They were full of synthesis questions, which really makes you learn the material, the issue was THERE WAS TOO MUCH. Fun class and great prof, but oh god

    Dr. Even is a REALLY good professor. He dedicates time to understanding how he should teach students, and what works best for them. His lectures during the online formate were the most engaging I have experienced so far. I had him in person for EEMB2, and online for EEMB159, and he was great both times. 1 midterm, final, and section work.

    EEMB159 . Even T J 20 Years Ago

    There's a lot of material but he has slides online and is really clear about what he's going to test on so it makes it easy to study.
