EEMB40 . Latto J G 3 Months Ago

An absolute GOAT! I loved this class: it was super interesting and well structured. Literally one of the first GEs I actually wanted to go to lecture for. Super knowledgeable. No projects, the online weekly quizzes were super easy with two attempts each, and the online final was almost entirely recycled quiz questions. Take for the easiest A ever!!

EEMB40 . Latto J G 3 Months Ago

This is a super easy class with a very light workload. You get 3 short writing assignments total and one quiz a week. Everything including the final is open note so if you really wanted, you could skip every lecture and just look up the answers. Section is participation based and very relaxed.

EEMB2 . Even T J 5 Months Ago

He is a very good lecturer and makes students participate in the lecture, which is very helpful. The only reason I am not giving him a 5 is because his grading system is sooooo weird. Unlike every other teacher who has a 80-82.5% (B-), 83-86.5% (B), and 87-89.5% (B+) grading scale, his scores are B-=(80-81), B=82-88, and B+= 89.

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

EEMB2 . Even T J 6 Months Ago

While this course is test heavy with 90% of your grade relying on two multiple choice, online tests, the course is still enjoyable. The first test was on ecology (I got a 78%), and the final was on evolution (I got an 89%). Class averages were high so there was minimal rounding. He tells you exactly what to expect on tests (45 questions each)

Professor Latto is amazing! I took this class after taking EEMB 40 in the Fall because I enjoyed his teaching so much. Each week you learn about a new non-infectious disease like diabetes, cancer, or heart disease. Lectures are recorded and attendance is only mandatory for section. Sections are chill and easy. Prof Latto is super smart and funny!
