CollegeI really enjoyed Professor Carlson's section of EEMB 3. He explains everything in an easy-to-understand way. His exam was very manageable and similar to the practice exam he gave before. Go to lecture and study the slides and you'll be fine!
Such a good lecturer, he was so engaging an interested in what he was talking about. Gave a practice midterm which was helpful on the midterm BUT some questions were worded really weird but he gave back points on the questions he messed up. Study and you'll be fine.
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.
Prof. Carlson's portion of the class is informative and well-organized. The quizzes and exam material is pulled mostly from the lectures, with a small portion coming from assigned readings. Lecture slides are fairly detailed, so studying is pretty straightforward. The practice midterm is really helpful too.
Professor Carlson is like a celebrity amongst my friends. He's an amazing lecturer, my favorite out of the three EEMB3 professors and is incredibly clear and interesting. He obviously cares a lot about microbes and his enthusiasm is infectious. Aside from that, hes like a literal dilf. My friend says he has "firefighter energy" and I have to agree.
