Professor Kuris is an amazing teacher who has a tremendous knowledge of invertebrates. The invertebrate zoology classes are really fun if you like invertebrates, but they are also very challenging because of the amount of material you have to memorize.

EEMB112 . Kuris A M 10 Months Ago

Most interesting class I have taken at UCSB, definitely going to remember this stuff forever! The class was pretty difficult because of the tests and the lab practicals, but studying for it really was beneficial to my learning. Totally recommend the class, and definitely go on the field trips! They really pulled the experience together.

Dr. Kuris is a funny and well respected professor, his lectures are engaging and always super interesting. Lab practicals are very hard and require a TONNN of time put into studying, but if you put the work in it will be VERY rewarding. Not an easy class, but I would still recommend taking it.

My favorite professor at UCSB! Dr. Kuris genuinely cares about students and is very passionate about invertebrates and parasites. He's very responsive to emails and is very easy to talk to during office hours. Go take EEMB 111 and 112 before he retires! The lab practicals are tough, but dissections are so fun. Amazing and funny professor.
