Dr. Latto is the best. All lectures are optional and recorded. Section is mandatory but super easy. Final is asynchronus and no midterm. 1 quiz a week with 10 questions and the way he lectures makes what could be complicated material super understandable. take this class!!

This was the worst class I have ever taken in my time at UCSB. It was more difficult than it needed to be, and even after studying extensively and understanding the concepts, the questions on the midterm and final were worded weirdly and meant to trick you 100%. Take small eemb by any means necessary and do not take it with this professor.

Amazing prof! I took EEMB40 so I took this class and they were both very similar.

Guidelines are filtering me. I studied for the exam, and it was still difficult. If you do badly on midterm one, there's a low chance of your grade rising again, exams made up almost ALL of your grade, and there was barely a curve. So many people had to drop.

His personality and lectures are so good but the exam was wack for no reason. Genuinely studied as much as I could to do just okay on it, average was 66%. Lectures are recorded. No iClicker grade. The 2 exams make up 90% of the grade (although there is a decent curve). He genuinely made me enjoy ecology however, and I'm really grateful for that.

Great professor and person. He covers material in a very simplistic but good way. Honestly a great lecturer, very cool material covered alongside him being a great lecturer. However, tests were kinda hard and not totally what we learned in class and I did a bit better than avg in the class, still got a C+, so idk
