CCS101 . 1 Year, 1 Month Ago

I love Claudia/Prof Tyler! I haven't had her for any EEMB or ENV lectures, but I have had her as a professor in a few CCS BIO classes. She is extremely generous and loves make her lectures and classes relevant to what is going on at the moment. She is also very fast at responding to emails. I will definitely try to take more classes with her again!

Dr. Tyler is one of the sweetest professors at this school. She seriously tries her best to help student succeed in her courses and she truly understands what everyone is going through. I strongly recommend that you take one of her courses.

Professor Tyler is my favorite professor I have ever had. She is so kind and so enthusiastic and truly cares about the material and her students. Protect her at all costs!! Class is interesting and not hard but rewarding and I learnt a lot.

Professor Tyler has done an amazing job of making her class accommodating during the pandemic. She really cares about her students' learning and is really just a great professor. Highly recommend!

This prof is literally so sweet and so genuinely understanding of the current pandemic situation. The class was graded solely on weekly quizzes (noncumulative) that were really simple and short, as well as weekly activities in section that were also easy and short. I feel like she actually wants students to succeed and learn in her class. A GEM!!!

Maybe, instead of asking if she's a good enough professor for you, you should be asking if you're good enough for her. You cherish her.

prof tyler is an amazing lecturer!! even though not all her info is on the slides, she's super funny and easy to follow in lecture. she really cares about her students and does her best to help everyone succeed. section assignments counted for 40% of the class so there wasn't as much pressure on the exams, and the material was super interesting.

This quarter, we only had one midterm and a final. Section assignments were 40% of the grade. Professor Tyler is so fun and one of my favorite professors I've had at UCSB. She makes the material funny and interesting and she is very passionate about ecology. Tests were based on the questions at the end of lecture. There was one group project.

2 midterms, homework in section, super easy group presentation, final. Super easy class. No iClicker and Claudia tells you not to get the textbook. The worst part was the busy work in section.

She's honestly the sweetest professor ever. TBH taking her class her been really great for my mental health. She seems caring, unlike the cold way most professors seem to handle students in an attempt to appear "professional". She makes me want to attend her lectures, and the little things she does really just brightens up your day.

Tyler's lectures were amazing. Test averages are very high, and she wants it that way. You will only be tested from the summary slides. She also holds review sessions before each test. Attendance is optional, but her lectures are great. She wants students to do well. If you put in the tiniest amount of effort, you will get an A.

Claudia is very kind and easy to talk to. Her lectures are somewhat interesting and straight from the textbook. Before each exam, she will post a list of topics that you should know. Tests are on the easy side, like the kind you can study for the night before.

Whether you have taken the bio series or not, the course material is easy to understand and uncomplicated. Her lectures are fundamental (and a touch boring), but sections were fun! Tyler's assignments were simple and hands on. Take interest in the subjects, study a little, and this class will be a breeze for you. She really cares about her students

Definitely one of the best professors on campus! If you have the opportunity, take her ES100 class. She is so adorable and her class is fairly easy! The material and labs are very interesting. I definitely enjoyed this class :)

Tyler is so supportive and the material is really interesting, but you have probably already learned some of it in another class. Don't buy the textbook. She tests straight from the summery slides at the end of each lecture.

Claudia's the best. She's a sweet mother-like figure who's crazy passionate about nature & wants her students to succeed! She's all about being in the field, so we had a few sections on the beach. Super easy class, don't need the textbook, but go to lecture cuz it's interesting. Fun to talk with, she has office hours at Caje :)

The class is fairly interesting and straightforward. 2 midterms and a final, that are easy to study for if you look at the lecture slides. The sections were also interesting, we did something different every week.

Claudia is super sweet and helpful! The class is made up of very basic material but she presents it very clearly and concisely. She's also available outside office hours just to talk to students. Not the most exciting class but Claudia is super likeable.

Took Latto's CCS Bio and Research Presentation class. They were both extremely helpful and you can see the time and effort he puts into preparing interesting lectures for his students. Also, a very kind and supportive adviser for CCS students!

Conducting experiments in ecology is a great class. You have class on the beach or go for hikes. Claudia is very sweet and helpful. She knows what she's talking about. Good oppertunity to see how to do scientific research the fun way. College of creative Studies class open to everyone

Evoltionary Medicine is a great class. It's a college of creative studies class but is open to all students. IT is taught by Armand, Bob Warner and Bill Meller. The three of them interact well together are are all brilliant men and great teachers. The class is small, discussion based and well worth it.

EEMB2 . Latto J G 6 Months Ago

Latto is one of the best professors I have had at UCSB in a STEM class!! He very obviously cares about his students and wants to see us succeed. His lectures are interesting and funny. He sets you up for success with his exams as he gives plenty of study materials. I really appreciate how he really interacts with us like we're humans.
