His lectures are amazing. Homework and tests are reasonable.

Class isn't that difficult, very practical material. No busy work or extra readings, mainly lecture-based info. A few quizzes (worst grade dropped) and one-page responses, but nothing major. Funny and approachable guy, cares about students. Personally have a hard time with science so it took more work for me, but very doable. Easy Area C class.

He is absolutely amazing. He is so knowledgeable. Everyone, regardless of major, should take this class. Not only is it doable, but you learn so many important things you can use in your actual life. His lectures are amazing he is so funny, I am sad I missed some. I feel honored to have taken his class, I will take any other classes he teaches.

Lattos lectures are very interesting, he's a great lecturer I recommend! The midterm was very straightforward based on the information he gave us.

Tyler is an amazing teacher. Her class is tested based on attendance in section and midterms. She gives you the questions used on the study guide so if you can fill in the study guide you are guaranteed an A. That being said you should go to lecture as her slides only have pictures so the study guide is easier to fill out with your own notes.

Professor Latto is hilarious during lecture and explains everything super clearly. He also has a study guide that covers pretty much everything you need to know for the exam. If you watch the lectures you will do well.

Dr. Latto made learning evolution pretty fun! He's witty and loves his anecdotal examples. He only uses stuff in lecture on the test, which is a huge plus. Even though I'm not passionate about evolution, he made it more digestible. Take him if you can!

Latto is pretty relaxed and can make lectures interesting. He provides a practice final which is pretty helpful. Dont neglect EEMB for MCDB. If you dont cram, go to lecture and clas, you can easily get an A.

Latto is very funny and gives interesting lectures. Easy to pay attention because he likes to tell stories about the concepts to help you remember them. Not too much content, but goes into depth so you really know the concepts and it's not just memorization. Know how to apply to the concepts for the exams.

Professor Tyler is one of my favorite professor's at UCSB. Her passion and enthusiasm keep lectures interesting. She made me so much more knowledgeable and aware of conservation science. Guest speakers were awesome! 10/10 would take a class with her again

Honestly Dr. Latto is a wonderful professor. He clearly cares about his students truly grasping and learning something significant from the material. He does not waste your time with endless lists of useless facts, he does an excellent job of tying together seemingly unrelated material. I have taken two of his classes now and would surely recommend

Latto is the best instructor I have had so far at UCSB. Really no bad things about the class besides that it does not fulfill any great GE or Area requirements. Super nice and funny guy, great accent, easy and interesting class. Take him if you have the chance!

Professor Latto is a really great lecturer. He makes jokes and is engaging. I didn't always go to lecture and did fine, but I would highly recommend attending as it makes it easier. There were quizzes every section, as well as weekly reading, but it is all relatively easy. 1 Midterm & 1 Final, as usual.

Amazing professor teaching super interesting material, what more could you want? The entire grade is based on one midterm, the final and weekly quizzes in section but it's all really easy. No textbook and powerpoints are sparse so attendance is a must, but lectures are entertaining so it's fine.

Super interesting lectures! There are only a few quizzes, midterm and final, which are straight-forward if you take good notes. This course is absolutely amazing and interesting. Must attend lectures! Would highly recommend taking his class, you can learn so much from it.

AMAZING LECTURES! I loved this class so much and would want to listen to him talk more about infectious diseases even after he finished lecturing. Few quizzes, midterm and final, which are straight-forward if you take good notes. Lectures are absolutely amazing and interesting. Must attend lectures! Would highly recommend taking his class!

My favorite professor!! I have taken two of his classes and both are easy if you just show up and he makes the class interesting. He puts all of his slides online, but you should still go to class because they have minimal information. Your grade is based on the midterm and final (multiple, vocab, frq) and 4 point quizzes given during section.

super awesome professor! class is straightforward and entertaining. tests (2) weren't hard but quizzes (5, 1 dropped) were sometimes confusing/vague. would definitely recommend this professor and this class! (also has occasional jokes and an entertaining accent) also, very little to no reading (for discussion, reading isn't on tests)

EEMB50 with Latto was awesome. The material was always interesting and he's great at explaining difficult concepts. At times this class can feel like a physiology class though. One midterm and final that were straightforward and easy as long as you studied and went to lecture. About 5 quizzes in section. Take this class!!!

Armand is a great professor and an awesome person! He truly cares about his students' success and he researches parasites so he is incredibly knowledgeable about the subject matter. The lecture tests are fair as long as you attend lecture and study, but the lab practicals are pretty difficult. Try to take pictures of the sp in lab to study for them

Funny and passionate professor. No textbook so lecture is essential. Around 5 quizzes in section. The material is interesting, explained well, and applicable outside class. As long as you pay attention in lecture and study prior you should be able to get an A. Would 100% recommend this class for a GE or otherwise. One of my favorite classes here.
