AWW YISSSS Professor Latto is hands down one of the best professors I have had the pleasure of taking at UCSB. I took him last spring for EEMB 50 and absolutely loved it. The material is really interesting and kept me looking forward to lecture. Tests are easy and he grades fairly, lots of partial credit. His dry sense of humor is the BEST. 14/10

really interested in what he teachers, doesn't just make you just learn facts gives you interesting stories and history behind diseases, easy and fair tests, really wants his students to do well, doesn't try and trick you in tests, all round nice guy

Great class! I really love Latto he's one of my favorite professors at UCSB I although I enjoyed EEMB 50 more just because it's more relevant both of his classes were amazing. Pretty straight forward and stimulating curriculum. PowerPoints used but you'll mainly be tested on what he SAYS in lecture. Class based on vocab and concepts

boring hard

The class was pretty boring. Mostly just pictures on the lecture slides which isn't helpful at all for studying so you definitely have to go to class. The tests are extremely subjective in terms of grading. And overall, I really didn't learn much. I don't recommend this class.

I definitely recommend taking from Latto. His lectures are so informative and interesting and the class is very fair and easy to do well in if you study/attend lecture. He's a great guy, funny and super helpful.

Best class ever!! (minus section) Lecture material is really, really interesting and easy to understand. I actually looked forward to going to class. You only need the book for the weekly section quizzes (only 1 question from book), so I recommend you share it if you can. Really light workload

Hilarious professor. Keeps things frank and to the point, encourages students to start discussions and interesting debates. No midterms or final!! :)

John is one of the best professors I've had. I took this as a senior, and there were mostly underclassmen, so it seemed very easy. John is very friendly, has a dry but funny humor and he makes lecture a giant story of diseases.Each week is a new disease. I definitely recommend taking a class with him, specifically EEMB40 or 50 which he made himself

Good class :) Latto is a great professor and lecture is engaging, regardless of your major. There are quizzes almost every week in section and one midterm and final. If you take good notes in lecture and review them then the quizzes & tests are all very easy. Would definitely take another class with him.

Armand is one of the best professors at UCSB, especially if you take him for Parasitology. He really works to answer your questions and is enthusiastic about teaching and the subject matter. The class requires a lot of memorization, but if you put the work in, you'll get a good grade. The TAs are also really helpful and nice.

Such a fascinating class! 1 midterm and 1 final, section is like 20% of your grade. He loves what he's teaching and does a great job. Midterm was easy, final was a lot harder but still wasn't hard to get an A. Go to lecture for all the information that you'll be tested on, book isn't used.

Latto is a great professor. But if you are looking for an easy A, I would not take this class. I got a B and I went to every lecture and section and took notes. I found this class extremely interesting and I would definitely recommend taking it.

Latto is GREAT! I got a B- in the class but I did try really hard. I had Mary Toothman as a TA and she was GREAT. LOVED HER! Extremely helpful and clear. Prof Latto is smart and gets the main points out! 1 midterm 1 final and discussion is like 20% of your grade. Enjoyed this course. Good luck!

Prof Latto is great! His lectures are entertaining and interesting. I would definitely recommend going to class because the slides he posts dont include all the info you need to know but I found myself wanting to go to lecture to learn the material. Super easy, make sure you know the index words he gives you and you'll be fine.

Really nice lady but TAs graded crazy hard on tests considering that the subject material was really easy. Tests should have been easy but she referred to specific examples on the test which she specifically said she would not do. On questions where the test would prompt you to give a brief answer, they you if you didn't go into considerable detail

One of my favorite classes I've taken. Latto is a great professor and really makes the lectures interesting. He has a good sense of humor and I highly recommend taking this class. The textbook isn't necessary.

Great class and great professor. He has an incredible body of work to share and tells some excellent stories. Lectures are important, definitely don't miss them. Tests are hard but graded fairly, and the lab is awesome but definitely requires effort. Not an easy class, but very much worth taking!

Latto was a really great teacher. If you attend lecture and take notes you will get a good grade. The material is interesting and presented in an interesting way.

Class was interesting for the most part. Kind of dull professor, but lecture portion of class was easy. Lab practicals were harder than lecture exams. I would recommend the class although I disliked that we talked quite a bit about organisms that weren't actually parasites.

If you want to learn a lot of cool stuff about diseases just for the sake of it being interesting-this is the class for you. The entire grade is made up of a really easy final (45%) and midterm (30%), and section attendance (10%), and easy section quizzes (15%). This class is very easy, and if you ever cared to learn about diseases, take EEMB40

Prof Kuris is an amazing teacher...you can tell he is really invested in his students' futures as biologists.

The Best Prof I have ever had, He is so interested in what he teaches its an awesome class! I recommend taking a class with him!! So cool!

Great Class. I definitely recommend it to anyone. Go to class and take notes...you won't use the book at all. Tests are a mix of short answer and essay questions.
