too much work! should be worth way more than 1 unit!!!!!!!!

She has written down on the course policies that she gives makeup exams but she doesn't. Says you can contest your grade but when I complained about a grading mistake on my practical (and I'm 100% sure), the staff refused to fix it. Reuses questions she threw out other quarters because 1/2 students got another very close answer.

negligent, incompetent, disorganized, lazy

Several videos to watch in order to take a weekly quiz, reading the lab manual before lab, a ridiculous amount of questions in the manual that you need to answer, two practicals, and a fat research project without ANY guidance and sources that hardly make sense or cover necessary material. Good luck!

Trust me, too much work for 1 unit class. Lab manual is so unorganized

I'm going to come off as so extra but I swear, this is most disorganized class that I've ever taken w the most disorganized lab manual that I've ever read. The lab manual constantly has conflicting information in it, is written out of order, is so grammatically incorrect and vague, etc. yet we are graded on our knowledge of extremely specific info

A true gem of a professor. He made EEMB a breeze, and his lectures were the most entertaining I have seen at UCSB. Incredible professor who clearly takes time and effort into pushing his students in the right direction. His stories were memorable, and helps my recall of the class even after I no longer need most of the material.

He's really knowledgable about the subject and has a passion for teaching. He talks more indepth in lecture than just off the slides so go to lecture if you want to do well. Although his exam questions ask for way too much imo and I barely finish in time & my hand is dead afterwards. He wants everyone to do well so class and really cares about you.

Dr. Even is THE BEST PROFESSOR. He is extremely enthusiastic about his subject specialty and makes lectures a joy to come to. He sets you up for SUCCESS. Everything he puts in his powerpoints are crucial to know. I wish every professor was like him. Go to CLAS tutoring! *beware... do well on his portion of the class because Dr. Rice is a menace*

Dr. Even is the best biology professor I've had at UCSB! He has a lot of passion in the subject matter and it shows in his lectures. His powerpoints do not have much info on them and he gives most of the details in class. His exams are pretty long (5 pages mostly short answer) but doable. I highly recommend you take any of his classes.

Love him. Such a great lecturer. Tests not that hard but you definitely need to study. Never used the textbook, just rewatched the lectures posted online and took notes.

An amazing professor. I found his lectures to be pretty interesting, and he definitely made the class more enjoyable. Make sure to pay attention during lecture and really understand how to apply the concepts you learn in class (specific examples, visualize the data).

This guy is a dope professor. Even though this class is a mandatory prereq, it could have been way worse if it was taught by anybody else. His lectures are super entertaining. Kind of a bummer he only teaches half of the class.

Objectively graded class, no curve or very low curve. Make a good connection with your TA because they grade your paper that is worth about 20% of your grade. Do all the pre-labs and labs on time, these are the easy points. 1 unit class, but if you want to get a good grade, study hard for the practicals.

Even though I had to retake this class (note: please do NOT underestimate the class), I don't mind because Dr. Even is an amazing lecturer. He really likes to engage with the class and makes the topics more interesting. He tests from the slides but you really have to understand the concepts in order to know the examples.

awesome online class to take spring quarter. the recorded lectures are very interesting and he keeps it intriguing with cool examples. Readings for the quiz can be kind of long but the topics are all cool, you can look at them while taking the online quiz. Use the study guides/take notes and the tests will be very easy!

May be one of the most disorganized people for this job. She is in charge of coordinating the lectures and labs for intro bio classes and fails to do so well. The class is over complicated and the lab doesn't match the class at all. During my final she repeatedly screamed out errors she made on the final in a disruptive way. Very negative person.

One of my favorite professors, the intro bio series was very challenging but the portion of it that he taught made me love EEMB. Gives very good real world examples and his midterm was very clear. Looooved this class. Go to lecture & take good notes and it's easy to succeed

I'm a stats major with interest in environmental studies and bio applications of stats, Took his online EEMB 22 class (EEMB W 22), wouldn't do it any other way. The readings are amazing and the discussion is thought provoking. Recorded lectures are great. He was really animated and helpful in office hours.

Professor Even has been one of my favorite teachers at UCSB. His lectures are amazing (and all are recorded). The test was hard, though.

Very disorganized. Overcomplicate concepts in an intro class. The experiments she design barely match lectures. Has a lot of attitudes. Practicals are hard to study for. She really doesn't deserve this job.

Although this was not my favorite subject in the intro Bio series, Evens made this class a lot more interesting. His lectures weren't boring and he was one of my favorite professors so far!

Amazing professor, really cares about how he presents himself. He doesnt just read off of the lecture slides, he engages, and constantly reviews things before beginning the new lecture. Honestly considered switching to ecology just so I could have him as a professor again.

He made even the most boring material seem interesting. I would highly recommend going to lecture; he is very good at explaining things that may not be clear on the lecture slides. The book isn't necessary; everything you need to know is learned in lecture.
