clear professor, made the class interesting with good examples

He's an okay professor. nice. just look at his slides. and how can people think he's hot??? that's so gross

Mostly memorization. He tries to emphasize form and function but he gives lots of vocab words that he doesn't explain and you just have to memorize what animals they correspond to. Also has a tendency to present evolution as a linear trend even though he consistently emphasizes that evolution is nonlinear. At least he speaks clearly.

He is charismatic which is probably why people like him. This course is divided into three sections with three professors and he teaches the last part. His portion is of the class is just memorization. He covers more information in a lecture or two than either of the previous professors covered during their section of the class.

prof. even is awesome. he's really funny and cool and a great lecturer. he really explains the material well that is why you should attend lecture. he does put the slides online but its much easier to understand when he explains it. definitely take a class from him

He's a great lecturer. Not only is he hilarious, but he has the oh so rare gift of actually being able to teach. And he looks like Kevin Spacey- SHWING!

there is alot of information that you need to know, but it isnt really hard if you can keep up with the studying. he does reuse all of his exams, so if you can get ahold of them, you are pretty much set. he is funny, and easy to approach. seriously tho, try to get his old exams

By far the best professor I've had in my academic career. I am not a science person by any means and he really brings the course to life. He is clear, without being condescending, and his lectures were always fun and interesting. This was my only class on Fridays and I went every week out of sheer love for the class.

The best teacher I've ever had. He is hilarious! At times I forgot whether I had stepped into a college ecology class or a stand up comedy routine. I actually looked forward to going to class.

Professor Even is one of the best teachers at this school. He is so much fun. Makes the class fun and interesting and really easy to get. I loved the class.

Dr. Even makes the class fun to attend. Is also really funny.

This teacher is the best teacher UCSB has by far...you actually have fun in this class,stay awake, and learn. This class is the full package all you have to do is go to the lecture imean c'mon the discussion class is harder than the lecture....piece of apple pie!

his tests are not really hard if you know the material. the only thing that makes this class hard is that there is a LOT of info, and it's impossible to know all of it, so it's hard to know what you will be tested on. you NEED to go to class! write things down, tests on stuff he says in lec.

so funny! he is a great professor and the midterm was super fair

Everything on the test comes from the slides. One of the best teachers at UCSB i've taken thus far. he's very entertaining, so it's easy to stay awake. don't read the text. he tells you that you don't have to read it, it's only to suppliment the material. just pretty much memorize the slides!

Even is the sh***. He gets paid as a lecturer, not a researcher so he can actually teach... unlike some of the professors here. He's really entertaining, FUNNY, nice, and a great guy overall! He can be teaching a class on the biology of dirt and it'd be interesting! He'll be one of your faves in the bio series, i gaurantee it.

Simply amazing. I actually considered changing my major to ecology because of this guy. He makes what is normally dry, seeminging pointless material sound interesting and important. One of my favorite profs ever

Not at all interested in taking this class, but quickly became my favorite class. He keeps you interested in the lectures and makes it entertaining. Can't really ask more from a professor. You don't need the book. Study the slides and the test will be simple. Awesome professor: teaches you the material in a bearable manner. I highly recommend it.

Even is an amazing professor. He makes biology, even the branches of biology that I originally had no interest in, seem so much more fascinating. He makes the subject matter come alive. I came away from each of his lectures feeling that I had learned a lot and had spent my time well.

Usually it's hard for me to actually attend EVERY lecture of a class, but it was not the case for EEMB2/ 3. Prof. Even IS defintely one of the best professors i've had here in UCSB. Not only does he make class fun, his style of teaching actually helps you retain some of the dry materials needed to be taught. Take him and you won't regret it. :)

Really helpful to premed students, was an ex-medschool student and will give lots of advice. Approachable. Not an easy class but a good class where you can apply what you learn to the mcats.

s'06 was his first time teaching 108c. he started off timid, but by the end was cracking jokes and making snide comments left and right. made for an entertaining class. he holds review sessions himself, those were fun. His m/c are tricky, tests are tricky. but he's fair in that he only tests what he teaches in class. so take good notes.

Class started slow, then picked up towards end of quarter. His first time teaching 108c so we needed to cut him some slack. Really emphasized knowing drugs and medical ailments for those interested in medical professions. Midterm/final reviews always good and entertaining thanks to 'Those guys' for their contributions. Recommended!!

This prof. and class was awesome! It not only is interesting, but it is easy and fun too! He is hilarious and tells priceless stories so you should definitely go to class. The book is pointless to read but you should read the reader (which is interesting anyway). Highly recommended!
