EEMB2 . Even T J 8 Years Ago

I loved him soooo much. Dr. Even is exactly why i went to college. I will be taking his upper divisions if not just to hear his jokes. 3 wish they were all this great.

Even is the best biology professor I've had at UCSB. He really cares about his students and gives us all the tools we need to succeed in his class. He makes lectures interesting by giving real-life examples and fun facts. At the beginning of every lecture he does a review about previous material, which is really helpful. Take his class!!

Dr. Even is the best teacher I have ever had. Lectures were so funny and interesting even though I didn't even like the subject matter. He made me appreciate ecology more. Tests were very fair - if you went to class and studied a little you'd get an easy A. If you have a chance to be in Dr. Even's class do it!

Awesome professor who tries really hard and wants his students to succeed. Go to class and print the slides and write down anything additional he says. Go to class and you will pass. Tests make you think critically and apply concepts but he prepares you well. Great professor overall.

He was awesome! He made the class even more interesting than it already was. His enthusiasm sparks a wonderful desire to learn. I loved him as a lecturer and can't wait to take a class with him again.

Best professor I've ever had by far, best class I've taken in college thus far. He's incredibly knowledgable, passionate, and explains everything very clearly. He tells you exactly what to expect and never tries to trick on tests. The lectures are super interesting and he's really funny and charismatic so you're captivated the entire time.

His lectures are extremely clear and interesting. He can be amusing at times. His midterm is moderate in difficulty. He provides alot of help with his computation sets and iclicker questions.

Out of all the professors that Bio majors usually have during Winter Quarter, Even will by far be the easiest and best one you will have. He's a great guy, his lecture slides are clear, and the exam was fair. Don't put off studying until the last minute though, his tests are not a walk in the park.

Even is THE BEST professor I have ever had. He is incredible for upper divs; he made freshwater ecology so interesting! His tests make you memorize info but you also have to synthesize answers and do problem solving, so you need to really understand the material. Don't buy the book! Go to lecture, slides aren't comprehensive (he adds on info).

If you haven't taken a class with Dr. Even you should. He is every EEMB majors dream professor. Great lectures, approachable, caring, and a reasonable grader. He is one of the few professors who chose the teaching route instead of research. Also, he is department cochair so get an A and letter of rec. Stream ecology was a great class.

This was one of my favorite classes. The professor is very smart and very clear in his lectures and makes class interesting. I hate science but this class made it really fun and easy to learn. As long as you study the lecture slides which are all online you'll get an A in the class.

TAKE THIS CLASS! I've never been a huge biology fan but this class was life-changing. Professor Even is articulate, clear, and breaks down the trickier topics into easy to understand concepts. Always adds little anecdotes to the curriculum which make you remember it on the tests. Lecture slides online. Extra credit on Fridays!

Professor Even is absolutely incredible! I absolutely loved his class! He is very straight to the point for tests and makes class so interesting. By far the best class Ive taken at UCSB. If you need a science credit for GEs or if its one of your options for your major, take this class!

Professor Even is one of the best lecturers I've had at UCSB. Even if you're not interested in the subject, his lectures and his style of teaching will keep your attention. I took this class during summer, and the tests were pretty comprehensive. As long as you actually pay attention and study well, you'll do good on the tests

This guy is gold. Teaching is his niche in life. By far the best professor here at UCSB (at least in terms of biology). It is very rare to experience this level of absolute mind-blowing teaching ability. 5/5. Please take a class with this guy. You will learn lots, not be stressed about grading policies, and enjoy the life applicable material.

Dr. Even was very knowledgeable and I really enjoyed taking this class. He made the lectures fun and interesting. I'm not really into science, but I really loved his biology class. I would definitely recommend it!!

I absolutely LOVED this class. Even does a great job of giving an in depth overview of a wide range of topics. You can tell that he knows his stuff and is excited to share it with you. He requires a lot of retained information on the tests but they are straight forward and he never tests you on the random facts. Best class at UCSB by far!

FAVORITE class at UCSB so far!!! Evens is so interesting, he brings in his own experiences and extensive knowledge!!! I didn't understand what he wanted on his tests so I didn't do as well as I hoped, but this didn't tarnish my love for this class! Read the textbook, but he doesn't test you on it, even if he says he does. Study lectures!
