I felt like he did not take the class seriously or not. He took two weeks to grade the midterms, but had not yet recorded grades or figured out how many points the test was out of when we went to his office to pick up the tests. When he finally did figure it out he curved it so that the average grade was a C- rather than a C. He also showed up to t
good professor but even better class; really interesting but goes into a lot of detail
Evoltionary Medicine is a great class. It's a college of creative studies class but is open to all students. IT is taught by Armand, Bob Warner and Bill Meller. The three of them interact well together are are all brilliant men and great teachers. The class is small, discussion based and well worth it.
He taught the 2nd part of this course which focused on molecular genetics. His lectures were well presented and full of good info. He lightened the course with his humor and laid back attitude. Tests are very fair and easy if you study and understand the examples in class, which isn't hard because he explains the concepts very well.
Armand is one of the best professors I have had. He is very helpful and very interesting. Parasitology was the most interesting class I ever took and I'm sad to see it end. The lab practicals are hard, but if you put a lot of time in studying, you'll do fine, and I'm glad they were hard because it makes you really have to learn it.
The parasite lab kicked my a$$! I've never had to work so hard.....but THE most interesting course I took at UCSB. Armand is an aweseome guy...very friends and loves his work and his students.
The final was a lot easier than I thought it would be. There are a lot of little details to know, but few are tested on thoroughly.
This class was sooo interesting, but hard at the same time. You have to know every parasite known to man! Definately take the class though: the TA's are awesome and it's worth the work.

Armand is one real cool professor. He make learning fun and devoted to helping students. He even made me interested in something as sicko as parasatalogy. And he is good looking!!!
