great professor…. If I was bald like him. his tests are way too long. the final was near 100 questions. he tries to be cool by making jokes in video modules we have to watch but he tries too hard and just adds to the time of the videos to make it seem like we are learning. i spend only like 2 mins writing notes out of the 30 mins when he talks blah

It's ok, he likes to rant a lot and go off topic in lecture. The lectures are twice as long as they need to because of this.Exams are hard and will trick you, but gives a good amount of time for it. lot of discussion is different topics and the readings come from news articles so I get confused how to connect it to the lectures slides.

Visually and systematically well-formatted for online,but content deviates heavily from neutrality to partisanship.This course aims to set a platform to indoctrinate rather than educate, discouraging academic exploration or open discussions on complex topics.Students are forced to align answers with course agenda on linguistically confusing tests.

His lectures are very detailed and easy to understand. The way he formats the class though feels like it can be a lot of work sometimes, and the time limit for quizzes and the tests can be intimidating. There are quite a few things due each week but it wasn't bad. His exams are hard but if you study and really understand, you should be fine!

Prof Even is extremely organized and the material is really easy to cover in your own time. His lectures are really entertaining. Material is not hard if you took science classes in HS. Tests are very reasonable. I didn't have to read the book to do well. Great Area C for a Humanities Student!!!!

Professor Even is great! He's nice and makes lectures interesting. The way he formats his class makes sense, even though it can seem like a lot of work at times. I wish that this class was more about controversial issues like it is supposed to be and less about basic biology though. We would only spend like 1 day talking about controversies.

I took the EEMB W 22. You just have to watch all the recorded lectures on GS, do weekly assignments, and midterm and final test. The lectures are pretty solid. The weekly assignments are interesting but includes a lot of readings. The midterm and finals are MCQ, and asks detailed and tough questions.

Professor Even's lectures are the best in UCSB for me. He does know every concept of biology and how they related to real life examples. Essays and quizzes take up 1/3 of the grade, and quizzes related to readings are really tricky and hard. Midterm and final take up 2/3 of the grade, and they are hard but follow the exam guide you will be okay.

Really interesting class, lots of relevant conversation during section. Science is a bit harder for me personally so I just P/NP'ed it. Good for taking care of a GE. I'm not big on math and science courses, but this was a really good choice! The online setup is well done, left me time for other courses, but midterm and final definitely take work,

Solid material. Things were clearly given. However, he is the only professor I have had during the Pandemic that has enforced ProctorU. It is unfair to a lot of students with varying environments. Also, he is not understanding when it comes to outside difficulties and basically says, "my decision is final and it is up to you on how you take that."

Lectures are super clear and high quality. Professor is very entertaining and topics are easy to understand.

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!

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.

Real cool guy, he delivers his material straight to the point, and constantly requires the class to repeat shout out what he just taught as he goes along. Attendance is important because all test material comes from there. Book is not necessary. Tests are multi choice and short response. Def recommend!

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.

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

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!

Fantastic Professor... Mostly basic stuff and you can get away with not attending lecture but I highly recommend going- its totally worth it. ES majors should take it for sure- easy A

Best teacher I have so far. Made class interesting and excting, as well as straight forward. A great class if you dont have a lot of interest or knowledge about science and need the GE. Highly recommend the class! Dr. Even for prez!
