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.

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.

I can't Even.. Oh wait yes I can! Even is the best

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.

Greatest professor you will have in the bio department.

Dr Even is fantastic. you should really take his class

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.

I always thought Ecology was stupid until I took his class. Oh my god i really feel like I see the world differently now- this guy is amazing- and he's pretty easy so TAKE HIM

I LOVED this professor!! He's both an amazing teacher and is hilarious. He makes the subject so interesting. i never missed a class

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.

This man was totally awesome. His class got me totally interested and convinced me to major in Ecology and Evolution.

Superb lecturer. Even makes ecology a fun subject to learn. Ecology as a science is rather conceptual in nature, but also very intuitive. Test wasn't too bad, considering the average was a C. Highly recommend taking a course with him.

Professor Even is awesome. His lecturing style is incredibly clear and concise and he always seems interested in whatever he is saying. Great, great professor.

All I have to say is wow. Even is one of the best teachers I have had at UCSB so far and has made me so interested in the field of ecology. I really didn't think I was interested at all before. Thank you Dr. Even for making the first half of EEMB 2 so enjoayable. He is the best lecturer and I would love to have him again.

Very clear teacher. Start memorizing slides/phyla as soon as you start learning them. Memorization is the key to this class

Even is extremely clear of his expectations, but Tropical Ecology is not easy! The tests are incredibly detailed and they will take points off for the tiniest nuances. However he is very reasonable and understanding if you try to get help and do well. Great professor.

GREAT TEACHER. really cares about the students and not just his/her research. really tried to help us and wanted us to succeed. very clear even when material got a little tricky.

Professor Even is the best professor I've had thus far at UCSB! He is extremely passionate about what he's teaching. He's very likable and presents the material in a straightforward way. His tests make you apply what you learned but he really helps you prepare for them. He made ecology so interesting!

Even is awesome! One of the best professors in the department! Super charismatic and likable and presented material very clearly. One of the few professor's whose teaching style really grasped my attention.

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
