AMAZING professor! His lectures were very interesting, they really give you a new outlook on not only your health and your families health, but on our healthcare system in the U.S. as a whole. As long as you go to lecture and section you will you do well in this class. Definitely recommend.
Incredibly talented professor. Enjoyed going to lecture and section. Take a class with him if you can, you will not regret it!
Latto is by far one of the best professors at UCSB. He is passionate, intelligent, and a very great guy. He cares about his students, and will go the length to help you understand. Very easy to listen to, very understandable and interesting material in class. Overall a pretty easy class if you pay attention, which isn't hard when you have John.
Latto is one of the best professors i've had the honor of having during my stay at UCSB. he makes lectures interesting so you actually want to go. plus, even though the notes are all online, it doesn't really make sense unless you go to the lectures. going to sections really helps too (weekly quizzes but they're fairly easy if you pay attention).
AWW YISSSS Professor Latto is hands down one of the best professors I have had the pleasure of taking at UCSB. I took him last spring for EEMB 50 and absolutely loved it. The material is really interesting and kept me looking forward to lecture. Tests are easy and he grades fairly, lots of partial credit. His dry sense of humor is the BEST. 14/10
really interested in what he teachers, doesn't just make you just learn facts gives you interesting stories and history behind diseases, easy and fair tests, really wants his students to do well, doesn't try and trick you in tests, all round nice guy
The class was pretty boring. Mostly just pictures on the lecture slides which isn't helpful at all for studying so you definitely have to go to class. The tests are extremely subjective in terms of grading. And overall, I really didn't learn much. I don't recommend this class.
Hilarious professor. Keeps things frank and to the point, encourages students to start discussions and interesting debates. No midterms or final!! :)
Took Latto's CCS Bio and Research Presentation class. They were both extremely helpful and you can see the time and effort he puts into preparing interesting lectures for his students. Also, a very kind and supportive adviser for CCS students!
Great Class. I definitely recommend it to anyone. Go to class and take notes...you won't use the book at all. Tests are a mix of short answer and essay questions.
