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!

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.

The first half of this class sucked because it wasn't with him. But as soon as he started teaching it, IT WAS SO GOOD!! Like a genuinely interesting class in every way. It was pretty profound. And I felt like his teaching style was just so good like I was fully engaged and was learning so much. Got 97% on the final, but still a C in the class.

Prof. Latto is great! Very entertaining lecturer and gives sooo many resources to help you succeed! Failed my first midterm with Even, but was able to get back on track thanks to Latto

Super passionate about the material and makes it interesting and easy to understand. Would 100% take one of his other classes!

Super interesting class and very interesting lectures! Tests are all online and you only have a few assignments all quarter.

If you are gonna take a GE for Area C, TAKE THIS CLASS!! This was actually an amazing class and the material was pretty easy. Quizzes get 2 attempts, no midterm, everything open note (including final). He is super sweet too, and him and the TAs are very passionate, helpful, and engaged. I recommend this class to literally everyone. He is amazing!!

Most interesting class I have taken at UCSB, definitely going to remember this stuff forever! The class was pretty difficult because of the tests and the lab practicals, but studying for it really was beneficial to my learning. Totally recommend the class, and definitely go on the field trips! They really pulled the experience together.

Professor Latto is a delight - his lectures are engaging and he genuinely cares about student success. Use Unstuck study alongside the provided materials for great exam prep. Overall, a fantastic STEM class experience.

John Latto is one of my favorite professors. lectures posted online, only a few writing assignments and quizzes online with 2 attempts. no midterms, final also online. he is the sweetest, funniest and very passionate about what he teaches. DEFINITELY TAKE EEMB40!!

The class is open notes for all assignments and since the lectures are so well done, it is easy to take good notes and understand everything. The diseases we learned about were interesting and provided a good class for first year students.

Professor Latto was great! He always came to class with lots of energy and made all of his lectures interesting in some way. The class itself is also very easy. There was rarely any homework. Every week there was a quiz but it was online and open book. There were no midterms and the final was open book and online. I highly recommend his class

This is a funny guy who has a super interesting class. The class is almost too easy, which tugged at my heartstrings thinking about all the frat majors who would take advantage of this otherwise fascinating class for an easy A. Either way everyone should take it and dispel some pernicious myths surrounding infectious diseases. Thank you, vaccines.

Sweet, caring guy. Genuinely passionate about the topics. Usually keeps it pretty interesting. Just go to section and you'll do well.

Such a passionate and funny professor. Online quiz every week based on the lectures which are also available online. 2-3 writing discussion posts. My TA Eric made sections fun for us with games and discussions. Overall easy GE and all diseases covered are very interesting.

Would rate him 100/10 if I could! EEMB 40 is a must take class - it's incredibly fascinating and Dr. Latto is a very knowledgable and engaging lecturer. Each week you learn about a new disease (Ebola, malaria) and another related topic (vaccines, public sanitation). I'd be constantly laughing throughout lecture bc he's so funny. Easy, fun class!

Super nice professor! He's very considerate of his students and wants you to succeed. Clearly passionate about his teaching. Low-stakes grading with weekly quizzes that are open note and recorded lectures

Latto is one of the best professors I have had at UCSB in a STEM class!! He very obviously cares about his students and wants to see us succeed. His lectures are interesting and funny. He sets you up for success with his exams as he gives plenty of study materials. I really appreciate how he really interacts with us like we're humans.

Dr. Kuris is a funny and well respected professor, his lectures are engaging and always super interesting. Lab practicals are very hard and require a TONNN of time put into studying, but if you put the work in it will be VERY rewarding. Not an easy class, but I would still recommend taking it.

My favorite professor at UCSB! Dr. Kuris genuinely cares about students and is very passionate about invertebrates and parasites. He's very responsive to emails and is very easy to talk to during office hours. Go take EEMB 111 and 112 before he retires! The lab practicals are tough, but dissections are so fun. Amazing and funny professor.

MY GOAT

John/Prof Latto is one of the funniest professors! He often makes jokes during lecture to help students understand certain biological concepts. He also genuinely cares about helping his students learn and understand and that doesn't necessarily mean by helping you get a better grade. He keeps his lectures entertaining and very educational!!

John latto singlehandedly made me enjoy biology again! He is amusing, accessible, and awesome. Final was online, lectures were uploaded for us to watch if we cannot attend, overall he's an amazing professor!

What a king. Funny ol' Brit that really made the evolution section enjoyable. I actually looked forward to this class because even though the lectures weren't anything crazy, he made the content interesting. He provided a practice final which was very nice and quite similar in style to the actual final. Great dude, enjoyable class, fair tests!
