I really enjoyed Professor Carlson's section of EEMB 3. He explains everything in an easy-to-understand way. His exam was very manageable and similar to the practice exam he gave before. Go to lecture and study the slides and you'll be fine!

Such a good lecturer, he was so engaging an interested in what he was talking about. Gave a practice midterm which was helpful on the midterm BUT some questions were worded really weird but he gave back points on the questions he messed up. Study and you'll be fine.

I liked him a lot. He is clear on what he wants us to know for the test and seems passionate about what he is teaching. As long as you watch the lectures and pay attention to what he is saying while he explains his slides you will succeed. Nice professor.

Meh. Lectures are not the most interesting, and slides are not informative at all. Need to really pay attention as he's wiggling around topics making it hard to grasp. Not the worst but definitely not the best.

Lectures provided were from 2 years ago. No effort at all. Had to rate the professor when he basically was not present, and test was prepared by someone else on topics that were not covered. Lectures are boring and monotonous. The only good thing tbh was a cute dog Tyler, this guy was the only thing I was looking forward to when watching them.

He was a really sweet professor who really cares about his students. He showed us really cool videos about his dog and plants that he sees on his hikes. Informational, inspirational, and interesting. Hope he continues making them!

Prof. Carlson's portion of the class is informative and well-organized. The quizzes and exam material is pulled mostly from the lectures, with a small portion coming from assigned readings. Lecture slides are fairly detailed, so studying is pretty straightforward. The practice midterm is really helpful too.

Prof. Hodges is a really passionate, kind instructor. Lectures are detailed and reflective of exam content. CLAS and practice questions (especially from in-class quizzes) help. Organization could be better, and there is a lot of studying involved in his portion, but overall I recommend taking this class!

Professor Carlson is like a celebrity amongst my friends. He's an amazing lecturer, my favorite out of the three EEMB3 professors and is incredibly clear and interesting. He obviously cares a lot about microbes and his enthusiasm is infectious. Aside from that, hes like a literal dilf. My friend says he has "firefighter energy" and I have to agree.

Extremely boring but his lectures are organized and make sense once you review them. The exam was fair and expectations for it were clear. He also responded very promptly to emails. Can't really ask for much more.

Extremely disorganized lectures which seem to jump all over the place, but if you pay attention and take good notes you'll catch on. He provided a practice final which contained a handful of exact questions from the midterm we were graded on, which was nice. No need to even open the textbook for this entire class.

His lectures are pretty good and straightforward. The test questions are directly from lecture stuff, so there's nothing really tricky about the class. However if you have extra questions I wouldn't really recommend office hours. The answers were dry and short most of the time.

passionate lecturer, but very disorganized. his powerpoint slides are hard to follow. its difficult to study when you're just looking at diagrams from the book and blurry videos of his dog. his midterm was very generous tho.

Listen: if his lectures were more organized, he'd probably be my 2nd favorite eemb prof behind Latto. Hes so nice, so passionate, and the video bits with Tyler were really fun. I had to take really intense notes on his lectures since the slides were so bare/confusing, but maybe that was helpful? idk

Very boring lectures-great organization, but got very dull very fast. The exam on his section was relatively straightforward, but SO dense

Great professor, goes over a lot of detail but as long you take great notes you'll be fine. Shows plenty of videos of his adorable dog Tyler looking for plants. Overall great professor.

Lectures are pretty organized yet dense. He's definitely real passionate about plants and wants us to learn well. He greatly emphasizes life-cycles and phylogenetic trees so make sure to remember those! The videos of him and his dog Tyler were a nice touch lol. The midterm for his section was pretty hard though and sometimes had ambiguous wording.

Ok, so cuz of coronavirus, we're online right now, and Professor Hodges is doing great. He teaches everything in great detail and even incorporates fun little videos of his dog Tyler in nature showing us the plants we are learning about. He is so passionate about the subject and it's wonderful. Highly enthusiastic and fun guy, definitely cares.

Professor Hodges was fine, but he got behind the lecture schedule. His section was probably the hardest and most demanding of the 3. He does do iclickers that are graded for accuracy too. There's a ton of information you need to memorize in this class so it's best to review the recorded lectures since anything he says might be tested.

There's a ton of material and looking back at the recorded lectures is really helpful. His portion of the class was not my favorite, but he was still pretty engaging for an 8 am. He does do iclickers and unfortunately, the questions are usually about things you haven't discussed in lecture, but other than that, he's a solid choice.

Great professor. tests were straight forward, material was presented clearly, and goals for the class were clearly laid out.

Hodges is very enthusiastic and really cares about plants. However, the slides have almost no information on them, the material is super dense and complex, and his tests are TRICKY. His portion of the final was by far the most difficult. STUDY STUDY STUDY for his section. The other two profs of this class present the material more clearly.

His portion of the EEMB 3 final was extremely difficult and Tricky. Also, introbios grading was terrible this quarter. It seems they curved down as my grade should have been a B- but was a C+.extra credit didnt make a difference at all, iclicker points make a big impact so attend lecture.

Slides are bare bones, he's very passionate about plants but its kinda unclear what you're gonna be tested on. Be prepared to pay attention as well as self-study from the start or its really easy to get behind.
