Incredibly talented professor. Enjoyed going to lecture and section. Take a class with him if you can, you will not regret it!

Really interesting class and awesome professor. He posts his slides online but most of your notes will come from his actual lecture so make sure you attend class. Midterm and Final weren't bad at all, but make sure you attend section.

I'm no science person but I plan to take another class with him. He's funny and his lectures are amazing( the accent helps). Midterm final and section make up your grade but it's an easy GE. He teaches you things that you SHOULD know. There is no textbook so you gotta show up but it was never a problem making it to class

Tyler's lectures were amazing. Test averages are very high, and she wants it that way. You will only be tested from the summary slides. She also holds review sessions before each test. Attendance is optional, but her lectures are great. She wants students to do well. If you put in the tiniest amount of effort, you will get an A.

Latto is extremely funny and passionate about his work. The lectures were fun to attend and the actual content was very interesting. The tests are mostly memorization of terms and really only require a basic grasp of the concepts. No textbook required.

Claudia is very kind and easy to talk to. Her lectures are somewhat interesting and straight from the textbook. Before each exam, she will post a list of topics that you should know. Tests are on the easy side, like the kind you can study for the night before.

Latto is very passionate about diseases and ecology. He made the class interesting and engaging. Doesn't posts lectures online. No study guide but as long as you study the diseases and the notes from class, you're fine. Must memorize definitions of the terms and of diseases and what they do. Not cumulative for each test. One midterm and one final.

EEMB40 is a lot of memorization, but for me it was so interesting that it wasn't even really hard to memorize. John Latto is a great lecturer and every lecture is super entertaining. He is also a fair grader and tells you the layouts of the midterm/test so you're more than ready for it. Go to class, take good notes, and you'll be fine.

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 professor's I've ever had. He is very passionate about what he teaches, cares a ton for his students, and all his lectures are super interesting. Basically study a day or two before the tests and you're good, and they are all super easy and straight forward. There's no textbook and all slides are online.

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).

He is an excellent professor that is passionate about the work. His tests are very specific and don't have any curve balls. Its pretty much if you show up and take notes you'll pass but you'll need to briefly look over them for the final. Its honestly an easy A. lectures are not boring and all of the information is quite entertaining and useful.

Great professor with a lot of humor! He has lots of enthusiasm about the material he teaches and comes to lecture prepared. I liked how he doesn't just read off the powerpoint and actually tries to talk to his students about the subject. HOWEVER I had a terrible TA who did know her materials and came to section unprepared.

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

Whether you have taken the bio series or not, the course material is easy to understand and uncomplicated. Her lectures are fundamental (and a touch boring), but sections were fun! Tyler's assignments were simple and hands on. Take interest in the subjects, study a little, and this class will be a breeze for you. She really cares about her students

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

Definitely one of the best professors on campus! If you have the opportunity, take her ES100 class. She is so adorable and her class is fairly easy! The material and labs are very interesting. I definitely enjoyed this class :)

Great class! I really love Latto he's one of my favorite professors at UCSB I although I enjoyed EEMB 50 more just because it's more relevant both of his classes were amazing. Pretty straight forward and stimulating curriculum. PowerPoints used but you'll mainly be tested on what he SAYS in lecture. Class based on vocab and concepts

boring hard

Tyler is so supportive and the material is really interesting, but you have probably already learned some of it in another class. Don't buy the textbook. She tests straight from the summery slides at the end of each lecture.

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.

Claudia's the best. She's a sweet mother-like figure who's crazy passionate about nature & wants her students to succeed! She's all about being in the field, so we had a few sections on the beach. Super easy class, don't need the textbook, but go to lecture cuz it's interesting. Fun to talk with, she has office hours at Caje :)

Professor Tyler is probably one of the sweetest teachers I have ever had. She is such a kind person and truly cares about the success of her students! If you're struggling, she will gladly help you out. Great prof :)

I definitely recommend taking from Latto. His lectures are so informative and interesting and the class is very fair and easy to do well in if you study/attend lecture. He's a great guy, funny and super helpful.
