Professor Latto is a really great lecturer. He makes jokes and is engaging. I didn't always go to lecture and did fine, but I would highly recommend attending as it makes it easier. There were quizzes every section, as well as weekly reading, but it is all relatively easy. 1 Midterm & 1 Final, as usual.

Amazing professor teaching super interesting material, what more could you want? The entire grade is based on one midterm, the final and weekly quizzes in section but it's all really easy. No textbook and powerpoints are sparse so attendance is a must, but lectures are entertaining so it's fine.

Well- planned content, excellent lecture which makes the course more interesting.

too much work! should be worth way more than 1 unit!!!!!!!!

She has written down on the course policies that she gives makeup exams but she doesn't. Says you can contest your grade but when I complained about a grading mistake on my practical (and I'm 100% sure), the staff refused to fix it. Reuses questions she threw out other quarters because 1/2 students got another very close answer.

negligent, incompetent, disorganized, lazy

Several videos to watch in order to take a weekly quiz, reading the lab manual before lab, a ridiculous amount of questions in the manual that you need to answer, two practicals, and a fat research project without ANY guidance and sources that hardly make sense or cover necessary material. Good luck!

Trust me, too much work for 1 unit class. Lab manual is so unorganized

I'm going to come off as so extra but I swear, this is most disorganized class that I've ever taken w the most disorganized lab manual that I've ever read. The lab manual constantly has conflicting information in it, is written out of order, is so grammatically incorrect and vague, etc. yet we are graded on our knowledge of extremely specific info

A true gem of a professor. He made EEMB a breeze, and his lectures were the most entertaining I have seen at UCSB. Incredible professor who clearly takes time and effort into pushing his students in the right direction. His stories were memorable, and helps my recall of the class even after I no longer need most of the material.

He's really knowledgable about the subject and has a passion for teaching. He talks more indepth in lecture than just off the slides so go to lecture if you want to do well. Although his exam questions ask for way too much imo and I barely finish in time & my hand is dead afterwards. He wants everyone to do well so class and really cares about you.

Super interesting lectures! There are only a few quizzes, midterm and final, which are straight-forward if you take good notes. This course is absolutely amazing and interesting. Must attend lectures! Would highly recommend taking his class, you can learn so much from it.

AMAZING LECTURES! I loved this class so much and would want to listen to him talk more about infectious diseases even after he finished lecturing. Few quizzes, midterm and final, which are straight-forward if you take good notes. Lectures are absolutely amazing and interesting. Must attend lectures! Would highly recommend taking his class!

My favorite professor!! I have taken two of his classes and both are easy if you just show up and he makes the class interesting. He puts all of his slides online, but you should still go to class because they have minimal information. Your grade is based on the midterm and final (multiple, vocab, frq) and 4 point quizzes given during section.

Dr. Even is THE BEST PROFESSOR. He is extremely enthusiastic about his subject specialty and makes lectures a joy to come to. He sets you up for SUCCESS. Everything he puts in his powerpoints are crucial to know. I wish every professor was like him. Go to CLAS tutoring! *beware... do well on his portion of the class because Dr. Rice is a menace*

Dr. Even is the best biology professor I've had at UCSB! He has a lot of passion in the subject matter and it shows in his lectures. His powerpoints do not have much info on them and he gives most of the details in class. His exams are pretty long (5 pages mostly short answer) but doable. I highly recommend you take any of his classes.

super awesome professor! class is straightforward and entertaining. tests (2) weren't hard but quizzes (5, 1 dropped) were sometimes confusing/vague. would definitely recommend this professor and this class! (also has occasional jokes and an entertaining accent) also, very little to no reading (for discussion, reading isn't on tests)

EEMB50 with Latto was awesome. The material was always interesting and he's great at explaining difficult concepts. At times this class can feel like a physiology class though. One midterm and final that were straightforward and easy as long as you studied and went to lecture. About 5 quizzes in section. Take this class!!!

Love him. Such a great lecturer. Tests not that hard but you definitely need to study. Never used the textbook, just rewatched the lectures posted online and took notes.

An amazing professor. I found his lectures to be pretty interesting, and he definitely made the class more enjoyable. Make sure to pay attention during lecture and really understand how to apply the concepts you learn in class (specific examples, visualize the data).

Funny and passionate professor. No textbook so lecture is essential. Around 5 quizzes in section. The material is interesting, explained well, and applicable outside class. As long as you pay attention in lecture and study prior you should be able to get an A. Would 100% recommend this class for a GE or otherwise. One of my favorite classes here.

This guy is a dope professor. Even though this class is a mandatory prereq, it could have been way worse if it was taught by anybody else. His lectures are super entertaining. Kind of a bummer he only teaches half of the class.

Objectively graded class, no curve or very low curve. Make a good connection with your TA because they grade your paper that is worth about 20% of your grade. Do all the pre-labs and labs on time, these are the easy points. 1 unit class, but if you want to get a good grade, study hard for the practicals.

I had Professor Latto last year, and took this course so I could have him again. Going to class is vital because there is no textbook so all of his test questions are based off lecture material. Final is 45%, midterm is 30%, and section is 25%. Section grade partially depends on 5 quizzes. A lot of content but it's fascinating and presented well!
