i LOVED Latto! The material was extremely interesting and he made it easy to understand. To prepare for the midterm and final I just read through my notes and aced both. One of my favorite classes!

I was so glad that someone recommended EEMB40 to me. All of the material covered was applicable to the real world and Professor Latto made every lecture fun and entertaining. He made me want to become an epidemiologist. I highly recommend him and this course.

John is a very good lecturer. The material was almost always interesting, with a few boring lectures here and there. This class was very easy, most of the grade was based off the midterm and the final. I finished the final in 30 minutes and got an A. Overall, this is a great course, provided that you are even remotely interested in the subject.

My favorite professor at UCSB. Extremely entertaining and knowledgeable. Take EEMB40 at all costs!!!

professor latto is amazing. this class has been easily my favorite so far at UCSB. it was recommended to me by a friend and I have recommended to all my friends in turn. VERY interesting and tests aren't hard at all if you go to lecture, which isn't a big deal, because lecture is interesting anyways. he is genuine, funny, and easy to talk to.

He previously taught at UC Berkeley, but moved to UCSB because he likes the students better - and it SHOWS. Hilarious, interesting, and extremely knowledgeable. Class was FUN to go to, and I never wanted to miss lectures. The book is more auxiliary reading than anything else, as most of the material comes from class.
