If you haven't taken a class with Dr. Even you should. He is every EEMB majors dream professor. Great lectures, approachable, caring, and a reasonable grader. He is one of the few professors who chose the teaching route instead of research. Also, he is department cochair so get an A and letter of rec. Stream ecology was a great class.

This was one of my favorite classes. The professor is very smart and very clear in his lectures and makes class interesting. I hate science but this class made it really fun and easy to learn. As long as you study the lecture slides which are all online you'll get an A in the class.

TAKE THIS CLASS! I've never been a huge biology fan but this class was life-changing. Professor Even is articulate, clear, and breaks down the trickier topics into easy to understand concepts. Always adds little anecdotes to the curriculum which make you remember it on the tests. Lecture slides online. Extra credit on Fridays!

Professor Even is absolutely incredible! I absolutely loved his class! He is very straight to the point for tests and makes class so interesting. By far the best class Ive taken at UCSB. If you need a science credit for GEs or if its one of your options for your major, take this class!

Hilarious professor. Keeps things frank and to the point, encourages students to start discussions and interesting debates. No midterms or final!! :)

Professor Even is one of the best lecturers I've had at UCSB. Even if you're not interested in the subject, his lectures and his style of teaching will keep your attention. I took this class during summer, and the tests were pretty comprehensive. As long as you actually pay attention and study well, you'll do good on the tests

I always thought Ecology was stupid until I took his class. Oh my god i really feel like I see the world differently now- this guy is amazing- and he's pretty easy so TAKE HIM

I LOVED this professor!! He's both an amazing teacher and is hilarious. He makes the subject so interesting. i never missed a class

Dr. Even was very knowledgeable and I really enjoyed taking this class. He made the lectures fun and interesting. I'm not really into science, but I really loved his biology class. I would definitely recommend it!!

I absolutely LOVED this class. Even does a great job of giving an in depth overview of a wide range of topics. You can tell that he knows his stuff and is excited to share it with you. He requires a lot of retained information on the tests but they are straight forward and he never tests you on the random facts. Best class at UCSB by far!

FAVORITE class at UCSB so far!!! Evens is so interesting, he brings in his own experiences and extensive knowledge!!! I didn't understand what he wanted on his tests so I didn't do as well as I hoped, but this didn't tarnish my love for this class! Read the textbook, but he doesn't test you on it, even if he says he does. Study lectures!

Fantastic Professor... Mostly basic stuff and you can get away with not attending lecture but I highly recommend going- its totally worth it. ES majors should take it for sure- easy A

Best teacher I have so far. Made class interesting and excting, as well as straight forward. A great class if you dont have a lot of interest or knowledge about science and need the GE. Highly recommend the class! Dr. Even for prez!

This man was totally awesome. His class got me totally interested and convinced me to major in Ecology and Evolution.

Superb lecturer. Even makes ecology a fun subject to learn. Ecology as a science is rather conceptual in nature, but also very intuitive. Test wasn't too bad, considering the average was a C. Highly recommend taking a course with him.

Professor Even is awesome. His lecturing style is incredibly clear and concise and he always seems interested in whatever he is saying. Great, great professor.

All I have to say is wow. Even is one of the best teachers I have had at UCSB so far and has made me so interested in the field of ecology. I really didn't think I was interested at all before. Thank you Dr. Even for making the first half of EEMB 2 so enjoayable. He is the best lecturer and I would love to have him again.

Even is extremely clear of his expectations, but Tropical Ecology is not easy! The tests are incredibly detailed and they will take points off for the tiniest nuances. However he is very reasonable and understanding if you try to get help and do well. Great professor.

I LOVED this class! The information is extremely interesting and I don't even like biology! Print out his lecture notes before class and take notes on that- it's a lot easier. You don't even have to read, just know the definitions from the book and you're good! Not going to lie, getting A's on the test are not easy but it's definitely worth taking!

I'm a non-major and I tend to hate science, but he made me love it at lease for the quarter. He makes everything SUPER interesting. Two midterms + one final is cumulative and mostly from lecture, you only use the textbook for vocab words. I'd HIGHLY recommend taking him.

Prof Evens is my favorite professor I've had so far at UCSB..I am not a bio major and I only took this class for area C, but he is amazing and the class is extremely interesting! If you attend lecture and study, you will succeed on his tests. Barely have to read textbook. A must-take class!!!

Professor Even is the best professor I've had thus far at UCSB! He is extremely passionate about what he's teaching. He's very likable and presents the material in a straightforward way. His tests make you apply what you learned but he really helps you prepare for them. He made ecology so interesting!

Even is awesome! One of the best professors in the department! Super charismatic and likable and presented material very clearly. One of the few professor's whose teaching style really grasped my attention.

clear professor, made the class interesting with good examples
