prof. even is awesome. he's really funny and cool and a great lecturer. he really explains the material well that is why you should attend lecture. he does put the slides online but its much easier to understand when he explains it. definitely take a class from him

He's a great lecturer. Not only is he hilarious, but he has the oh so rare gift of actually being able to teach. And he looks like Kevin Spacey- SHWING!

By far the best professor I've had in my academic career. I am not a science person by any means and he really brings the course to life. He is clear, without being condescending, and his lectures were always fun and interesting. This was my only class on Fridays and I went every week out of sheer love for the class.

The best teacher I've ever had. He is hilarious! At times I forgot whether I had stepped into a college ecology class or a stand up comedy routine. I actually looked forward to going to class.

Professor Even is one of the best teachers at this school. He is so much fun. Makes the class fun and interesting and really easy to get. I loved the class.

Dr. Even makes the class fun to attend. Is also really funny.

This teacher is the best teacher UCSB has by far...you actually have fun in this class,stay awake, and learn. This class is the full package all you have to do is go to the lecture imean c'mon the discussion class is harder than the lecture....piece of apple pie!

so funny! he is a great professor and the midterm was super fair

Everything on the test comes from the slides. One of the best teachers at UCSB i've taken thus far. he's very entertaining, so it's easy to stay awake. don't read the text. he tells you that you don't have to read it, it's only to suppliment the material. just pretty much memorize the slides!

Even is the sh***. He gets paid as a lecturer, not a researcher so he can actually teach... unlike some of the professors here. He's really entertaining, FUNNY, nice, and a great guy overall! He can be teaching a class on the biology of dirt and it'd be interesting! He'll be one of your faves in the bio series, i gaurantee it.

Simply amazing. I actually considered changing my major to ecology because of this guy. He makes what is normally dry, seeminging pointless material sound interesting and important. One of my favorite profs ever

Not at all interested in taking this class, but quickly became my favorite class. He keeps you interested in the lectures and makes it entertaining. Can't really ask more from a professor. You don't need the book. Study the slides and the test will be simple. Awesome professor: teaches you the material in a bearable manner. I highly recommend it.

Even is an amazing professor. He makes biology, even the branches of biology that I originally had no interest in, seem so much more fascinating. He makes the subject matter come alive. I came away from each of his lectures feeling that I had learned a lot and had spent my time well.

Usually it's hard for me to actually attend EVERY lecture of a class, but it was not the case for EEMB2/ 3. Prof. Even IS defintely one of the best professors i've had here in UCSB. Not only does he make class fun, his style of teaching actually helps you retain some of the dry materials needed to be taught. Take him and you won't regret it. :)

This prof. and class was awesome! It not only is interesting, but it is easy and fun too! He is hilarious and tells priceless stories so you should definitely go to class. The book is pointless to read but you should read the reader (which is interesting anyway). Highly recommended!

BEST Biology teacher ever, I was dreading taking this class because I am not a science person and it ended up being my favorite class of the quarter and he is one of the best teachers i have ever had, I highly recommend this class, perfect for the GE requirement

loved him

great prof! tells great stories and class is pretty easy if u go to lecture

Great professor! Go to class and you dont have to read anything. He gives you the exact pages to read and focus on. Review last years midterm (if you know some one who has had him). Its very similiar. DR EVEN ROCKS!

best bio professor on campus

awesome

well...being that i am my stupidest in science, this class was so hard. so hard to the point where that i am retaking it to get rid of my F. yeah, if you sucked at bio in high school, do not take this class. it's not "easy bio" like my friend told me, it's just "easier" than what the bio majors take. still way hard. however, he is a cool teacher.

Hilarious! Also makes things very clear. Great professor!

so interesting. He was able to relate the information to everyday life. Class was good and so was the professor. I read the entire reader because it was so interesting!! And he is hot.
