EEMB40 . Latto J G 8 Years Ago

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).

I LOVE Dr. Even! Due to unfortunate life events I got a D in the class. I couldn't really study. HOWEVER, I can confidently say that Dr. Even is the best professor you will take here at UCSB.(That might be a little biased but IDGAF) He is the type of professor you go to a University for. He is extremely caring, a fair tester and a simply amazing!!!

Incredible professor. Really cares about teaching and very enthusiastic and funny. Know examples presented in class well and concepts and you will do well. It is not so much about memorizing as it is understanding concepts. Uses life examples and different contexts for test questions. Loved this class so much!!

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.

Dr. Even is an amazing lecturer and is extremely easy to understand. He is funny and genuinely invokes your interest in the subject matter. Although ecology was a little boring (to me) I listened and studied and got an A. Just put in the effort, go to class, and you'll get an A too.

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.

Great Professor! He makes an otherwise boring topic interesting and while attendance is not mandatory, you want to go. His test was tricky but if you go to class and actually study it should not be that difficult.

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

I loved him soooo much. Dr. Even is exactly why i went to college. I will be taking his upper divisions if not just to hear his jokes. 3 wish they were all this great.

Even is the best biology professor I've had at UCSB. He really cares about his students and gives us all the tools we need to succeed in his class. He makes lectures interesting by giving real-life examples and fun facts. At the beginning of every lecture he does a review about previous material, which is really helpful. Take his class!!

Dr. Even is the best teacher I have ever had. Lectures were so funny and interesting even though I didn't even like the subject matter. He made me appreciate ecology more. Tests were very fair - if you went to class and studied a little you'd get an easy A. If you have a chance to be in Dr. Even's class do it!

Awesome professor who tries really hard and wants his students to succeed. Go to class and print the slides and write down anything additional he says. Go to class and you will pass. Tests make you think critically and apply concepts but he prepares you well. Great professor overall.

He was awesome! He made the class even more interesting than it already was. His enthusiasm sparks a wonderful desire to learn. I loved him as a lecturer and can't wait to take a class with him again.

Best professor I've ever had by far, best class I've taken in college thus far. He's incredibly knowledgable, passionate, and explains everything very clearly. He tells you exactly what to expect and never tries to trick on tests. The lectures are super interesting and he's really funny and charismatic so you're captivated the entire time.

His lectures are extremely clear and interesting. He can be amusing at times. His midterm is moderate in difficulty. He provides alot of help with his computation sets and iclicker questions.

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

Out of all the professors that Bio majors usually have during Winter Quarter, Even will by far be the easiest and best one you will have. He's a great guy, his lecture slides are clear, and the exam was fair. Don't put off studying until the last minute though, his tests are not a walk in the park.

EEMB168 . Latto J G 9 Years Ago

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.
