Super nice professor! He's very considerate of his students and wants you to succeed. Clearly passionate about his teaching. Low-stakes grading with weekly quizzes that are open note and recorded lectures

Latto is one of the best professors I have had at UCSB in a STEM class!! He very obviously cares about his students and wants to see us succeed. His lectures are interesting and funny. He sets you up for success with his exams as he gives plenty of study materials. I really appreciate how he really interacts with us like we're humans.

John/Prof Latto is one of the funniest professors! He often makes jokes during lecture to help students understand certain biological concepts. He also genuinely cares about helping his students learn and understand and that doesn't necessarily mean by helping you get a better grade. He keeps his lectures entertaining and very educational!!

John latto singlehandedly made me enjoy biology again! He is amusing, accessible, and awesome. Final was online, lectures were uploaded for us to watch if we cannot attend, overall he's an amazing professor!

What a king. Funny ol' Brit that really made the evolution section enjoyable. I actually looked forward to this class because even though the lectures weren't anything crazy, he made the content interesting. He provided a practice final which was very nice and quite similar in style to the actual final. Great dude, enjoyable class, fair tests!

I loved this class! There were no required readings, and you could really tell that the professor knows his stuff. The only assignments were short, online quizzes each week and the occasional discussion post. I would definitely recommend for an easy GE.

Easiest class and professor ever! Lectures are in-person and posted online along with annotated slides for help with note-taking. The only graded assignments are weekly quizzes on gauchospace (open note and 2 attempts!). No midterm and the final was online and open-note MC. He's super passionate about the class and the material and I learned a lot!

Such a nice professor, you can tell he cares about making the class both interesting and educational. Interesting lectures and has a good sense of humor so you're not bored waiting for class to end. He even asks for feedback at the end of the class about quiz questions and fairness. I would definitely take another one of his classes.
