Professor Even's lectures are engaging and he clearly cares about his students' success. Prepping with unstuckstudy and the free textbook should help you ace his challenging but fair exams.

His lectures are very detailed and easy to understand. The way he formats the class though feels like it can be a lot of work sometimes, and the time limit for quizzes and the tests can be intimidating. There are quite a few things due each week but it wasn't bad. His exams are hard but if you study and really understand, you should be fine!

Dr. Even is just amazing. His style of teaching is unmatched and is probably the most informative and engaging way for students to learn. His midterms are extremely fair and considering the means for both midterms were above 80%, you can tell his teaching is effective and grading is fair. love him and his bald head.

Professor Even is awesome!! His lectures were clear and he explained everything so well. He is obviously very passionate about his work. His exam was online but still challenging so preparing is definitely still necessary. However, if you study, you'll be totally fine.

Havent even talked his midterm yet but literally just wanted to say hes best lecturer ive ever had this school by far and maybe throughout all of my education my entire life. Dude is so into and understands what he is teaching so well its so interesting

this class was not enjoyable for me as a gen bio major who isn't invested in aquatic communities at all. but that being said, i think the exams get easier when you pay attention to the hints given in the review sessions. i got kinda reamed but it got better once i adjusted to the exam style. prepare to memorize details yet apply concepts.

Prof Even is extremely organized and the material is really easy to cover in your own time. His lectures are really entertaining. Material is not hard if you took science classes in HS. Tests are very reasonable. I didn't have to read the book to do well. Great Area C for a Humanities Student!!!!

he is such an amazing lecturer and his classes are so engaging! attendance not required (aside from section) since lectures were recorded, but lectures are so interactive and he does a mini review session at the start of each one that is not always recorded that contains basically everything on the exams. unironically the best prof at UCSB.

I took his class online over a summer session and thought that he was a very good lecturer. Lectures were interesting and engaging and he made it very clear what we needed to know for exams. Tests were online, so I think that it would be harder if they were in person, but overall he is a great professor and cares that you know the material.

I got mixed feelings about Dr. Even. On one hand he's incredibly passionate about teaching and it rlly shows in his lectures. On top of that it is apparent that he truly cares about his students and is capable of the utmost compassion. One tip: Dr. Even constantly emphasizes not memorizing and going for a more conceptual studying style but MEMORIZE

Even's portion was great. Extremely lecture heavy, but follow along with the lecture and you'll do great. I goofed the first test bad and paid the price with it on my grade, but his test was super manageable and fair. He is accessible in office hours and had great encouragement and confidence boosting by helping you with what you need.

Nothing to study, horrible long boring lectures, not funny at all, doesn't follow the text well, disorganized, does not prepare students, grade 100% dependent on exams, useless lectures, grade up to luck, one of the worst people I had the misfortune of listening to.
