This man is by far the best teacher Ive had in this department. His lectures are taught with such enthusiasm, that you cant help but what to learn. He truly cares about you excelling in his class, so take advantage of all the resources he posts. He posts his past midterms, which were the practice problems that probably helped me the most.

Low is such a gem! He truly loves what he teaches which makes class exciting and enjoyable. Do all the reader problems and ask questions and the tests will be fine. He tells you exactly what to study and what to expect for his exams. He is very accessible outside of class for office hours as well.

Amazing guy! Low really cares about his students and truly wants the best for everyone. However, I found that lectures were confusing in the way that the slides and information was presented. If you work for the class you will succeed, do the practice problems. The material is very interesting!

One of the best professors at UCSB. Very funny lectures and tests are straight forward as long as you do the practice problems. Wants all students to succeed and he focuses his lectures on important concepts so you have a pretty useful bacterial genetics foundation on leaving his class (not just trivial information)

David is a great guy. His lectures can be a bit scattered but if you email him he will help you and even cover the material again in lecture because he wants everyone to understand and succeed. Hes brilliant but not condescending and you can tell he cares more about teaching than he does about research event though he gets millions in grant money

Dr. Low is a brilliant and passionate researcher and teacher. His sense of humor shines through in his engaging (and recorded) lectures and the compassion expressed for students' grade anxiety raises him above any other MCDB professor I have had as of yet. The resources provided make the textbook supplementary, and exams are very straightforward.
