Anna is by far the kindest and best teacher I've had at UCSB. She is so dedicated to her students and goes above and beyond to help them in any way she can. She is an amazing mentor, and I would 100% take classes from her again in the future. She is the best person ever and a great teacher! I highly recommend taking a class from Anna James!

quarter not even over, i just wanna say anna james is the goat

Very helpful class, recommend taking if a bio major.

James is the goat. Small EEMB3 with James is WAY easier than big. Lectures are participation heavy, but it's worth it. Her lectures are interesting, and her exams are based exactly on what you talk about. Also take this class if you're also taking ochem, because it'll give you more time to study that. James is also easily accessible outside class.

Such an amazing professor and person all around, she cares so much for her students. This class helped me so much in guiding me as a biology major this first year, and Anna could not have been more supportive in that journey. No homework, and even got donuts at the end of the quarter! Could not recommend more to any first year bio student.

This class was really easy for a biology class, which was honestly a good break from some of the other harder intro bio classes. It's not really helpful if you are actually interested in learning more about ecology/evolution. But, James is always upbeat, lenient, and willing to talk to you about biology after class/during office hours.
