I really enjoyed Professor Carlson's section of EEMB 3. He explains everything in an easy-to-understand way. His exam was very manageable and similar to the practice exam he gave before. Go to lecture and study the slides and you'll be fine!

Such a good lecturer, he was so engaging an interested in what he was talking about. Gave a practice midterm which was helpful on the midterm BUT some questions were worded really weird but he gave back points on the questions he messed up. Study and you'll be fine.

I liked him a lot. He is clear on what he wants us to know for the test and seems passionate about what he is teaching. As long as you watch the lectures and pay attention to what he is saying while he explains his slides you will succeed. Nice professor.

Meh. Lectures are not the most interesting, and slides are not informative at all. Need to really pay attention as he's wiggling around topics making it hard to grasp. Not the worst but definitely not the best.

Prof. Carlson's portion of the class is informative and well-organized. The quizzes and exam material is pulled mostly from the lectures, with a small portion coming from assigned readings. Lecture slides are fairly detailed, so studying is pretty straightforward. The practice midterm is really helpful too.

Professor Carlson is like a celebrity amongst my friends. He's an amazing lecturer, my favorite out of the three EEMB3 professors and is incredibly clear and interesting. He obviously cares a lot about microbes and his enthusiasm is infectious. Aside from that, hes like a literal dilf. My friend says he has "firefighter energy" and I have to agree.

Extremely boring but his lectures are organized and make sense once you review them. The exam was fair and expectations for it were clear. He also responded very promptly to emails. Can't really ask for much more.

His lectures are pretty good and straightforward. The test questions are directly from lecture stuff, so there's nothing really tricky about the class. However if you have extra questions I wouldn't really recommend office hours. The answers were dry and short most of the time.

Very boring lectures-great organization, but got very dull very fast. The exam on his section was relatively straightforward, but SO dense

There's a ton of material and looking back at the recorded lectures is really helpful. His portion of the class was not my favorite, but he was still pretty engaging for an 8 am. He does do iclickers and unfortunately, the questions are usually about things you haven't discussed in lecture, but other than that, he's a solid choice.

Carlson taught microbiology section for EEMB 3. Lectures were cool but had a lot of content and kind of dragged on. Tests were overall straightforward but still fair amount of questions that were worded weird/tried to trip you up. He is a pretty ok professor, as long as you pay attention and study notes you will be fine.
