He was a good/ terrible teacher. This class was half online so we had class once a week. Super disorganized labs, didn't learn too much. Easy A, though.
Not very helpful
There was a ton of homework, but since half the class was online, I expected that. Reading the chapters is essential to passing the class since the professor had a tendency to go off on tangents during the lectures. Labs were kind of disorganized, but they were an easy way to bump your grade since we didn't do lab reports and the prelabs were easy.
Professor Deb is amazing! When I mean amazing I mean it. He is vary fair and really looks at all the effort students put into his class. He gives Great detail on his lectures making them more understandable! Tests are challenging but there is not a single question he does not go over with in the class. If you follow along you wont get lost, helpful
Professor Deb is very knowledgable. He's committed to the success of his students. At times there can be a language barrier but he wants you to benefit from the knowledge. He pays attention to each of his students and grades fairly. Yes, he can be disorganized at times. Overall a good experience and I would take him again.
Professor Deb prepares you for the real world, he makes his lectures crystal clear. He makes sure you learn things the right way and are highly qualified to do the work properly in your field.
This professor really wants you to learn, he will help you get the grade that you want. He is flexible and tries his best to help you understand. You will get what you put into the class. Show up, do the homework and you should be fine
Dr. Deb's biggest request is to show up to class and not expect anything to just be handed to you. If you put in the work, he will make sure you do well. He wants each student to learn something to be prepared for the real world. Most answers to questions will need to be answered after class.
Professor Deb was very helpful and really pushed me to work harder. He cares about his students even after taking his class he remembers his students and wants to keep up with your progress and help in any way.
He is willing to help students with no problem, he wants the students to make sure they get the material in a respectful way. I enjoyed this course although he gives homework it's very helpful for the tests and quizzes. He wants students to succeed in the class and willing to help you get there, but as a student you need to put in some work.
Prof Deb is a very good and helpful person. The class was hybrid in that, we met once a week. He didn't miss any class. Be ready not to miss coz all of them are very essential. He makes you understand very difficult concepts. He made me capture Calvin cycle and protein synthesis very well. He always reminds u that America is full of oppotunities
He is a great teacher. He makes sure you understand everything and is there for you if you need him. If you really want to learn you won't have any problem in his class.
Lots of reading and note taking.
A great professor, I'd follow him anywhere!
Great teacher he is very helpful, really knows the subject, honest and also gives you a chance to improve your grade I would take him again without a doubt .Exams and quizzes are based on his lectures .Definitely recommended !!!
THis professor really cares that you learn something in his class and he is always offering help.
Great teacher! He takes his time to help if you are behind. He also wants you to learn the importance of living a healthy life style and how connects details in regard to biology. Would 100% recommend him as a teacher!
He is a great teacher that cares about his students future career
This class was very challenging. I learned a lot. The professor was very supportive and cared a lot about making the class accessible for the students.
He is a really good professor, he cares about the student understanding the material and doing well in his class. I would take his future classes. He takes time explaining and showing students the material.
Very motivational teacher with an incredible depth of understanding of the subject he teaches. If you really want to learn take a class with this professor.
Truely cares about his students and give plenty of extra credit. If you want to get a good grade in this class and are willing to do the work, you will have a lot of opportunity to get the grade you want. I took the hybrid online/classroom course and there was a lot of online work. But I really learned a lot from Dr. Deb.
As a non-medical major, I learned a lot from Professor Dilip. His course work is some-what average but his willing to work with you before or after class. I strongly recommend you to talk to him if you are confuse on any of the course work or any problems you are having!! His lectures are the best n his jokes!! His an amazing teacher!!
Dr. Deb is a great teacher. He is very inspiring and shows that he actually cares about his students. This is a tough class if you do not show or try, however, showing up and putting forth effort will get you a good grade in this class.
Nice teacher
ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSOR'S I HAVE EVER HAD. AMAZINGLY HARDWORKING AND CARES FOR HIS STUDENTS EDUCATION. HE ALSO IS VERY UNDERSTANDING AND WILL WORK WITH YOU IN ANYWAY HE CANS. LOVED HIS CLASS, BUT WOULDN'T MISS A LECTURE FOR ANY REASON. YES, THERE IS A LOT OF HOMEWORK FOR THE CLASS BUT WILL LEARN A WHOLE LOT MORE.
I took Dr. Deb's hybrid BIO 121 class. There's definitely a lot of online homework, but that's the point of a hybrid class. Dr. Deb cares so much about his students and their education. He gives you EVERY chance to do well in the class, including extra credit and study guides. He really wants you to learn and succeed; you just have to try.
He encourages you to complete assignments and to thoroughly read for lecture.
Dr. Deb gives his students ample opportunities to acquire additional credits. He teaches by applying daily life examples to his lectures. He works with you if you have difficulties with the materials or need clarifications. As this is a hybrid class, be prepared to study on your own to keep up with the materials and the lectures.
Dr. Deb wants everyone to do there best. When it's time for a test he reviews in class, blackboard collaborate, and handouts. He makes sure that he is avaliable and responds fast to email. Theremony is a lot of homework being it was hybrid, but it is helpfull and manageable, even with working fulltime and taking other classes.
By far one of the most respected and intelligent professors. Encourages students to ask questions and participate. Wants students to succeed, but makes it that students work hard to reach their goals and pass for themselves. However, he is always available to answer questions or help when needed. Wish I could take another class with Dr. Deb!!
Dr. Deb wants students to get the most out of lecture and succeed. He is willing to help whenever someone is struggling and heavy encourages participation.
Dr. Deb was a great professor who truly cares about all his students. He is a professor who truly wants ll his students to learn and to be successful. He gives alot of homework but only because he wants you to learn. Also,he can be funny at times!
Deb does NOT know the meaning of UNEXPECTED family hardships even if u confide in him, he acts as though u are lying. Does not care if u are trying your BEST. He needs 2 understand life in AMERICA has unforeseen circumstances. CLAIMS he cares for u academically Then post derogatory remarks to advisor. VERY heavy accent, he gets an F. TERRIBLE!!!
Professor Dilip, is very encouraging and will push you to do your best. This is the class to take if you are serious about your educational endeavors. One thing is for sure you will learn. Be on time and be responsible with your work and you will be fine.
Dr Deb is not the average teacher and I say this in a good way. In college you have professors who only care to receive a pay check. In Dr Deb's case, he truly cares about your future from an educational standpoint along with your career path. He does his very best at motivating students. STUDY AND STUDY MORE Great teachers care about your future
Great professor who actually teaches the subject.
Be prepared to stay the ENTIRE class period! prof. Deb very much want you to learn, take time to read the book and to study, he stresses that pretty much every class period. He makes it known that his class is difficult at the start of thr smemster. if you want to pass i HIGHLY suggest reviewing ALL the study guides a few times; they are LONG!
Prof Dilip was phenomenal when it came to engaging and teaching us Biology. He made sure we understood and if not, he would stop class to help the student understand the material. At the end of each class, he gave us inspirational speeches on life and working hard. Make sure to read before each class, write the def. & engage in class!
Professor Deb has a real desire to help students, not only in the class, but to prepare for their future careers. He is always sure to relate the class material to real life scenarios to demonstrate its importance. He is extremely fair in grading, and rewards those who make an effort to learn and improve in his class.
I love Dr. Dep he is an amazing professor. You actually learned in his class. I would take his class again if I could.
His professor is extremely unorganized and unprofessional. He won't listen to your words and will interrupt you mid question or sentence. He changed his grading system half way through the course so it made the situation harder. He doesn't give study guides and isn't clear on what will be on exams. Never again ever ever ever again.
I absolutely adored this professor. By far the best class I have ever taken with the best instructor I have ever gotten. Anyone who has given him a bad review probably expected college to be like middle school. He was more than fair with extra credit. All you had to do was READ the chapter to get an A.
Dr. Deb is a great instructor. His class was extremely fair. Lectures were interesting and straight forward. He related them to our everyday lives for easier understanding. The exam came from both lectures and text book. Very fair and honest instructor. Really enjoyed the class. Very encouraging!!!! I learned a lot. Read the text book.
Dr. Deb is a wonderful teacher and would take again. He makes sure you understand the topics and if you don't, he is willing to help you as much as possible. I will never forget his saying, "study nicely" and makes sure that you are on track with your assignments and labs. You can always reach him if you need something for class.
By far the best prof. I have ever had. His lectures cut straight to the point and tells you exactly what you need to know for his exams, your study guide is his power points ,study nicely b/c his exams are challenging. over all he has amazing humor and will give u inspiration on your future, which helped me a lot, also a lot of e.c!I will miss him!
I learned a lot in Dr. Deb's class. He makes good analogies when teaching biology to make it memorable. Anyone who is serious about taking his class will easily pass. The tests are based on his lectures, so attendance is important. We were able to make up work and extra credit is offered as well. He can be funny too!
He is a great professor, understand?! You must be ready to study, but if you do you will pass.
Dont be afraid to ask for help when needed because he is definitely willing to give extra help! Dont be rude with cell phones or content other than class notes or slides on laptops. Accent is a little hard to understand at first but it gets better with time! This teacher really cares! Must put in a good effort for a good grade!
Professor Deb is a great teacher that explains very well and can inspire you to be interested in biology and he also gives you a real life examples of how you can use your knowledge in real life!)) He is one of the best professors that I have ever had, he is good at explaining difficult terms, using his own words so we can understand it better.
Dr. Deb is passionate about subject matter and teaches well. He will guide you and motivate you to read, learn, and achieve competent mark. He encourages you to ask questions and to actively participate in class. Dr. Deb cares about his students growth and success. He will actively engage you in class participation so read and prepare well.
Dr. Deb is enthusiastic and likes using analogies while teaching which helps. Just pay attention in class, take notes, participate, ask questions, study the powerpoints, and everything should be ok. He gives as many materials he can to help you succeed in class. Dr. Deb cares about your future success and is willing to help you in any way.
Dr. Deb is an amazing professor. I highly recommend his class. He does a great job with conveying the material and making complicated material clear and very understandable. I really enjoyed taking his class, and he inspires students to work diligently and learn the material. His exams and quizzes are fairly tough but doable if you study and learn.
Professor Deb, is a really nice professor who wants and helps you pass his class. He is specific with his class expectations, and as long as you do all your homework on time, you should have no reason to fail his class.
In all honesty if you do not prepare yourself and put in the work then this class will be difficult for you. Deb is a great professor, he gives you many opportunities to increase your grades as long as you complete your homework in time and participate in class. The homework isn't bad at all, you just have to keep up with it. I recommend!
Take the class, do the work and you will pass. You have to be there EVERYDAY in order to get participation points because each point matters. Work hard and make sure you communicate. This class has so much to learn from and he is very understanding.
At first, I had impression that he was rude because of how aggressive he talks... but he wants the absolute best for the student and it's so genuine! He is passionate about Science and wants you to be as well, he know his stuff. Also he will give you many opportunities to increase your grade. The only con is how time consuming this class is
Professor Deb is highly invested in his students learning. Gives great lectures that tie to real life. I learned so much in his class. Highly recommend
I took Dr. Deb for BIO 121 over the summer. It was a hybrid course and was extremely fast paced. At the first class period he made it clear that we would have to keep up with the work as it was going to be homework and lab heavy. If you put in the work and maintain open communication, you will pass. Also extra credit is given for going for tutoring
Professor Deb is seriously the best. I always hated science (I am not a science major) and was not looking forward to this course but ended up loving it and learning a lot. He's pretty funny and cares about his students. The work was pretty easy and labs are chill. Online hw drags (my course was hybrid). The book isn't needed either.
Dr. Deb ensured that your grade was earned and not given. You had to be in class and complete assignments by the due dates. Class participation was a must and he assured everyone was engaging in class by asking targeted questions. You should keep up with lab reports. Ask all the questions you need, he will break things down for you. Caring.
Great Teacher, he cares about his students and will work with you.
Dr. Dep is an amazing professor, I took him last semester for Bio 121. He actually takes time to make sure you understand the course, and if you don't understand something hell repeat himself to make sure you understand it. Professor Dep makes the class entertaining and exciting to take. I learned a lot in Biology thanks to Dr. Dep last semester f
I really enjoyed this class. Professor Dep is very approachable and truly wants all of his students to pass and get a good grade, however you must do the work in order to pass. If you take time to complete all assignments and study you can get a good grade. Participation is a must during lecture and lab.
Professor Deb Dilib cares about his students and makes sure you understand the material. He gives lots of labs and homework which helps understand the material. He also gives a lot chances for students to complete homework which a lot of students took advantage of that. Gives lots of extra credit. The studies also help with test and quizzes. Easy A
Dr Dilip is an inspirational professor. Teaches from the heart and explains lectures with accuracy. To be able to teach the course without just reading the PowerPoints, to educate us and communicate clearly the course and chapters, besides the homework and quizzes taken. Dr Dilip has what it takes for us the students to actually learn.
Professor Deb is pretty laid back. I took him online and pretty much all you have to do is show up for lectures and complete the online work. The work is hard. He does expect you to participate in class and will call you out to the front of the class. I chose to take him for Bio 121 and will be in his class again for Microbio. Do the work and pass.
Dr. Deb Dilip is a excellent Professor. He really cares about his students learning the material from the lectures. He gives lots of homework, quizzes, discussions topics on brightspace and lab reports. He forces you to learn the material, which I learn quite a few things from this course. He also gives students many chances to turn in assignments
Dr. Deb is a great professor. He relates topics to daily living. He is willing to help each student learn, but you have to be willing to work and study hard. He genuinely wants each student to succeed. In a time of uncertainty and struggle, he is patient and kind. Do the work, and you can pass the class.
Dr. Deb was my first professor at CCC. I was returning to the classroom after 6 years and was initially intimidated by him. What I came to realize is that Dr. Deb believes in his students, so he pushes you. He believes in you, when you may be the one who is doubtful. Without his support and commitment to my success, I would not be where I am today.
Dr. Dilip made this class less hard and he's a great professor. Yes, there is a lot of assignments and close due dates, but the lectures really help. He is lenient when it comes to late assignments or personal issues, especially during these times. He does what he can to help us pass the class, and you do have to participate in class a lot too.
Dilip Deb is one of my best Professor, he seems rude but actually he is not you need to know and understand him, he always find the easiest way to help his students to study and understand by adding some little YouTube video, he is so patient and ready to answer your questions anytime. I hope he could be my microbiology teacher this summer.
Professor Deb makes biology relatable. He is always offering to help you. He is very understand and makes class enjoyable. I would definitely recommend him for Bio.
Dr. Deb was a great professor the lectures are hard a lot of information but if you don't understand he has no problem reviewing. Has a little accent but after a few classes, you get used to it. He wants his students to pass his class but understand what they are being taught and he works with you on assignments.
You won't be sorry you choose a class with Professor Deb! He is an amazing teacher who really cares for his students. He's always willing to help those who ask and doesn't get upset if students need clarification. All the materials are graded right away and he follows the class schedule to the t so you know what to expect each class.
I took this class with a different professor in the spring and received a D. I wanted to quit cause I felt it was proof I wouldn't succeed. I took Prof. Deb's class over the summer and got a B. Professor Deb's class made me realize I can do this and I will not have to give up on my career goal.
This was my first class back to college after many, many years. I was so happy to have taken Dr. Deb's summer bio class. He would call you out if he thought you weren't paying attention, but if you were and you had questions, it made class fun and interesting. He really looks out for his students and wants everyone to succeed. Highly recommend!!
Very rude and doesn't understand you. If you try to ask him something, he avoids it. Do not recommend taking it.
Mr Deb was great teacher, he wants you to participate so you can learn and gives extra credit for participation. He gives enough time for homework , lab and quizzes. Take notes and you will pass this class. Students who gave negative feedback were the ones that didn't participate and are upset about their grades. I would take his classes again!
Dr. Deb cares a lot about his students and wants them to succeed. He likes the class to be interactive and promotes class participation. The volume of work is fair and appropriate. If you keep up with homework and quizzes, you'll do well on exams. I would definitely take another class taught by Dr. Deb!
Reading is mandatory for you to be successful in this course. HW, quiz , and lab every week but will give extensions if needed. You have to do your do diligence if you want to earn an A. Dr.Deb wants you to succeed but he also wants you to earn it. Overall I enjoyed the class and the knowledge I took from this class.
The course by itself is very condensed and the lectures themselves are somewhat too short given all the concepts, so get ready to dig into the textbook. Dr. Deb compensates for the difficulties of the course by being very caring and attentive. He gives lots of labs and activities to help you pump your grade up, and his classes are very pleasurable.
I took biology and microbiology with Dr Deb. I really liked his style of teaching and his interest in getting to know students personally. He took the time to teach us about life things and not just strictly about biology. He really cares about his students and is very understanding when you are having a difficult time. Quizzes and test are simple!
Dr Deb is not your ordinary professor, he is able to keep you engaged in his lectures by his jokes and asking everyone questions to make they are grasping the topic. Quizzes, exams, & homework will be exactly about what was taught in class. Very easy to talk to! He wants all his students to succeed in his class which is why I received good grades.
I took microbiology 223 in spring 2022 and enjoyed this class. Professor Deb is very great, he gives enough time for homework, lab, and quizzes and even can give extra time. He was very supportive during the semester, smart, and very funny.
Very good professor! Always ask how you are doing or if you need help.Highly recommend to take his class! Dr. Deb gives you all information that you need to pass his class, if you do it all, you will pass.
Dr. Deb is very good professor! Always ask how you are doing or if you need help.Highly recommend to take his class! Dr. Deb gives you all information that you need to pass his class, if you do it all, you will pass.
I took Professor Deb in bio 226 and I highly recommend him! The class was held over Zoom in the evenings, but he made it exceptionally engaging and made the class very enjoyable. There IS A MUST for you to participate in the lecture, but if you feel you can't, Professor Deb will take the time to make sure you understand the concepts.
Dr. Deb was a compelling and engaged professor. You must carve time out for this course to stay on top of the work. Dr. Deb's lectures go through each topic in a chapter so there is no confusion. He makes sure everyone is paying attention. It is imperative that you participate in the class and honestly, makes the class more enjoyable.
Great professor. Very caring and willing to answer any questions. He wants to help you get a good grade and offers to help. Encourages you to try your best
Taking Dr. Deb's lectures was an absolute pleasure. He is an empathetic and attentive teacher who truly cares about his students. His use of humorous and insightful examples made the class more engaging and enjoyable. I would gladly take another course with him in the future.
He did a great job at applying what we read in our texttextbooks books to his slides and lectures! Really helped me grasp the material more!
Professor Deb is a very good professor. He is willing to help you understand the material and is open to questions and believes in his students taking their education serious. You can really learn a lot from him if you pay attention, ask questions and come to class.
Dr. Deb is a great professor, I really enjoyed his class! He really wants his students to succeed and it really shows. He lectures so you understand the concept of the material. He is so hilarious as well. Please ask questions if you do not understand. Work, study, and participate in class. I can't stress this enough! Good luck!
Dr. Deb was amazing! me as someone who did not know a single bit of biology Dr. Deb did a great job explaining step by step with real life examples! The class is very enjoyable, you can tell that he is really passionate about biology!
It is important to show up to ALL classes, we had quizzes every week and many homework assignments due. Take notes during the lecture and make sure you take time to study. Dr. Deb is one of the funniest professors I've had, but don't let that fool you. YOU NEED TO DO THE WORK. He responds to all emails and can send links for tutors if you need it.
What I would like to share with other students he's the most funniest professor you ever meet. He would make sure you is on track and focus and yes I would have Dr.Deb as a professor.
Overall Great Professor, very thoughtful and considerate of his students. Great course Learned a lot and would defiantly recommend. He made the class time fly, a bit homework heavy but enjoyed taking the course.
I really enjoyed this class.
Dr. Dep is an outstanding biology professor who is genuinely dedicated to his students' success. His passion for teaching is unmatched, and he goes above and beyond to ensure his students not only grasp the material but also understand its real-world applications. Dr. Dep is determined to see his students excel, both academically and in life!
idk why he is rated so well. OMG HE YAPS A LOT. He gets sidetracked so easily it is honestly frustrating. Its 75% yap, 25% lecture. You need to teach yourself the material and he just reads off the slides that will barely help you for the hw and quizzes. If you can be independent and patient you can do well, but if not, turn the other way AND RUN.
Prof. Deb's lectures really helped me grasp the material. His humor and real-world examples made the class engaging. I found unstuck study and the textbook to be great study aids alongside class participation.
The class is basically a self study independent course. The professors' lectures are so basic, they provide no assistance in the HW or exams on Pearson. I've decided to use khan academy to teach and explain concepts and begrudgingly go to class because I have to. Would not take again
get ready to rumble for the extravagant journey that you will experience while in his course. you will travel the world with the various subjects that will be covered that has nothing to do with your course. you will seek wonders of knowledge from other sources, but most importantly, you will uncover the great lesson of patience and serenity!
If his class is the only class you can take, connect with your fellow peers. You will need both academic and emotional support from each other while taking this class. There is simply no way the 5/5 reviews are written by real people. Seek YouTube lectures. Read the textbook. Get ready to teach yourself.
Mr deb is extremely understanding, he may come off a little hard at first but you just have to get to know him. He had several oppurtunities to drop me from the class and chose to give me multiple chances. He will give you extra credit for participating and helping him with labs, he makes everything easy to learn and is really playful. 10/10
Attendance mandatory since it's only a day per week great professor he's funny fair with his students since he wants them to succeed.
Amazing professor really cares about his students and has has great knowledgeable of Science and very motivational speaker.
He's a nice and understanding person and connects with his students, but this is a pretty self taught course overall. I'd recommend connecting with your peers in the class. The online lectures weren't entirely helpful all the time and he didn't seem to always know the content of the labs.
Great Professor that cares about students success and their future very motivated teacher with very in lighting lectures and very supportive of students , and their success
Professor Deb was always willing to help us succeed in his class. Gave the class so much advise on how important to have a good career in life. I think what helped me in his class is that he set date on turning in assignments. Then that how I knew I had to do it right away and not leave it to end of the semester. Thanks Professor Deb!
Mr,Deb is an Amazing Professor, who really cares about the success of his students, he puts time and effort into acknowledging all of his students, he also gives amazing lectures to help his class learn more. He's always accessible and gives great feedback regarding class work, i am very grateful to have him as my teacher this semester.
If I could I would take Dr.Dilip class again! Such a great professor and super caring about us understanding the lectures. He was funny and made lectures fun! I would highly recommend him to anyone taking BIO 121
Thank you, Dr. Deb, for being such an amazing biology professor. Your clear lectures, patience, and attention to detail made learning enjoyable and less overwhelming. I truly appreciate your kindness, support, and the time you invested in helping us succeed. You made a real difference!
He is a great professor if you attend his class attentively and with 100 percent effort. You can easily pass the class with full attendance and with a little effort.
Lectures are chaotic, and he blows through the material without adequately explaining it. He leans heavily on metaphors that don't really land. He does tie a lot of what he says to real-world examples, which can be interesting, but it's hard to really get it. He seems like a nice guy, but I would definitely never take one of his classes again.
Lectures class after completing chapter & assignments on your own. Gonna end up teaching yourself…. If you are not able to learn on your own.. do not take this class.
