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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
