He is really boring but is very helpful. His exams are hard and they are 90% of your grade. Take him if you want to work hard!

This guy is one of the smartest professors I've ever had... Hes like a computer, totally understands everything. Always has office hours and will help you if you need it. Class lectures can get pretty boring, but the notes are all available on his website

extremely nice man, very willing to help, truly wants you to learn, does teach to a higher level though, intro class was far too complicated for what it was, not so bad though

Prof. Bagga exhibits as real care towards the thorough understanding of the Biology he teaches. This translates into "Hard", and demands involvement by students. Bravo.

Really nice guy, class can be a bit boring, but it is easy. I got an A and only study for one test, as long as you read the assigned readings you will do fine.

Lots of work (mainly studying), but you'll learn a lot. Very eager to help and answer questions.

VERY understanding and fair. Material may be somewhat hard to grasp, but he teaches it in a way that makes it easy. He does not move on to next concept unless all students understand the material (that is if you speak up). You will learn a lot.

pretty fair teacher although he is a little high on himself. If you study, you will get an A, if you erase anything you will fail.

I really hate all the memorization because I'm not good at it, but if you can understand concepts you'll pass this class. The material is hard and boring - he does his best to make it interesting. He's passionate about what he teaches and you'll learn.

great guy. the class is pretty easy too. i hate bio but it was a great course.

He is so precious...you just want to take him home to your mother!

full of himself.

Nice guy. Needs to resepct privacy. Has to learn he can help students accomplish lot more by motivating students rather than letting them down. Got a B+

You will learn A LOT! He sincerely cares about his students learning the material. He will not move ahead until "every one" understands the material. Don't take this class with anyother hard science courses.

He makes Bio very interesting, even to non-major students (like myself). He is extremely intellegent, and will answer any questions you have about anything remotely related to biology (and answer them well). He expects a lot, but if you show up at class every day, you wil be fine

If you are thinking about it, take his bioinformatics class, you will learn a LOT of cutting edge tools on the internet. Must not have any real knowledge of computers or programming.

I am a bioinformatics major and Dr. Bagga is my advisor. He has been very helpful in my understanding of the field.

he is a great guy who will help his students to no end. his test are not bad but the TF are hard! he hypes up the bioinformatics ALOT. its not all its cracked up to be and u find this out very late in the game. so do reseach on it and the classes u need for it. study alot of his classes and ull be fine.

Fantastic Professor. Work is difficult but very fair. You will get the grade you EARN. You will also get more real-world-useful knowlege and skills than from any other professor. Highly recomended for the serious student.

Dr. Bagga was the best and hardest professor I have ever had at Ramapo. Lecture notes and labs = Fantastic. His lecture and lab exams are MC and tricky, but manageable overall. Lecture and lab were a blast with him; hard, enjoyable, and entertaining. Tough material overall but he makes you earn your own grade. Bioinformatics project was easy!!! A+!

He's a very fair grader and will go out of his way to help you. He's good at explaining concepts and makes class exciting. However, he tends to use a lot of overwhelming acronyms. He is also very thorough. Everything he says in class will always be on the test in some form. You have to really understand and be able to apply the concepts.

Great Professor! Hard class, don't take other hard classes at the same time- annoying while in the course but looking back, I learned a lot! Lab methods can be used on resume, He is VERY excited about bioinformatics (sometimes I forgot I was in CMB!) Labs are LONG, sometimes OVERTIME. Work at it and you'll do fine, tricky tests READ THE TEXT!!

The Cell & Molecular Biology class requires a lot of work. However, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will learn a lot from this professor. He comes prepared to the class and teaches the subject with passion. He tries to use the latest developments in science as examples. The exams are hard but very fair. Project was fun!

Makes you attend all the classes. Treats you with dignity and respect even if you are not the smartest in the class. Very helpful even outside the classroom. Learnt a lot of new information in his course. Highly recommended for a serious student.

C&MB is a hard course. However, Prof. Bagga makes it very interesting. He is highly knowledgeable. (And kind of cute). He goes out of the way to explain the hard concepts and won't move further until you understand everything. But you have to work hard to stay 'current' with the information. Don't wait till the last day to prepare for the exam.

I took his bioinformatics course because heard a lot about it. I could not have imagined how much I will end up learning in that class. It is not as hard as the CMB course. The professor teaches it with a lot of enthusiasm and is very helpful. The skills I learned from the class were very helpful for me to be where I am today. Highly recommended!

EXTREMELY hard class that requires a LOT of work and studying on your own time. Attendance is mandatory, and classes can get a little tedious at times, but he truly cares about your learning and goes out of his way to make sure you understand it. Spends an hour on questions if he has to. Hard class, but he's a great teacher.

Dr. Bagga is amazing. He made the hardest class ever easy and enjoyable. He really cares about your learning. I learned much more than any other class I took. He even gives you study tips and how to prepare for his exams. Also, he's willing to help new graduates to find jobs. So, make sure you take Cell and Molec with him. A+

Cell and Molecular Biology was great with him. He is the best biology teacher at ramapo college. He is probably the only one who knows how to teach. His exams are fine, not as hard as what he says in class. Just pay extreme attention in class. you will make it. Take it with Bagga you will like it.

Great professor! Wasn't too excited about taking the class but I was happy to have taken Cell Molec with Bagga because he actually made it interesting. Dr. Bagga is the man! As long as you pay attention and ask him questions if you dont understand things you'll do fine.

I learnt a lot in the Bioinformatics class. The prof is great. He teaches with passion and makes it fun. He makes sure you learn all the concepts. The skills I learnt will be very helpful in finding a job and/or getting into grad school. The class is not too difficult and counts as a Biology elective with lab!

Great professor great class! He will work with you to make sure you understand everything. Will not quit until you understand it. He brings exciting new discoveries to every class. Makes the class very interesting. I think he is one of the best teachers at Ramapo. Can't wait to take his Bioinformatics class in the spring.

I took Bioinformatics just because it fit into my schedule and counts as an elective with lab for the biology major. However, I am glad I took the course. I learnt so much. It was fun!

Cell & Molecular Biology was a hard but fun class with Dr. Bagga. I have already taken his Bioinformatics class. Wish he taught more courses. I would love to take his courses.

The class is soooooo easy easier than Bio1. 400 level joke. His exams are rite from the notes and nothing challenging at all. Take this class if you need a bio elective its the easiest. The lab is a joke even though he makes a big deal out of it. Bagga will love you if you sign up for it. It really sucks sitting 5 hours on Thursday in that class.

BAGGA IS AWESOME!!! AMAZING AT EXPLAINING THE STUFF. EASY GOING. COOL GUY. REALLY CARES ABOUT YOUR LEARNING. HE MAKES BIOINFORMATICS VERY INTERESTING. EASY COURSE AND MUCH COOLER THAN CELL MOLEC!! PROJECT ISNT AS BAD AS EXPECTED

Great professor. Really goes above and beyond for his students. BIINF is very fun with him, and the project isn't too bad although it can be frustrating. Learned a lot.

Best bio course I have ever taken,But a lot of work/time was required.Tests were pretty long and intense.You will work for your grade and you will learn a lot.Truly the best professor in the department-fair, undestanding,funny,and clear!The majority of what he teaches does show up on the test and the course is not for slackers.

Don't let him scare you in the beginning! He does expect you to know a lot, but he teaches well. He's super nice if you need help in the class or anything in general (esp if you're a bioinformatics major). Definitely wants his students to learn something in the class. Start the end projects asap.. it's not hard but it takes forever

Yes, he expects a lot out of you but if you go to class, look over your notes, and write down everything he says, you should be fine. Show him you’re making an effort. He makes the class seem harder than it is, but he’s very thorough and enthusiastic about helping students. Also, knows A LOT about grad school!Take ONLY if you have good work ethic!

Awesome guy, he is truly passionate about his teaching. I highly recommend taking him.

He is a tough but awesome professor. Made this class enjoyable. You work for your grade but he makes the tough material easier to grasp.

He really wants students to do well in his class, though you will have to work for it. Study the lecture slides and any other readings he gives you and you'll be fine. Make use of office hours and the tutors, and form a good study group. For his lab, start the website and lab notebooks as early as possible so they don't pile on during finals week.

Here is a professor that other educators should strive to be more like. He will give the shirt off his back to help students understand. The class requires a lot of studying, and an expensive online HW thing, barely used. Three exams and two quizzes very little margin for error in this class. Go to tutoring and make sure you get the material.

Becomes #1 priority. Lots to memorize and test questions are purposefully tricky. Need to know Bio1/2 and Genetics. He is very smart, has really high expectations, and teaches it like a grad school course. He is very willing to help you succeed and is compassionate. Grade consists of 3 MC tests and pop quizzes. Lab/Gene project is hard and long.

amazing lecturer, very inspirational, and truely cares about his students. He cares about his students that want to be there and are willing to put in the work. Bagga may sound "condescending" but its how you take it, he isnt being rude he is just being honest and truthful when he says you should know this already. Amazing professor , 10 stars

Dr. Bagga is truly amazing. He is truly a one of a kind professor who is very accessible out of class. He is understanding and very kind. Although his class may seem difficult, if you are truly willing to put in the work, you will succeed. He will see your efforts and work with you towards your goal. Recommend him for lab!

This professor is the closest you can get to a "medical school" experience. It's a difficult course, and work heavy. However, studying for this course helped me transition into medical school. Although I did not the best in his class, looking back, it has, and currently is, helping me.

No electronics allowed, and mandatory attendance. Don't be late. For notes, print out his slides before class and annotate them. Also review them before and after class. Use spaced repetition (Anki) for studying everyday. Be familiar with the idea of first, second, and third order questions for exams. Make sure to take advantage of tutors.

For the first two weeks, he's extremely rude, but then he becomes pretty funny and chill. Idk why but you just have to deal with it. His tests are pretty easy, despite him constantly saying that they're hard. Just review his slides regularly, and you'll be fine. On day one, he'll give lots of rules, but most are common sense like don't cheat, etc.

Professor Bagga is a caring and understanding professor. You do have to work hard in the class, and study the class material properly!! I feel like the tests were fair, everything is usually discussed in class, so pay attention in the class. I learnt so many stuff in this class and would highly recommend taking his class.

Exams were very easy. The final project was time-consuming
