Rupa is a great professor even though she has a strong accent. I found her lectures to be very helpful.

She knows her stuff, it's just that you also to have to read the book to fully understand her lecture because she doesn't write everything down in class like other professors. I liked her class; I learned a lot or maybe i'm just saying this becuz of my A

The class was interesting. I didn't think the exams were difficult. In order to do well on the exams you need to prepare for them by studying the book intensivly. Her exams were straight out of the book, but watch out for tricky all of the above questions

The lectures tend to be a bit disorganized even though she provides a template for notes. I usually have to go back and relisten to the lectures online. However, the help sessions are very useful and Rupa is always friendly and willing to help clarify.

tricky tests.

I love her lectures - 'hmm'. But her exams are horrible.

I guess I am one of the few that actually liked Rupa. I am not a genious, my GPA is barely above a 3.0... but I did not think it was extremely difficult to get a B in the class (A is rather hard). I learned a lot, Rupa cares about her students with all the extra help she offers. I think people are just bitter cause the class isn't a breeze.

Tough class, but the teacher gets too much of a bad rap. She's a fine teacher, and is plenty helpful/friendly if you actually go to help session and give her a chance. The class is hard, but it isn't as difficult as Dr. Chang's genetics course.

Rupa is one of the best professors at Purdue. She genuinely wants her students to learn and succeed.

Rupa is amazing. Just a little advice to people reading this...get to know her. Go to her office and talk to her. She is really not like she seems in class. She wants people to succeed. I still go back to talk to her and I am two years out of her class. Also, it is possible to get an A...

Rupa rocks. She really wants her students to be successful and understand but you have to try. You have to study and ask questions in help session and office hours. And yes she does give out plenty of As.

Very Hard Class, but she wants you to succeed. Her voice turns me on ;)

I had professor de for both 301 and 302. it took me all of 301 to figure out how to study for her class but i learned SO much. if you put in the effort, you will be rewarded. I didn't use the book once. but GO TO CLASS and DO WELL ON QUIZZES

Had Rupa for both 301 and 302-This is one of those classes where if you put the time into it, you will do well. I studied A LOT for these classes, notes + book. It's not just about staring at your notes for hours. You have to test yourself. Her tests require you to really know the material. That means studying wayyyy before the exmas.

Rupa is a GREAT professor. The only reason people say she isn't is cause her class is CHALLENGING. If you are in the college of science and can't handle this class, switch your major. Be ready to study, listen, and apply concepts to real life. You can't slack in this class. Would you want YOUR doctor to have slacked in Anatomy? Me either!

She is definitely a difficult professor but I feel as though I actually learned something. By the end of the course you really get the hang of how she does her exams and you feel confident moving onto 302. Definitely recommend going to the study sessions and re-listening to the lectures on Boilercast.

This class is hard but she is a great prof. She explains everything very well and you don't need to know any material outside of what she says in lecture. She has an accent but it is easy to get used to, unlike other profs. She also understands that she can be hard to understand and is happy to repeat herself. Lectures are also recorded and online.

The class is hard, yes. But the lab portion can bring you from a B to an A in the class. The Third exam is extremely difficult so prepare for it weeks before. The optional end of semester exam is also very easy. Just study the semester exams, there are a lot of repeat questions. Rupa is awesome also, don't be nervous to talk to her.

It is a difficult class, but it is doable. You need to put the work in. It is extremely helpful to anyone wanting to go to medical school or PA program or other medical professions. It's college, you're going to have difficult classes! Quit whining and do the work.

Everything lines up so well. The assigned reading lines up with the lectures which line up with her notes. The lab compliments it all. Yes, you have to read the book to do well. On the bright side, lectures are recorded and you don't have to go unless there's a quiz. Tests cover almost everything that was covered, but nothing more. You learn a lot.

Rupa is an awesome Professor! Anyone who says it's too hard or she doesn't care about them are the same people who don't put in the effort to succeed. She DOES make you work for your grade but it's easy if you put the work in. Lazy people should definitely not take her classes...

I thought Rupa was an incredible professor. After he course, I felt prepared for medical school. You just need to be willing to read before class and study plenty. Come on, we are in college, stop being lazy.

LOVED this class, did well, and am TAing for it next year. It is pretty difficult though. There is a method to the madness and if you work hard, you will learn more in that class than you will in any other class at Purdue. It's changed the way I study and think. Not only did I learn about anatomy, but I learned how to be a better student.

As intimidating as she may seem, she really does care about the success of her students. Go to an office hour and just talk to her. She's actually really funny and surprisingly chill. She also will help you with any problems you may be having. You have to study and "quiz yourself" like she says to do. It's the only way you'll do well.

Never went to lecture (unless there was a quiz), but I watched the class recordings, took detailed notes, and quizzed myself several times before each quiz/exam. Took about 6 hr/week for lecture portion. Dr. De seems intimidating, but really cares about her students and is excited when you do well. Exams can be tough, but they're not impossible.

She is tough and upfront, but underneath it all she wants you to succeed. In order to succeed you MUST do the following: read textbook before class; take good notes; rewatch ALL lectures and add to your notes (EVERYTHING is important); go to office hours; when studying for exams, QUIZ yourself and draw out diagrams; seek to UNDERSTAND, not memorize

I already know many of you who took her course may disagree with what I have thoughts on her. Rupa is actually really caring and fun to talk with as long as you go to her office hours and reach out to her. She can be a little intimidating during her lectures, and she writes the exams solely based on whatever she covered in her lecture notes.

Rupa is a great professor considering the amount of material she teaches in one semester. She does give tough exams, however it's all a trickery of words. Practise a lot of old papers.
