This is Dr. De's first year at Nova, and he is the best professor I have had so far, he truly cares that you learn the information. All of his tests are from the powerpoint, no surprises you know what you are getting. He is so funny and sweet, and I would for sure recommend him for any course. He makes class fun and makes sure you learn.

Honestly Idk what's up with these reviews making him seem like a saint. He's decent at teaching the material, but he doesn't specify what's on the test and goes extremely fast during lectures.

Labs took a very long time, lectures were read straight off the powerpoint, if u know anything about upper level science courses, they need to be explained, not read off of 100+ slide ppts. A&P is a fun class but this prof made it much harder than it needed to be. I retook it at another school and aced it easily! save yourself the stress

loved A&P, i already had prior knowledge from studying from the MCAT so it helped my understanding of this class, but i would say this is prof way more difficult than even my MCAT tutors. This class is strictly lecture, exam, lecture, exam, lab exam, lecture, final. Theres no other work to help your grade if you find yourself struggling

Dr. De is the BEST professor at NSU. I took him for Anatomy and Physiology I and absolutely LOVED his class. He is so smart and knows what he is talking about he also provides amazing feedback and wants the BEST for his students. He gives bonuses at the end of each lab! If you study and utilize the lab time well you will do GREAT!

While recognizing Professor De's commitment, the course lacked clarity in communication and consistency in grading. Teaching methods didn't accommodate diverse learning styles, and accessibility outside class was limited. These factors hindered understanding and engagement, leaving students disheartened.

I would definitely recommend Dr. De for A/P! He is very knowledgeable and tries to make lectures interactive, and attending SI sessions and the EC also helps. Exams were fair and he is accessible to answer any questions you may have. A/P is a difficult course, so you need to be prepared to put in extensive work and studying on your end to succeed.

If you are taking or studying for the MCAT, I recommend taking the A/P course with Professor De. His lab is very straightforward; you will ace the test with the help of PAL and his presentation. My first MCAT score was 500; his presentation helped me get a high score in the B&BFLS section. However, you have to understand the concept.
