He is a nice teacher. I took his Bio 40A & B. He is generous to give us credit. As if you spend time to study textbook in advance, it is not difficult to understand. He tries his best to use aid tool to help us understand. His test question is not hard, too. Bio 40 is an interesting subject.

HE'S A GREAT TEACHER, ITS EASY TO UNDERSTAND HIM, HE'S VERY HELPFUL.

his class is pretty easy, he doesn't try to make it difficult. his lectures are a bit hard to follow and organization isn't so good though. he's willing to help and easy to talk to.

The subject matter is sometimes very difficult to understand. Dr. Sengupta is extremely helpful whenever he is asked for clarifications. The tests are relatively easy assuming you have done the homework and read the material thoroughly. He is very fair in his grading. Be prepared to do a significant amount of homework and reading.

He is very nice and says words a little different than usual, which is funny and cute in an older, professor sort of way. If he likes you and you show effort, you get an A. Group project,you don't need to go overboard, easy A. Nice guy.

Dr. Sengupta is a brilliant professor. He knows his subject & he presents it with clarity, precision, and understanding. He makes this very difficult material understanndable and retainable. His lectures reflect his great love of teaching, and his respect for his students.

great teacher. 40b is supposed to be harder than a & c. he made it easy to understand the material. really helps you out if you're lost. i would have gotten an A instead of a B if i didnt miss class so much. go to class! take notes! he goes over practice exams before every exam!

Okay, first of all, get ready to take intensive notes really fast and study hard. His lecture exams are a big challenge, but his lab exam was easier! I ended up getting Bs in his lecture exams and an A+ in his lab exam! dont worry he only has one lab exam. He will give you quizzes as well, make sure you come prepared to class every week! hyper one!

I enjoyed taking this class. He is a very helpful and friendly. although his accent is a bit hard to understand sometimes but its not that bad. I don't see how people say this is a hard class. Bio40 isn't supposed to be cake class. His test were pretty straight forward and easy if you do the reading.

he was a great instructor! very helpful, with lots of energy. tests were not too hard, he made it seem like it would be so that you study hard, but he is very fair.

Yes, he have an accent, but that won't be the problem if students only read and just follow and listen. He is a good, fair teacher. If many people thinks that he is unorganized, why would they be bothered with it. You are not there to learn how to organize. Just listened, and read the book cause it will help you. College is not a spoon feed level o

Don't listen to other peoples bad comment on this teacher. I didn't and I told them that I will see it myself, and I did see that accent and being unorganized is not the issue to get a good grade. You also have to work hard to get good grades. Don't be bother with the accent, just listen,learn, and read, and not criticize.

This is my third and last A and P class, and Sengupta is the best one! He really goes out of his way to help students understand the material. I am a native english speaker and didnt not find his accent difficult to understand, neither did I find him disorganized. I highly recommend this professor =)

very good

pls dont give lame excuses about strong accent. i missed 3 lecture classes, still got a A grade. i would suggest you to take ur 40 ABC with him for some simple reasons. the total for 40 b was 600, 300 for lecture exam. 150 for labs and 150 for homework which u can easily get it plus has bonus points . just read his notes and a bit of text book.

sengupta is a great teacher, very helpful. he will post the class material on the website, what ill suggest u is to read his notes and pls do refer the textbook as well. if u dont understand any aspect of the subject pls do meet him. he ll make sure that understand everything.

Dr. Sengupta is a wonderful professor. He's very brillient. Even though he has accent, I'm an ESL student, still understand his lectures well. He has a great teaching passion and was easy too. All you need to do is to read the book carefully and try to memorize as much as you can, then you'll do well. Finally an A+ for him.

You will love him after you take his class. You will realize that he's much more better than the other teachers. He's funny, especially he's very smart. He loves teaching and always willing to help you. The only that he wants from his students is their success. He fells happy when students are happy. He builds extra credits on tests to help you too

If you take him, make sure to go to his office hours. He's not very good at lecturing, but I think he's great when it's one or two people asking him stuff. He's a nice guy, but he's hard to understand, and his class really feels like an elementary school level rather than college. Expect to stay the whole lab period every lab. Tests are okay.

I enjoyed this professor. It is clear that he loves his job and the subject matter. He is always willing to stay afterward in class to answer any questions you may have. Very easy to talk to. Students who were irritated with him were usually lazy students who were hoping for an easy A. He does tend to call you out if you were one of those students.

He's my favorite teacher! his lecture was helpful for me, and quiz and exams were on the text book. If you study hard with his hand out and text book, you'll get good grade. Also he gave us study guide, it's really useful for exam.

Inspirational. Extremely knowledgeable, motivated, well organized, and passionate about biology. He does impart some speech inflection but it is pretty easy to understand after a class or two (we are college students after all). Being taught by a competent instructor is a pleasure.

4 Quizzes, @ midterms, 1 lab final and 1 lecture final - no notes. Exams are hard if you don't study, but he's entertaining. He will ALWAYS help you, super nice and knows what he is talking about. I would take his class again.

I took Sengupta for Bio 40A and Bio 40B. He is one of the best professors I have ever had and I would definitely recommend him. His lectures are interesting, he explains everything very well and he is very knowledgeable. His tests are medium hard but as long as you take notes and study his lecture notes in detail, you will do well.

Passionate, engaging, humorous, and encouraging! He wants you to succeed and is passionate about helping you do it. Talk to him and get to know him, it helps :)75pts x 2 exams, final 150 cumulative. 1 lab, 1 final lab is cumulative. Exams were pretty easy if you study. Use your book! He is the best just like everyone said :) Good Luck

Sengupta is probably the most passionate teacher I've had so far. Any complainers are just lazy. His tests are actually the easiest out of all my science classes IF YOU STUDY (If you don't, then obviously there harder). My advice: over-study for the test and stay with the class as far as reading goes because he usually gives quizes every lab.

soooo HORRIBLE i didn't know there are only 4~5 students in class most students are ignored some students who are treated well ask personal questions like "i have vision problems...""my mother said...""my contact lens.." please don't hinder lecture go to see a Dr his lecture is useless, so ONLY THE TEXT IS YOUR TEACHER OR FRIEND!

I guess I'm considered one of the "favorites". In order to learn and do well in a class, participation and showing interest is a must. Don't sit in the back row, not engage in lecture and expect to get noticed (or more importantly comprehend the material). I get good grades because I do the reading, participate and do a thorough job in class work.

On another note, Sengupta is extremely helpful and will keep explaining things until you understand. Exams are quite difficult so be sure to keep up with the reading, take notes and come to class. He does have a thick accent but you get used to it. Ask questions if you don't understand something because that's what makes or breaks your grade.

Awesome teacher. Easy A if you study. You will absolutely learn a lot of things from his class. He's funny but sometimes he's strict because he cares for each of his students,and wants his students to learn and be successful in the future. You should take his class. I recommended him.

Seriously the best teacher i've ever had. He truly cares for all his students. I wish I could take him for 40C. Highly recommended!

This professor is so excited about teaching! Anyone who rates him low is lazy, he will help you no matter what. I'm not even in his class anymore and he is tutoring me for the next section. One time I thought a question was unfair on a quiz and in a snap he made the quiz out of only 9, instead of 10. HE IS ON YOUR SIDE!!! BEST TEACHER EVER!

Sengupta is very helpful. and a nice teacher..Pay attentive in class and read the textbook and you will get a good grade.I took him during the summer and I got an A.

The best biology instructor in De Anza college. He is very knowledgeable,committed and approachable.I highly recommend him especially for the ones who really want to learn.

He likes to answer any questions you might have. He's pretty enthusiastic about biology. As long as you pay attention during his lecture, you'll do well on his tests.

this instructor is very helpful and knowledgeable. if you want to actually learn A&P and not just slide by with a grade take him. the health care field needs knowledgeable people not lazy ignorant ones.

Sengupta is good teacher but you really have to participate and go to class on time to get a good grade. At first he seems very hard but slowly you get used to his teaching. He is very knowlegable. The class consists of 2 lab exams 3lectures, a presentation, numerous quizzes and lab assignment. Be ready to give time to his class.

No matter what teacher you take, Anatomy/Physiology is going to be an extremely hard class. After 3 other teachers, he was by far the most helpful and caring. Unlike other teachers, he is there to make you learn and challenge yourself. The medical field needs people who are willing to go through that.

Biology 40 series are hard enough as it is but he makes it bearable and easy to understand. One of the most knowledgeable and caring teachers. He is a little intimidating at first but as the quarter goes on hes more and more helpful. Out of the 3 classes i remember more from his class. Good teacher, but you still have to put in alot of effort.

best teacher ever. i have taken him for bio 40 B and C. he is very knowledgeable and is very helpful. he actually walks around each table during lab and ask people if they need help. i would totally take him again if he was teaching bio 45 or 26. take him...

best teacher everrrr...please take him. come to class, follow his lecture slides, show that you are putting effort and you will pass his class. he is very helpful and very knowledgeable. take him.

very helpful. He really goes into detail

LOVE. very nice teacher that has convos with you, very funny and friendly,always smiling,very interesting, friendly,so helpful, and very open to hearing/asnwering questions or assumptions. I got an A but i had to study and work for it. 2 midterms, barely hw, and final with repeat questions.dont fall asleep, be late everday, or use ur phone.

He was clear in his lectures and very helpful during lab. He genuinely cares about his students and wants them to understand the material. I thought the material was pretty easy to understand; it's just a matter of committing it to memory. He's also pretty funny when you talk to him. Best biol professor imo.

One of the best teachers I've ever had for any subject. Easy to communicate with and really cares about his students. Use his study guides and you'll pass his tests. Pay attention in labs because he always has quizzes. Overall very clear teaching style and great teacher.

He is very clear about what will be on tests and quizzes and he has study guides to help you with the tests. He is very helpful during office hours and will tell you if you will pass or not. Be sure to read the textbook because he expects you to come into class knowing what was covered in the chapter. Very dedicated and not bad looking either.

Great prof! Take Bio series with him and you won't regret it! Study his check understandings and you will do fine. Very reasonable man.

Helps you succeed in class
