Pros: Great teacher, and knows everything that he will be teaching.
Cons: If you aren't a biology major, don't take his class
He will prepare you well for the MCAT or whatever secondary path you choose. He is always willing to help, and will always surprise you with the answers he will give.

Great professor! Very enthusiastic about the subject. His tests are rather difficult, but this class definitely prepares you for harder biology classes by giving you a very solid base. Very good teacher for those who are pre-med or pre-dent. Seriously enjoyed Ruesink so much as a professor. He's very helpful during office hours as well and tries to get to know the students on a personal basis.

Pros: Learned A lot!
Learned wayyy more than the other sections.
Ruesink has a passion for what he teaches and is good in office hours.
Cons: Readings are outrageously long and it's almost impossible to keep up.
He goes way over most students heads. Test are very hard, even though they are curved.
Final is almost impossible, and kept me up for days and I still didn't feel prepared.
Massive amount of information in this class. Hard to even know where to start when studying. Hardest intro class ever.

Pros: Ruesink not only knows the answer to any biology related question, but he can talk at length about question. He is always willing to help students, and is a very down to earth kind of guy. He also has ample experience with several famous biologists. Out of a lecture hall with 300 students, he will take time to learn your name and even use it during class. Furthermore, Dr. Ruesink writes and helps edit questions for the DATs and the MCATs so his class is excellent for anyone attaining to pursue a medical career.
Cons: The grade is definitely not a freebie. Ruesink will make you work hard for the grade you get. If you're lazy, his class is definitely not for you.
Ruesink is an awesome teacher. Going through the class will be a little grueling (you pretty much live with your textbook the entire semester), but the class will be more than worth it in the end.

Ruesink is very knowledgeable on what he talks about. However, his grading is entirely to harsh for a 100 level class. Even with the curve, the likely hood of receiving a good grade is slim. If you can avoid taking him, I highly advice it.
