Good riddance to bad Ruttledge. Ursinus will be better off without this megalomaniac.

Comment:

He's very quirky and loves to teach. Some of these comments are just creepy. I'm not a creepy stalker, but i do think he's a good prof. All those people in olevian need to leave this poor man alone!

Comment:

Butt-ledge uses his charm to his advantage, but in reality he is horrible. I did fine in O-chem-I with him but very bad in o-chem II with someone else because I realized I did not really learn much with him. Also as an advisor, he thinks he's a psychologist and that he knows everything and reads minds. He is just a flirty, frat boy type of person.

Comment:

Great teacher, tests are tough but he's always there to help. Keeps class very interesting and I never missed despite hating organic. One class he made say backside attack everytime we did that kind of reaction, he throws his model set, and talks about driving his car 50mph over the speed limit,

Comment:

Dr. Ruttledge is the one professor I would stare at in class daydreaming of our children. He was so difficult it would make me study more but so funny I loved going to class. My junior year my room faced his house and I would watch him walk home ever day - stalkerish I know, but I really liked his ass!

Comment:

He was an awesome CIE prof. After the horrible bore of first semester with another professor, Ruttledge's class was so refreshing. I actually looked forward to going to his class everyday. He totally kicks a**

Comment:

Ruttledge's class is the only class where you can score between 30%-50% on every assignment and still end up with a B+ and I for one think that's great! His class was hard but his humor and good looks more than made up for it.

Comment:

Well, I'll say this for Ruttledge- he kept me awake. He used to spike his molecule set on the ground like a football when someone answered a question correctly. But I don't think he explained the material very well. I did well on his tests, though.

Ruttledge is the bomb. Unfortunately, his synth problems and his tests are SO hard, you might as well just kiss your GPA goodbye cuz it isn't coming back anytime soon.

Comment:

He's a cool teacher. He's funny, and as hard as the exams are, if you go to him, he'll help you. He tries to make learning chem fun, because he wants you to learn, and I for one think he's doing a pretty good job.

Comment:

He is an awesome professor, and although I've heard horror stories about him I'm going to try and take a whole bunch of his classes...his teaching method makes everything very clear. (of course, i'm finding everything about O-Chem easy...)

Comment:

Wow, OChem with this guy was nuts in so many ways. He's quirky, way hot, a marathoner, and a crazy teacher who'll tell funny anecdotes in class and give you graduate-level problems in the middle of an exam. I failed exams, but I also learned a ton.

Comment:

Quite possibly the best teacher on the planet Earth. There are people that say Ruttledge is a bad teacher and I am sure those people are enjoying their cold, wet gutters. His teaching prowess is beyond reproach.

Comment:

You people are out of your gourd if you think he's not a good professor. This guy rules. Yes, his exams are difficult but you leave that class knowing a thing or two. Plus he's easy on the eyes which is just a bonus.

Very self-assured - he laughs at every joke he tells. Always willing to help, no matter how dumb a question is
