Comment:
Dr. Van Den Bussche is a very helpful professor who truly wants you to succeed. His tests are challenging but very fair. You will need to study and work problems out of the book and homework (over-and-over) to make it through his portion of the class. Go to class and do well on his tests because Meinke's exams are obscure and hard to prepare for.

VERY tough class, holds true to the rumors. Two professors during the semester. Van den Bussche is pretty interesting. Meinke is the harder professor. Tests are ridiculous. Will probably be retaking this course next semester.

Comment:
really horrid class. you spend a ton of time preparing, do everything you possibly can to succeed, but the exams are to long and much more complicated than the homework, so you do not stand a chance. the grading/difficulty is not consistant from semester to semester. notorious 3-peat-er! that is- its average to take it 3 times to pass!

Engaging, interesting lectures and very nice professor. You must attend class and study hard for both halves of the course to pass. You will have to know the material very well, but you will have plenty of time to complete exams if you study hard. Review old exams, work problems over and over again, and know everything on the slides. (you got this)

Comment:
I enjoyed VDB's lectures. However, his tests are complex, long and more in depth than the given homework. You literally have to know the info backwards and forwards and even still you will sit there and scratch your head during the exams. Seems to be taught on a higher level than introductory. Hard class to pass even with a large amount of effort.

The class is pretty much just a big trick. This course has the potential to be straight forward so learning is possible. But, Van Den Bussche seems to get off on the idea of confusing and failing students.

Dr. VDB really knows what he is talking about. Pay attention to lectures and try to study using old tests if you can find any. 3/4 of his questions came from past exams (slightly modified).

He knows the material and his lectures are much more interesting than meinke's. On the tests you have to know the material or you will run out of time but they are not to bad and he gives lots of partial credit on the problems so BS if necessary. You have to study not an easy class.

I thought VDB was more animated and easier to listen to than was Meinke. This class was a challenge to pull an A in, but I learned a lot. I thought it was a good class overall, and the teachers were great compared to some others I've had.

Very interesting in lecture, but his tests are impossible. They are too long, not clear, and extremely intense. He is very helpful though, and if you go to class and print off the notes it helps a lot. I screwed myself by not going to lecture (since it

Van Den Bussche is tough, but he's fair. I'm averaging a high C in genetics. He knows what he's talking about, and he's always been very helpful when I ask him. Much more interesting lectures than Dr. Meinke's.

One of the worst teachers I've had. Gets his jollies giving bad grades. Not much in the class is conseptually hard, but makes his tests so long no one can finish them. Class average on every test was an F (with no curve). Whos fault could it be?
