He's terrible. I can't stand him and you have no choice but to take him. Be warned, you will study more than you ever have and get the worst grades of your life! He is pompous and arrogant and says he wants suggestions and then degrades you when you give him one. His tests are insanely hard and it does no good arguing. He is awful!!!!

To do well, keep up with the class and memorize the notes. If you don't get something, go ask him. Pay attention in lecture, his hard test questions are the ones that aren't explicitly stated in the notes but things he says in lecture. And yes he's arrogant, but it's supposed to be funny, he really does care about his students; so get over it!

Memorize the notes. Go to the study sessions or his office hours if you don't understand the material. He gives you a practice test before each test which helps. Some questions on the tests seem kind of nit-picky so really know the material. He's funny in his own right.

This is a phys class so don't expect it to be easy. It's not impossible to get A or B. Just know every word on his notes and u'll do fine. go to class because he always adds stuff to notes. Study session with kevin is really boring just go if u don't understand things. If you don't mess around u'll be fine,it's not that bad.

I'm not sure what the second student's problem is. Obviously they were bitter they didn't do well in this course. Dr. Ritucci is by far the best instructor I have ever had and I've never heard anyone say a bad word about him. He cares about his students and has a wonderful sense of humor. His arrogance is meant to be a joke, so yes, get over it.

It's ashame that someone on here doesn't appreciate him, because he/she didn't want to study hard and learn. I hope he/she is never my nurse. And yes, Dr. Ritucci is as hot as they come.

When you first see Dr. Ritucci he is a bit intimidating (big muscles and gorgeous) but he is very down to earth. It was a pleasure taking this class. It was extremely hard but if you study consistently, you will be fine. He is more than willing to help you and loves interaction with the students. Go to him if you need help. He is very accessible.

Hottest, nicest, smartest prof I've had. Dr. R is approachable and wants you to learn his material. Some think he's stuck on himself but nothing could be further from the truth: all you have to do is talk to him once and you'll know he isn't. Phys is hard but if you go to class, study HIS notes, ask him questions if you need to, you'll do fine.

His part of the class is pretty tough. If you study the material and keep up with it then you will do just fine.

Dr R is extremely helpful and incredibly nice. Make use of his time. My advice is to study like you have never studied before. His tests are few and difficult so be ready for them. He is one professor who genuinely wants to make sure you KNOW the material, and he avoids regurgitation questions so beware. Be able to teach the material to a stranger.

Ritucci is a great teacher. That doesn't mean if you take this class your getting an A, its one to work for. If your interested in physiology and will take out the time to study this will be a great class for you! He's always willing to help if you reach out for it. The down fall is he words things tricky on exams so know the notes inside and out!

Easily the best professor I have had. Makes the 3000 level physiology more than manageable. With that said, massive amounts of effort are required to obtain a high grade. Poor effort will show in your grade, as you just can't slack in this course and expect to pass.

Basically, the class is tough. I worked really hard for the grade I got. But, he will answer almost every question you think of: weekend, late evening, or during office hours with multiple people in there. What helped me is to think of ways he could trick me on the test while studying the material. Don't get big textbook, just workbook.

Great physiology professor. He is super helpful, and cares a lot about his students. He thinks highly of them, and expects a lot, but if you do exactly what he tells you to do, you will be fine. His exams are not exactly cumulative, which is very helpful. An A or B is possible with hard work and a good amount of studying.

Ritucci made us draw a a lot so that made lectures a lot more interactive. The 2120 was more challenging due to the Physiology. Speak to the professor and get the help you need rather than complain, spread lies in class and put your problems out on here. Go to HIS OFFICE HOURS, don't socialize in class, get the extra help.
