Dr. Levasseur is great! He makes his lectures very engaging, interesting, and enjoyable! He clearly cares about his students, and is hilarious! Although you definitely have to work for your grade and spend a significant amount of time reading, it is totally doable. Plus, there are a ton of extra credit options that can get you a lot of points!

Comment:

Dr. L is nice, but I felt very overwhelmed all semester. We were required to read around 85 book pages weekly, which was not conducive to learning and caused constant stress, especially when combined with all of my other work. I was forced to spend much more time on this class than those for my major. It felt impossible to break above a B on tests.

I took the Honors version of public speaking and I learned an incredible amount. He is truly passionate about the topic, and wants to see everyone succeed. However, he does make you work for your grade and earn every point. Don't let this deter you; you will get better at public speaking as you speak in front of the class pretty much daily.

Dr. Levasseur is amazing, I was skeptical at first when taking Com219 bc I had a friend who said his class was impossible. But it truly matters that you put the effort in. He cares a lot about his students, wrote me recommendation letters after graduation. Took 2 more classes with him, Advance Com Theory and Advance Pub Speaking. HIGH RECOMMEND.

In terms of teaching he was an engaging lecturer. The material was difficult to understand and I imagine if I had to pick, I would choose a different professor. He is very good to his students and the extra credit is a plus. Just don't think I'd take it again.

I never did these but I see some peoples comments are a little harsh. It is not impossible to pass this class. It is only impossible if you do not want to pass. Doctor Levasseur takes his job very Serious and hes super passionate about communication. His lectures arent boring they are entertaining so dont miss them. Take good notes and study!

Great guy! Super nice. However, i had to with draw from the class which is something I would never do if I didnt have to. His class is exam based & were super hard. The material is hard to understand & if you dont go to class you wont understand what is being taught. I would take another professor if I knew his class was like this.

Dr. LeVasseur is a good teacher but if you don't go to class you won't pass. Com 219 is very dry but you get what you give! Take advantage of the extra credits too

Dr. Levasseur is one of the best professors I've had at West Chester. You can tell he really cares about his job, and wants all his students to learn the material. I was worried about the level of difficulty for this class but Dr. Levassuer made this class easy to understand and a great learning experience.

Such a great professor! The class was pretty easy also, if you study the book and the lecture, its pretty easy to get a good grade in the class. The lowest exam grade I got was an 86%, and the rest were As, even on the cumulative final! Just go to class, pay attention, and read the book. Youll do well if you do those things!

Levasseur is such an amazing teacher. He is such a nice guy and really enjoys what he does. I took him for advanced Com Theory so it was a lot of work but you learn so much in his classes. You have to work to get a good grade but overall it is worth it. Gives extra credit throughout the semester too so that helps! TAKE HIM!

I have had dr. levasseur for both comm theory, and for advanced public speaking in previous semesters and have enjoyed both. He is a lively and fun professor who always brings a positive attitude and is more then flexible when helping students. People say he grades tough, but your grade is only reflective of what you put into it! Highly recommend!

Do yourself a favor and DO NOT take this prof. This is the hardest class I've taken thus far. You only get 4 exams including the final, and your 2-3 page extra credit papers only count for 2 or 3 points. I'm not exactly sure how anyone could pass this class. After studying for hours I only managed to get a D- on one of the exams.

Dr. Levasseur is a great person, but you certainly have to put in the work with his class. The material isn't dreadful if you take the time to learn it, but grades are based mostly off of exams. If you aren't a test person, review your options.

He is an amazing teacher and cares about his students but his tests are close to impossible to get a good grade on. Studying weeks before the tests is needed to even get a C. He is super nice and helpful and wants you to get a good grade but only if you go to him for extra help.

be prepared to do TONS OF READING. Dr. Levasseur is a funny guy and the information you learn will never leave you, but it is a ton of work. There is no way to get a good grade on his project and paper, he will never be satisfied even if you do exactly as he asks. Very hard class. I usually get A's but ended with an A-. Unfortunate but decent class

One of the best professors in the department. He's a great teacher and makes you earn whatever grade you get. His tests are all application so make sure you truly understand the material but he's always there if you need help. He super low key makes really fun jokes if you listen to him.
