This prof is awesome. He is animated in class and gives examples that help with remembering concepts. He is very approachable and thoughtful of students. I was impressed when he bumped into me a year after my class with him and remembered my full name!

So helpful with term paper help, and a fair marker. Pretty approachable and appreciates a "good question" in class.

Dr. Bourassa is awesome! He made me understand everything in one semester that I haven't understood in 3 years! He is a great prof, a great guy, and really cares about his students. I recommend him to EVERYBODY regardless of discipline.

He is the best prof the psych department has. He is really into his work and will not move on until he knows that everyone is clear with what he has gone over. You should try to take at least one of his classes. GREAT prof

Super nice guy and not too shabby either. He is a really great communicator and knows alot about the topic. Makes class fly by by having us do short studies. Tests are fair and he is very approachable. I recommend this course and prof!

For once we have a prof that actually makes class interesting? Thank God! I for one enjoy the fact that he gets excited about the material-he makes sure we understand whats going on, as opposed to some profs I know, who couldn't give a damn

ok, maybe a little good looking, but not hot - ok as a prof but gets a little too excited about the material - he probably dreams about this stuff in his sleep
