Great,inspiring teacher when I had him in early 1970s. Members of his class still meet in Boston at times and invite him to dinner. Helped inspire me to become an English teacher. Demanding, fair, smart.

Prof. DeRoche is easily the best prof i've encountered at neu. even his survey courses are far more interesting than any elective i've ever taken. his classes, full of compelling discussion, fly by and he thoughfully considers everything his students have to say. TAKE HIS CLASSES!

Comment:

Derouche is an awesome teacher. He friendly, clear, and smart as hell. the subject matter is a little tricky, but he explains it well. I definitly feel a lot more confident reading poetry after taking this class and it is a text book I definitly will not sell to that wierd guy in the green van.

I've had Deroche for Am Lit 1 & 2 and, what can I say? He has been the most influential, positive experiences I've had @ NU. He is SO witty, interesting, wry and by far, the wisest Professor I've encountered so far. Your NU experience won't be complete w/out taking one of his courses.

Comment:

Prof. DeRoche is, bar none, the best professor I had at NU. His class is engaging to the extent that its difficulty is totally negated by the students' interest. Few teachers every really manage DeRoche's level of clarity and honesty while retaining the un

Comment:

I had Joe DeRoche in 1989-1991, for every class he taught. His classes are personally challenging and enriching, his criticism always supportive. Took our Spirituality Lit. class to a monastery (it was not required, but every class member voluntarily attended). He's the best. Take him all you can.

Best professor I've had at NU, actually cares about students being interested in subject, but on top of that he really knows his stuff. He could use some fashion help, but that really doesn't matter.
