Comment:
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.

Dr. Levasseur is a great professor but he makes you earn the grade. He has 3 exams and a final. He allows you to earn extra credit through writing 2 page papers for 3 points each and puts a cap on the amount of extra credit an 21. lectures can be long for T/R class so I would recommend taking M/W/F class if possible. He explains the theories well.

Dr. LeVasseur is by far the best COM teacher I've had. Bc it's my major I was required to take this course & I'm so glad I chose him. It starts off intimidating but hang through. If you study pretty thoroughly and attend class, you'll pass. He gives A LOT of extra credit, too, so don't sweat it. Also VERY helpful. Take him, take him, take him!!

Great professor, great classes. I'm about to take him for a third time. His exams are definitely harder than most, but he makes up for it with extra credit and facilitating great class discussion. Take him.

This was by far the hardest class I've ever taken. The lectures are online and are fill in, attendance is not taken but you will regret missing this class because leaves blanks throughout the notes. No class no notes. The exams are extremely challenging. Great guy, but if I had to be honest and if you still had the chance I'd run the other way.

Dr. Levasseur is extremely knowledgeable and gives great examples in class, but his tests are impossible. The class average on the first test was a D-. He does give a lot of extra credit though - you have to write papers for it. Like I said, he knows his stuff, but I wouldn't recommend taking this class with him.

I would HIGHLY recommend taking this class if you are a Communications major. The material you learn in this class is useful in other classes, jobs, and presentations. He wants you to grow as a public speaker, and you will if you put in the effort. Expect impromptu speeches and nerves, but believe me you won't regret taking this class!
