Comment:

He is extremely rude and condescending in way he speaks to students. Miss homework, pop-quizzes (unannounced), or dont figure out the tricks in the way he words tests and youre going to fail. He calls out students in-class in front of everyone, even checked a girls laptop to make sure she wasnt working on anything else. She was studying for a t

Comment:

Professor Rouselle is the best teacher I have ever had/ will have in all my years of schooling. This course was the most beneficial for me. I actually learned something, which is rare in my program. It isn't easy, but it is possible to do well. Just do the homework, it doesn't have to be right, just do it and you'll get full credit!

Comment:

The best HTM teacher by a long shot. He is pretty hard but unlike some other teachers he actually knows what he's talking about. He teaches you the information in a way that is easy to understand. If you have the chose take accounting with him because he prepares you for graduation unlike any other teacher.

Comment:

Yes, this class was hard, but he is a very good teacher. He clearly enjoys teaching. His exams are challenging but if you prepare and do all of the assignments you will be fine. He is willing to answer any questions. He loves class participation. The material he teaches is very relevant to the industry... I'm keeping my book to reference later on.

Comment:

this class was hard. he calls students out and you have to go to class. you can opt out of the final but you have to do ALL your homework. plus there's quizzes every other class. he's got a lot of experience and knows what he's talking about but not the teaching style that worked for me. glad to be done.

Comment:

He is a very hard professor, but the material he covers you need to know for the industry. He is very fair with his grading. I had to get a tutor to help me for an hour or two a week which helped a lot too. I felt extremely accomplished after taking his class and ready for the real world of accounting. Many students are intimidated by him, don't be

Comment:

Rouselle, I thought, was a very good professor. He explained things well, and I really liked that he wrote the textbook, because it actually felt useful. My favorite HTM accounting professor. It wasn't easy, but it is just because he expects a lot from his students because he knows it will help them later on.

Comment:

I thought he did a great job explaining everything we had to do for homework, or anything i was confused on. His tests are FAIR (not easy or hard) they cover what we covered, nothing tricky or confusing. He also is good about giving credit to you on the test for any part you do get right or for showing work, even if ur answer is wrong. Great prof

Comment:

He is absolutely awful. The class should be fairly easy (albeit boring), but he singles out and embarrasses students, doesn't teach anything, and assigned us a terrible book. I have to look up half of the terms and concepts online to understand them.

Comment:

Worst teacher in the entire world. He definitely does not care about this students and does not admit to being wrong when he is. He embarrasses his students and will not leave them alone if they do not know an answer. They do not know an answer because he does not teach anything to them. He should be FIRED. DO NOT TAKE 315 with him either.

Comment:

Professor Rousselle is a great person. It's very obvious he cares about his students. He will gladly take time to help with a study session for an exam. For Valentines day he gave the entire class fudge that his wife made. The material is frustrating but the professor is great.

Comment:

He's pretty passionate in the classroom, which some people receive as abrasive and crude (one girl said he was like her dad yelling at her), but I think he was great and kept the class engaged in the material. Great teacher for material that can be very boring.

I love Dr. Rousselle! If you ever have questions in accounting he is always more than willing to help you out. I didn't think it was possible, but he always founds ways to make Accounting interesting.

Rousselle is amusing and energetic. He makes accounting interesting on occasion, which in itself is a miraculous feat. Overall, I would say he is a good professor.
