Comment:

Attendance isn't mandatory but he will randomly do pop quizzes if he doesn't think enough of the class is there and if you miss many of those, it could hurt you but he has extra credit you can do every day and the test are identical to the study guide. You are trying to fail if you don't do well in this class. Such a great professor!

Comment:

He is a good professor and lectures the whole class period. We had 2 test and the final was optional if you had a B or higher in the class. He gives you the test questions before test day just study them and you will pass with an A. There were a few writing assignments but as long as you do them you get full credit. Take him!!!

Comment:

The easiest class. He knows that we aren't science majors and teaches accordingly. Attendance wasn't mandatory but he would randomly give out 1 point quizzes that weren't graded on correctness. Gives you the test questions before the tests and all of the answers are online. Had a B but he bumped basically the entire class to an A to avoid the final

Easy EASY course. Recognizes that we aren't science majors and we are taking it to get the credit. Doesn't take attendance. Spratic pop quizzes worth 1pt which is more of a participation grade than right or wrong. Reviews are same exact questions as exams. I never went to class and made 98s on Exams. EASY EASY EASY COURSE

If you can't make an A in this class, i can't imagine your other classes. Nice guy who is very passionate about his work. Wasn't the best at being interesting at times, but was very helpful and gave you tons of opportunities to make the best grade possible.

Comment:

He's the person to take for this class. He knows what he's talking about and teaches the class very well. His tests can be long but he does give you all the questions before hand. He covers everything that he puts on the tests. He's fair and wants you to do well. He makes the class easy if you do your part.

Comment:

Professor Mousseau is pretty cool. He likes to tell stories about his studies, which sometimes are interesting and sometimes aren't. If you finish the study guides and study them, you will almost certainly get A's on the tests, especially with the curve. I'd recommend this class.

Comment:

Just make sure you take some coffee, he has got to be the most boring man ever. His voice sounds like the "dry eyes" guy and you will definately fall asleep. He does try to make grades fair, but I have literally never been so bored in my life.

Comment:

Even though the exams sometimes go way and beyond what the study guides may provide you, Dr. Mousseau gives a really high range for an A (80-100). So yeah, he is extremely enthusiastic, funny, not the greatest TEACHER per say, but you'll make a good grade. Study groups are essential!

Only so-so at teaching, but gives you lots of opportunities to make a good grade. Gives a study guide for the tests. Lets you exempt the final. Attendance quizzes and assignments total up and are points added to your final grade. You can make an A in this class.
