Comment:

Possibly the best professor I have ever taken at the college. He is absolutely hilarious with his lectures and keeps us engaged. He is very caring and laidback and wants us to do well in his class. The assignments, especially the midterm, are a kind of a lot, but his instructions on how to do it are concise. Loved doing the cigar picture outside.

Cant say enough good things about Treut! He is great, would definitely recommend taking him. He does tend to go off topic a lot and is not the best at answering emails. Everything is online like quizzes but honestly not a hard class to pass. Bottom line he is a great teacher!

Comment:

He's a nice guy and is very funny, but I wouldn't recommend taking a three hour lecture taught by him. It's very long and dry. Also, he'll says understands if you're an introvert and if you don't want to talk in class, and that he won't take points off your grade, but my grade dropped a whole letter grade because I was too shy to talk in class.

Treut is a good professor and a very nice man. I enjoyed having him as my teacher and he definitely is knowledgeable about the subject. The class had online quizzes that were in my opinion not easy and worth a lot of points for how short they were. So make sure to study for them.

I didn't found him funny at all and the final is tough! He gives you 70 questions in 60 minutes to be done on web study! that's how lazy he is, that way he doesn't have to grade it.

Professor Treut was one of the best professors I've had at RVCC. His lectures are hilarious. Also, you do a huge project in lieu of a final, which is really fun. You can turn in the assignments whenever, but don't put them off or else you'll be swamped when it comes time to do research for the final. Take his class. I guarantee you'll love it.

Such a down-to-earth and awesome guy. Interpersonal Comm is a very easy class. Read a chapter each week in the textbook and answer questions online. Definitely recommend taking!

Comment:

Prof. Treut is super easy. Just hand in the work and you'll get an A. The mid-term is just a short essay of your thoughts on the subject. You will need to read for weekly reading quizzes (on Webstudy), but the book is easy and enjoyable. He really cares about his students and the course material. He's also a total hippie and a chill dude. Loved him

Comment:

Prof. Treut is the nicest guy and a very competent teacher, but his huge problem is that he's way too nice. I do not think many students in my Speech class made any improvement and he's too easy going to make students work for a grade. This attitude is what kills RVCC.

Bick Treut is the man. I don't have enough words in my vocabulary to describe how awesome he is. Not only is he an expert in his field, but he is down to earth genuine guy who is easy to talk to and will make you feel comfortable in a classroom setting. Interesting material and hilarious jokesstories. Seriously worth it for COMM classes.

Bick is an amazing professor. I took his summer class and in class all we did was present our life stories. Outside of class was significant book work but it's not a lot if you manage your time. He gave me good college advice for when I transfer and he's really a genuine professor who loves what he does.

Comment:

Bick is THE BEST professor I've ever had. His philosophy is great and interesting. Very fair grader. A few papers including a midterm and final paper or presentation. No in-class tests. Gives quizzes based on the chapters in the book which are taken online and timed. 10 mins, ten questions. Pretty easy to get an A, as long as you do your work.
