40% of U of O graduates end up taking this class, as Dave is the only teacher. He does a great job of keeping an organized, semi-entertaining class.

AWESOME CLASS! One of the best teachers around.

Course was near a joke focusing on the online simulation. Didn't seems to do a whole lot of teaching with this in place. Decent teacher.
He was really nice and funny and class was fun even though i think business is boring, and i did very little work and got a 95%, so i was happy.
Dave does a greatr job teaching BA 101. I felt it was very informative.
This teacher enjoyed what he taught, and it made for a great learning experience.
helpful and funny
Smart, clear, and effective. A model professor.
Good, Funny, Efective
VERY GOOD TEACHER AND VERY ENTERTAINING!
he is really cute and funny
Dave is totally funny and willing to help students. I wish he had evening office hours.
Watching him teach was really exciting- he changed my life because I never thought I'd major in business.
this guy is very unorganized and his materials are all over the place. .. it is very confusing on what needs to be completed for each class... and he tries to be funny with his lame humor... i do not recomed taking his class.
Do not believe anything that is said from the girl below this. She complains about everything and doesn't like anyone. Dusseau is an awesome professor.
the cutest and funniest old man i know. The class is sooooo easy, all you need to do is go to class and BS the simulation and you will do fine. Only watch out for the Super Quizes, they are kinda hard. Has good stories and funny sound effects.
excellent teacher, good sense of humor
Great teacher, keeps class interested. You have to do the work and don't screw up on the midterm or Super Quizzes. Those are ur final grade.
BA 101 as an upper-division student is like having your brain gently massaged for 4 hours a week, and Dusseau made that experience entertaining, too. Plus I hear he's "squirrelly". However, Foundation is lame.
it was really hard to figure our what this guy was trying to teach and wut u had to do... he was confusing as heck!
it's hard to figure what exactly he wants, but i love a challenge
Best teacher at U of O. Made a 2 hour lecture on business not only entertaining, but also engaging. As long as you go to class and aren't stupid, the class is very easy.
Makes lame BA 101 a fun class to take. An easy A if you try.
class is boring
This class was somewhat interesting but the lectures were just boring...
i found his lectures(when i went) to be pretty entertaining and easy to sit through, not hard at all just have to pay attention to make sure you know what he is talking about. hes a pretty cool guy. makes some good/funny remarks.
Dave is awesome. The material isn't the most exciting stuff, but he makes the lectures entertaining, and he is a VERY FUNNY guy if you ask me.
BORING! so boring, huge lecture class in the morning - look around and youll find at least 30% of students sleeping LITERALLY. i had a dude who snored and twitched in his sleep next to me. Not the teachers fault, just boring material and too big a class for anyones good.
Had him Fall 2004. Long class- lots of activity. Lots of support. Didn't think I'd like it but did. Dave was funny and had lots of energy.

Made the class more interesting and was easier than the other teacher!

Dave is the man! Everytime I see him on campus I say "there goes Dave Dusseau, he's the man!"
Made business an interesting topic and kept me interested for two hours (most of the time). Every business student should have Dave Dusseau as a professor for at least one class.
He was hilarious and made a broad survey class a little better with humor
good teacher, made a boring subject as unboring as he could. made business very enjoyable, even if it was a 2 hour class at 7 in the morning
No Comments
makes a two hour class less horrible
Awesome teacher! Very funny!
I hated him!!!!
AWESOME! Dave you rock!!!
No Comments
Very helpful teacher and very understanding of the face that most people in the course are freshman.....
Dusseau is constantly annoying with his stupid space ship sounds and bad jokes. His class has no relevance to any Business you will learn in the major or the minor. We called him Dave the ****.
This man is a retard. He admitted to our class that his only relevant business experience was being the director of two separate non-profits, both of which failed under his leadership. He has no real world experience, and has nothing to offer his students but a grade in a ridiculous pre-requisite.

Rocks
Dusseau is the highest paid professor at the University. He assigns seats for 300 people and wastes your time and money with a business simulation. I only went to about four classes all term, and I didn't miss much. If you're considering a business major or minor, try slamming your head in the oven - it will probably educate you more than taking Dusseau's class.
I second the slamming your head in the fridge comment
pretty much the easiest class i took my whole college career
Dave is awesome!
Dave helped me believe in myself and my ability to learn things I wan't interested in.
Not exactly what I was expecting for a BA 101 class, but Dave made the class really fun. The simulation wasn't exactly my idea of fun, but I do admit that I learned a lot from this class. A lot of your grade is dependent upon your ability to manage your time and do things on time.
Dave is such a great teacher. He makes the class easy to understand, and fun.
I had this class two years ago- and am surprised at how much I remember. I was able to set up the books for my own business. I have been able to think clearly about a lot of issues that seem complex. I liked the goofy explanations and how much fun he seemed to have.
One of the best professors Ive ever had
About half of your grade comes from tests, which are mildly difficult. The other half of the glass are gimme points. If you pay attention in class, the in class work should be 100 percent, and Foundation not far behind. DD also makes one of the most bland subjects slightly entertaining. His jokes are kind of dry, but old-man funny. Good guy.
Dusseau is fun and interesting. With any other teacher this BLAND subject material would be even more boring but Dusseau makes it liveable. Show up to class and you'll get a good grade.
many easy points in this class for just attending. tests were hard but can make it up with the gimme points from in-class quizzes and doing foundations on time
I hate businss class. I liked Dave though. He helped me get through this class. You have to answer the questions and go see the tutors for help in Foundation.
Loved the teacher...but the class bored me to death..but not too bad got a good grade with almost no effort
Funny...the ethics talk at the end was the most memorable and in my opinion was the best lecture of the term....however the material is boring...but he makes it easy to get a good grade and the TA's will do your foundations assignment for you...
I love Dave. He is the nicest teacher I know- even though the class was huge.
FANTASTIC TEACHER. Very organized, clear, straight-forward and kind. Expectations are well defined and he cares that you understand. He uses interesting stories to illustrate his points. However, the material in general is dull if you've taken accounting.
I can only think of good things to say about Dave Dusseau. He's friendly, very knowledgable, and wants students to learn and will help in anyway he can. He used humor to liven up the long lectures and it was actually funny most of the time unlike many professors who try to use humor. He's a very reasonable grader and you know what's expected.
Dave is definately a great prof. The lectur hall is huge and the seats are super comfy, so try to stay awake! Foundation kinda sucks, but Dave really knows what he's talking about and is actaully pretty funny at times. Go to his office hours and meet him-he's a pretty cool guy.
Dave is a good instructor. Keeps things clear and simple and answers a lot of questions. Material does get dull at times, but Dave tries to keep everyone focused with enthusiasm and humor. A pretty good chance you will get him for BA 101, which is definitely not a bad thing!
It was a good class. I learned a lot. I had a similar class at CSU and it was horrible and boring. At first, running the simulaiton was confusing and I hated it... but met with Dave and he went over it with me and it turned out to be fun. I even ended up liking the numbers. I dominated.
Prof. Dusseau is GREAT and sooo funny! Makes a long class go by faster than others because he knows how to read students and appeal to their needs. - highly recommended
He was a cool guy. Boring class though.
great professor. became interested in business and accounting after taking his class.
with dave, business is fun. very funny guy, fond of talking to himself and the computer. funny stories and quotes! if you're mentally or physically absent you might have trouble, so show up and pay attention. the concepts are simple and a sixth grader could do the math required.
I enjoyed his classes
Very humorous, makes an 80 minute lecture interesting, gets the material covered.
He has a great sense of humor when he is teaching, which makes hte material fun to learn. He gets all of it covered, and he helps you until you understand. I recommend this class and furthermore I recommend this teacher.
Even though i completely suck at business and foundation... dusseau was definitely a good guy
Dusseau is a character- fun and energetic about the dryest parts of business. He makes it as entertaining as possible while reinforcing the importance of the class. Easy, but not too easy that your brain fries.
Dave is great. Really funny, very entertaining. I love his voice too. He makes things so increcibly simple that you'd have to actually try to fail it. Wonderful teacher, wonderful class.
Very funny guy and if you go, class is easy! The subject itself is dry and I dont think anyone could do any better in keeping you awake. A ton of material covered. Miss any classes though and good luck. If you go, you pass.
Really liked the class and enjoyed his sense of humor.
I graduated from the business school and I learned more from Dave in this one class than most of my others combined.
Awesome, very upbeat, very funny. explains material thoroughly and lets you know when something is important. He provides a colorful presentation of the material. I would take any of his business classes.
He makes class entertaining with jokes and dry humor. Good advice would be to not kill yourself over the reading and questions provided, he gives you everything you need to know in class so just take good notes and pay attention.

I'm in this class right now and its pretty sweet. DAVE U DA MAN!
Great teacher, keeps class interesting. In class quizzes easy way to get points but does require attendance.
He was an amazing teacher. He was really helpful in his office hours but wasn't the best at returning your e-mails. For what the material was he made it interesting.
I loved this class. He is clear and kind and funny. And he is cute.
dave is awesome. I learned as much as I could have from him in this subject. Make sure you do foundation on time and go into his office hours. Plus he's really funny one-on-one and he's interested in knowing about your interests (aka he'll hook you up with sweet connections). i recommend him for sure
I really liked Dave and the class. Both surprised me. Dave was enthusiastic and helpful and very kind. He is very clear and well organized. And cute. The simulation really hooked me- I like that I could try to apply what I know in running this business. I liked the clickers and in-class quizzes. The exams were harder than I thought.
dave rocks!!
Very funny teacher, wasn't very nice one-on-one however. Didn't seem very willing to help. Got most help from GTF's. The foundation program was hell!
Dave is by far the best professor I have had at UO. He makes his subject interesting and fun to learn. He was very personable, great lecturer and was knowledgeable and helpful. Dave sets you up for success in his class... in fact, it is downright hard to do badly. I highly recommend this course.
WAY to intense topics for an intro class, he didn't even go into a lot of what he talked about or would be vague about a subject in class then go off on it on a test.
Great Teacher. Has been my favorite at UO. Lectures were very clear, and easy to talk to. The Final was broken into two seperate tests, which was very helpful.
AWESOME!!! Lectures can seem long, but he doesn't get pissed off if you get restless. He makes jokes all the time. If you pay attention, then you will pass the class. He is very willing to listen to anything you have to say. At first you seem like you don't have a clue, but that's normal. He simply rocks!!!
The class is kind of boring at times but Dave is, simply, the man. Very helpful and extrememly humorous.
Hilarious!!
Amazing teacher!
Very good class despite boring material. No final :) Class is easy as long as you pay attention in class. Attendance is mandatory even in a class as big as this - he has polling questinos to check attendance. Would recommend if you are at all curious about business. Funny and engaging professor
He is very helpful and willing to instruct each of his students individually. Also, he is very understanding to personal problems and helps to ease any discomfort you may have with the class regarding grades, coursework, etc.
SO funny! He made business interesting!
One of the better teacher of UO. I recommend him for BA101. He is an awesome professor
I loved this class. The simulaiton confused me in the beginning- but I went in for help and it changed my whole term. Dave spent time with me and made sure I understood all of the decisions. After tht it was fun. He treated me like I was a real person. Plus I just liked him as a person.
Dusseau is the best
Dusseau lied to me- he said it was easy and fun. It was't easy- but it did end uup being fun- AFTER I figured out Foundation. Tutors are helpful. Dusseau was really helpful in office hours... make him go over your decisions once and it makes more sense. Dusseau is funny / quirky. A bit of a dork but it all works out well for a such big class
Tops my list of teacher for the year. No one can beat this guy. Long live Dave!
Anyone who says this class isn't unfairly easy is sadly mistaken. Dave is a phenomenal professor. He explains everything very clearly. For the most part, those who don't understand his class or the simulation did not go to class or do the homework. There are unlimited resources for this class. He even gives you every answer for quizzes in class.
best teacher. easy fun class. not easy to get 'A'. Exams are confusing.
Dusseau does a great job keeping 300+ student classes interested. He's nice, funny, and is a great teacher. The class is well designed too!
HES GREAT
Getting an A on tests requires that you actually study all the material very well, but as a college student anyone should expect that. His assignments are not graded, just given points for being turned in. He's a little harsh on himself, but everyone really likes him. He does a good job with the class. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TEACHER.
This class was pretty easy and he is a great teacher.
great professor, the course is challenging but dave makes it very interesting, therefore it is relatively easy, he is funny and tells cheesy stories, has a good voice. intro to business is an excellent class with dave.
Awesome guy, makes the class very entertaining and easy to absorb. I hated the subject material but he made the class quite likeable.
AWESOME PROF. He presents the material to you with examples relevent today and to college students. Even though 101 is an XL lecture class he keeps your attention. Fairly easy, interactive work as well!! Best Busines prof I encountered w/ a BA minor.
TRIPLE D!!!! Dr. Dave Dusseau is an awesome teacher. You have to work in the class (especially foundation) in order to get a reasonable grade, however just watching him lecture every class is entertainment in itself. He's too funny, especially how critical he is on himself. Great class, even better prof. Probably the best at UO! Thanks Triple D!
One of the best teachers I have ever had. This was my first business class and I learned a lot from him. He made class interesting and easy to understand while teaching important concepts. If you are interested in business or thinking about a business minor, you should definitely take this class.
He's simply awesome!
FANTASTIC professor. Extremely funny and interesting, makes fun of himself, makes jokes that he knows college kids will appreciate. Made me love this class, I would highly recommend him to anyone.
nice teacher,warm-hearted,patient.
Great lecturer. He is a good guy and fun too. His classes are not easy but he is always willing to work with people that have a problem. Definitely human.
doug wilson's better...
Nice guy and good class. Just read the material and go to class and this isn't too difficult. At first it seems overwhelming but it gets easier.
Awesome teacher!
Dave is the man. He is really funny and his class is always entertaining, until week 6 when you are bored out of your mind. The class is based around this simulator so you learn more about that then actual business.
GREAT TEACHER! funny, energetic, understanding, gives all the power points, well organized. I wasn't great at BA but he made it really fun. love this guy!
He is an excellent professor! His lecture is very clear, he is very helpful in and off the class, he is humorous and great looking :D Very enjoyable class!
Great teacher, and a cool guy. Keeps the class pretty entertaining, even though a lot of the simulation material is pass-out-in-class boring. I thought I wasn't learning enough actual concepts until I got to other biz classes and I found myself recalling the simulation to remember things. If you have to take BA101, take it with Dave.
GREAT CLASS! GREAT PROFESSOR EVER!~
Great Professer in all level.
Explains things very well, gives great real life examples. And he is funny.
Great guy
Dave is an awesome guy. He is really motivated towards making students understand material with good analogies. Also he is very helpful with emails and office hours. Definitely recommend take BA with him
Professor Dusseau is a great professor. His PowerPoints are a bit confusing at times, but he's very attentive and is good at evaluating how well the class is paying attention and understanding the material. Be sure to complete the (ungraded) homework and you'll get a good grade. Definitely recommended.
Favorite Prof at the U of O. Extremely smart, sometimes loses me when he talks. Very funny guy, RECOMMENDED!
Great class, obviously a requirement for the Business Major but its fairly easy as long as you do the work and attend class.
He is an amazing and funny professor!!! Exams are pretty hard, but he doesn't blame it on the students. He likes to create positive stress. He's a GREAT professor!!!! I would want to take a class he teaches again!
GREAT TEACHER! had him for both BA 101 and 240. I always looked forward to his classes because his teachings were interesting. Tests are pretty hard sometimes but he is fair. Highly recommend !
Fabulous professor
Great instructor, class was difficult at times but he was available to answer questions through email or in person. Created a positive learning environment and openly communicated with all students.
interesting professor but the class is based around a business simulation that dominates the class and doesn't truly reflect what you learned in the class but rather reflects your math skills and guessing ability.
Dusseau is a cool dude. He knows what he's talking about and i thought he was very approachable. Tries his hardest to make sure people understand intro to business
he knows what he is talking about and makes sure to teach the material in a very clear and concise way. he also outlines the class very well so you know what is expected of you...i would recommend highly!!!
A fantastic professor. If you are going into the business field, take as many classes from him as you can! He has BEEN THERE, DONE THAT. This is a man who made it in the private sector, then became a professor. He is happy to share his immense knowledge whether it concerns academics, business, or life. Super approachable, and just a great guy.
I know I'm in the minority here but I did not enjoy his teaching or the class. He is a nice guy but he has his class set up with Mandatory attendance, then he lectures on the assignment that you already did. I spent all of my time teaching myself Excel and then going and being bored in class.
Funny guy. Labs were hard for me.
He likes curve the grade!
He's very knowledgeable, but he changed our class to where he made up his own test questions, took out online quizzes, and did not allow us to have a cheat sheet, like previous terms. Obsessed with catching cheaters, hard tests, sometimes frustrating Excel homework. If you have a PC, you'll be good though. Adequate class
Great professor. Up for answering questions whenever you raise your hand or send him an e-mail. He is extremely nice and has taken on the Excel and Access challenge of teaching this class. He has been trying his best to teach the class without cheating. One of my favorite professors. I talk with him when I get the chance about my other classes.
Awesome teacher, very clear and articulate. For nearly a two hour class he makes organizes his class with a good pace and very clear powerpoint presentation. I would definitely recommend him as a teacher.
Easy class, good teacher, would recommend.
The class is focused around an online business simulation, weekly quizzes, and two midterms. The class was doable if study. The midterms were fair and questions had all been presented before. Go to his office hours he loves to help! Also use the tutors for help with the simulation. He is very organized and his blackboard page is always up to date.
Dave was my favorite professor this term. He makes you want to listen because he says witty and funny little jokes. You don't even have to read the text to comprehend everything that's learned. Pretty easy class but make sure when it comes to Capsim, the online business simulation, you know what your doing. It will matter at the end of the term.
So far, Dusseau has been my favorite prof. He is super funny and is incredibly helpful during office hours. Midterm and Final are easy if you study. His powerpoints can be a bit confusing, but he is always more than happy to clarify things.
FAVORITE BUSINESS PROFESSOR!
I had a hard time in this class. However, it gives you all BA fundamentals which helped me realize that business is not for me. He is very charismatic and walks you through any problems. He made going to a 2 hour, 8am enjoyable.
Great professor, always available. I took two classes with him, he has been nothing but helpful. His classes are straight forward, Exams are m/c and predictable. Highly recommended.
Show up for class and do quizzes and foundation rounds on time and you'll get a B for sure. Do well on all these things and you'll get an A. Be wary MAC users don't swipe back by accident on the quizzes. you won't a third chance. I did it countless times last fall term and always messed up my score.
BA 240 was a pretty easy class. Just really easy. But I really enjoyed having David as my professor. I could tell he has a lot of experience and he is funny and clearly teaches things and he does a good job. Responds to emails too. The class for me was PassNo Pass
This guy is great, boring class but it's one you have to take. Regardless it's not hard if you pay attention.
He is a great teacher I ever had. He's funny, and it makes the course is easy. Highly recommended to take this class with him!!!
Very funny, but in an awkward way. He is very helpful to anyone that needs the help. Class is PassNo pass
He is super chill and he is helpful. For a person that had never used excel before, this class wasn't too bad but Dusseau is the man! and totally makes this class worth it. If you are gonna suffer through this class do it with him as your teacher
Prof Dusseau is the best! He truly cares about you and your success. He gets really mad if its apparent that you don't care or especially if you cheat, but don't be stupid and you will be fine. His passion for teaching is clear and I learned so much even though I took that class at 8:30am. Excel is life and Prof D can show you why.
Dave Dusseau is the best teacher I've ever had. He is really helpful and wants you to succeed. Attend the classes, do the assignments and you should easily get a good grade. He made the class interesting and he's a funny teacher. If you have to take this class, take it with him!! I highly recommend him
Dusseau is the man. His lectures are hilarious and he makes it worth waking up early in the morning. He's an extremely nice and respectable guy, but I didn't feel very prepared for the tests. There's lots of material you have to cover on your own and try to teach yourself. Ended up with an 87%, but it was rounded up to A-. Much respect for him!
Dusseau is one of the best professors that I have had. He is very funny in the awkward kind of way and that gives the lectures more flavor. Would easily take another class from him. He says the textbook is mandatory, but he posts all the readings online.
He is so nice!
Best teacher ive ever had. Keeps you engaged during the entire lecture.
Dave is a wonderful lecturer, very funny, and an all around great guy. Highly recommend any course he teaches.
He's an amazing teacher, he gives many opportunities through tutoring that will help you excel in the class. Go to tutoring and they will literally do your work for you. All the quizzes were easy since they were online. The class isn't difficult if you spend out of class time doing the work. He always try's to keep students interested. I loved it!
Great professor, a good amount of humor, and a very easy class.
Dave is awesome. He is super funny and clearly knows what he's talking about. His class is also a lot harder than the other BA101 classes, but clicker points, knowing the quizzes and going to Foundation tutoring make it not hard to get an A.
This is hard i would take BA 101 with another professor. Midterms are tough.
Funny Great professor .. Hard class lots of vocabulary every week quiz.. over all recommend this professor
Super chill
DAVE IS FAVE! Honestly didn't like the material (it's a lot), but I really enjoyed Dave. Failed both midterms, ended with a 79.9% but with a curve I ended with a solid B. iClicker questions for attendance/points, two multiple choice midterms & weekly online quizzes. The class is organized and daily syllabus/practice exams are helpful. Dave rocks!
One of my absolute favorite professors!!!! I struggled a bit in a beginning, but he gave tons of extra credit; the iClicker quizzes were easy; and he is a great teacher! So funny and so chill.
This class was a LOT of work. Foundation capsim is not fun & should be a class on it's own. Be prepared to go to the tutors for all the answers cause no one knows how to do it. Quizzes are online at end of the week and are fine. Tests are tough! Pulled an A though cause of a 5% curve at the end. Be prepared to work hard but you'll get through it.
Dave is the best professor I've ever had
David Dusseau is a good teacher to introduce you to business. He helps you with the clicker questions so you are going to get 15/15 most of the time. If you keep up with the homework and go to class you will pass.
He's so sweet and if you go in to his office hours, he'll make sure you get the grade you want.
Like 20% of the class grade is based on how well you do on a business simulation. Made the class very difficult to get a good grade in if you had a bad first few weeks.
Dave is absolutely amazing. Though his class was difficult I learned a lot. Its obvious that hes very knowledgeable in his fueld. He also really cares about his students. I had a friend pass away right before finals and he want above and beyond to make sure I was prepared in a very difficult time for me. A true gem.
Great all around guy. Genuinely wants to help you get a good grade. Class isn't difficult if you pay attention in class. As for Foundation, don't do outside research since there's tons of different types of simulations out there (I messed this part up). And take loans, it might sound dumb but it increases your stock a ton.
His assignments are clearly laid out on canvas about what to do and when it is due. Just show up to class for the lectures and do the assignments on time and this class should be an easy A.
Dave is an awesome man. He is so kind and willing to help his students. His lectures can get a little boring, however, he makes it worth it. Be prepared to read a lot and memorize terms. There 3 exams total, no final. His exams are fairly easy if you attend his class and study. If you are considering to take BA101, try and get him!
Dusseau is a great professor. There's a lot of homework online so don't miss it or you won't get an A. Also the class is very test heavy but don't worry because he curves. He usually gives all the iclicker questions so you'll naturally get a 10/10, so don't skip class. If you put in the effort this class is an easy A.
Dave is the man. Show up to class and take good notes. Econnect is the easiest component of this class, so DO NOT miss the deadlines its not that hard. I would say where I see most students struggling is with Mike's Bikes. Get help with it right away if you don't understand anything.
Excellent professor. His class is not hard and his lectures are great. Even though I had his class at 8am I still enjoyed showing up. His exams include some topics that are discussed in class and not only in the slides and reading, so much sure you show up. He is very friendly and funny!!
Dave is a very funny and entertaining teacher. Business 101 is an introductory class so there is a lot of information to learn. That being said he lectures are never boring and he is there to help if you need him.
Dave is THE BEST! He is so hilarious and really cares about what he teaches. He's already retired but decided to come back because "This is what I do for FUN!". He always had the whole class laughing and kept us engaged. There is a "quiz" every class using the iClicker, but half the time he helps with the answer. He's the best.
Definitely one of the best professors at UO! His lectures are entertaining and you can tell he really enjoys teaching. There is randomly a lot of homework in this class but its a very easy subject so it doesn't take long. As long as you go to class and don't miss any deadlines this should be an easy A.
While Dave was fun and amusing, he failed to live up to what I wanted in a business professor. The tests were completely based off of what we read in the books. The lectures only went over a choice few topics ( book too)and he went through the slides so quickly it was hard to take notes. He seemed to be really knowledgable though so that's a plus.
I love Dave Dusseau and would take this class over again with him a million times. Take it. He's an incredible prof.
I was doing okay in his class and then I unexpectedly had to miss a week 7 after a friend died and Dave was incredibly supportive and helpful. He gave me extra notes, supplemental assignments, extensions and exemptions to ensure that I could do well in his class as well as checking in with me after every lecture. Amazing educator and person.
The book was really helpful and interactive. His lectures basically repeat what you read the night before. DO YOUR HOMEWORK or you will not pass. Tests are difficult, but not impossible. Amazing professor and really makes sure you understand. iClicker required so show up. Mikes Bikes simulation is fun, but hard and you must remember to do it!
Although he only teaches BA101 he really cares for his students. Very personable, lectures are interesting, stories are funny, and just an all around great guy. Take his class, you won't regret it.
The best professor I have had so far. Keeps it interesting. Cares deeply for students and always replies to emails promptly. He is hilarious and understanding. Overall great man. Take his class!
Makes the lecture fun and interesting. Prepares you for exams and assists with Mikes Bikes. super laid back and here for your success. 10/10 would recommend!
Dave Dusseau is a truly amazing professor, at least for the class I had (BA 101). I took this class at 8 am and he made it less worse by having interesting and entertaining lectures. The class is not difficult. If you put in the work for mikesbikes and the textbook, it's an easy A.
Really fun guy! As long as you study the textbook and do all of your assignments, you'll get a good grade. Very understanding and makes long classes interesting with his examples. Offers really nice extra credit opportunities too!
He's a really nice professor and he usually will give you the answer to the in-class iclicker questions. If you show up to class and do the work, you'll be fine. You do have to buy the connect online textbook which is kinda spendy.
loved him! He was so nice and understanding and teaches the material clearly. Just do the assigned stuff and you'll pass with a B- or higher.
Amazing professor! So sweet and actually cares for his students!
Easiest and best class I've taken at UO. He gives the answer to every class clicker quiz so just show up. The tests are exactly like his lectures... sometimes you get out early. Go to tutoring for mikes bikes. There is literally no reason anyone should get below a B in this class. He's very helpful and the homework is easy.
Very nice, funny and engaging! Lectures every class but he tries to make them quick
David is great! He really knows how to condense a lot of content down in a way that is clear and engaging. An absolute shame that he won't be teaching much longer. Take him while you still can! There's a lot of reading for sure, but it's necessary for tests and midterms. Use his chapter guidelines to study, they're super helpful. + he's funny :)
Dusseau is a very down to earth professor. Attendance is defined by I-Clicker questions, which he makes an effort to give the answers. Exams are not hard if you prepare for them. Lectures are long but he makes it worth showing up with hilarious anecdotes.
Great teacher overall. Class was super easy to follow and the lectures were great.
The course was super organized and as long as you did the reading and go to class, it is pretty easy. Midterms are exactly what you learn in class. He also adds 6.5 percent to your grade instead of curving tests. Super funny /engaging lectures and you always get out of class early.
Beware of the book assignments. They are "cheap points" as David calls them, and they are but I have seen some of my classmates ignore them, which ended up affecting their chances of getting an A. No finals but you have to actually study for the midterms as the three of them combined are 550 out of 1065 possible points, 900 points being an A-
Dave is the man! He is funny, charming, and understands his students. He is aware that his students have other responsibilities besides his class and it reflects in his coursework. You are lucky if you're in his class.
Funny guy very chill
Dave is a very entertaining guy and a good professor. My biggest complaint is that it was difficult to stay awake in class, as the majority of the content was so painfully straightforward. Dave is great, but the class material is unbearable. I never studied and did phenomenally on all assignments/exams. If you know what profit is, you'll do great.
Great Professor who genuinely cares about his student's grades and education. Funny too!
He's goated. Very funny guy, super clear grading standards. Be prepared to read a lot and lectures are 2 hours long. But doing the work you needed will get you at least a B.
