he is the best teacher in the whole communications department. If you ever have to take a com class take him no matter what the subject , hes good in it. but you have to go to class so if you dont like going to class he is not for you

He is one of the three best teachers i've had in my life. Intersting class, great humor! Take him for anything, you have to work but it's worth it.

I love dave!! his humor is soo funny & u can really relate to him. He's soo good at explaining things, and his tests are hard but it's worth it because you really understand what hes talking about

Very thorough...not easy by any stretch, but you'll get a lot out of it if you pay attention.

Although the class is a little bit challenging has a great way of making things easy to grasp like his use of movie clips. He is definately one of the best professors in the com. dept.

Dave makes the class fun! He's hilarious!

he rules

I LOVED Dave !! Awesome sense of humor! I enjoyed going to his summer class every morning.. You work hard in his class, but you really learn alot from him. He always shows movie clips in class. Not to mention very cute also.. Take Dave, Trust me! ! ! !

I love Dr. Dave. First off he is just so adorable and he makes the class so interesting. I think that he is the best teacher that I have had in my four years a WCU. He challenges you and I love it when he wears suspenders!!!

David is a GREAT prof!!! He loves examples and that is so helpful! I would encourage everyone to take him at least once! Just remember to do the readings! ;)

i wish i could**** him instead of RATE him

He was a great teacher, I loved the movie examples, he is very understanding and he helped me do very well in the class.

The coolest. Great movie examples. Fun class always. Great lecturer.

I'm so depressed because I can't take anymore COM classes. No more Levasseur is a sad thing. waaahhh!! :(

LOVE HIM! if his humor is dry, oh well at least he tries. He shows movie clips everyday to make things easy to understand & if you have a Q, just ask-he'll spell it out for you. Ask him to look at your paper before its due and you'll get an A. He wants you to do good and offers lots of extra credit

hes a real cutie!!<but hes married now but whatevrr n i really like his "dry" sense of humor. he explains stuff really well n he breaks it down with movie clips like "friends"..its the shizzz dawg

GOOD prof. very dry sense of humor, but its funny. loves movies, Ladies Man, kinda pompous and arogant, thinks he's really hot. All in all, he is a great teacher and i would take him again. FUnny as hell!!

Took Interpersonal Com. w/ Dr. Levasseur. He kept the class interesting and used excellent examples to illustrate points in the material. Anyone who is open to learning should take a class with him!

He's cool, makes class fun. Tests are really hard, but he offers alot of extra credit.

He is a great professor, had him for public speaking too. His classes are interesting because he uses great examples to explain the concepts. Always makes sure you understand the material. Tests are not extremely hard, if you study. But he always gives guides. He's a little arogant...but not too bad.

awesome professor... good teacher but very hard grader... i learned a lot

real adorable & funny. says the funniest things that make u laugh for days. class is hard, but its what you make of it. he is real fair though.

Great teacher. Awesome examples. Really has his stuff together. He has a dry sense of humor, makes for an interesting class. He's really good at explaining the material. As long as you read the book, take good notes and read the web chapters you'll be good to go. His tests are on exactly what he says they're on. Take his class!

I was so afraid of taking comm. theory this semester...but Dr. Levassuer made it fun and interesting. He uses great examples from movies and TV shows to effectively teach what's in the book. Take good notes and you'll do great.

GREAT PROFESSOR, YOU CAN NEVER BE BORED IN HIS CLASS. YOU HAVE TO READ, READ, READ. THAT IS THE KEY TO DOING GOOD IN THE CLASS.

Dr. Levasseur is an amazing professor. The class seems intimidating at first but after a while you will get the hang of it. he explains everything very well and clear. Even though it's a large lecture type of class you have to ask questions when needed. And READ! That's a must! Loved the class!

He's such a good guy and teacher. He shows movie clips almost every class and really wants you to understand the material. So far, our exams have only been short multiple choice which is awesome. Make sure you read all of the assignments. He gives extra credit as well.

Good professor. Gives great examples every class through use of TV and film clips. Does a good job explaining things, although it is a large lecture. Says "utterance" and "notion" a lot, and if you're paying attention to that it gets kind of annoying. Otherwise, not a difficult class if you do the assigned readings and cram before the exams.

Great Prof but difficult class. Uses lots of examples from film and tv to explain the material. Do ALL of the extra credit he offers. Go to class even though it is not required. The final exam is very difficult study for it as soon as possible.

You may hear the class is hard, but whoever told you this didn't do the work. Yes, it's a lot of work, but LeVasseur makes it fun and interesting with examples and movie clips. He is the GREATEST teacher I have ever come across and I look forward to his class everyday. Do the readings, extra credit and especially the exercises and you'll do fine.

David is great... best professor i've encountered @ WC. He's clear and uses great examples. It's no easy ride though. This class is tough and you have to study hard. You don't have to read the book, but read what he talks about at reviews. Do Xtra credit. And attendence isn't required...but GO TO CLASS...it will help so much. and take good notes!

He is an AMAZING TEACHER, and I'll say it again.. AMAZING!. David explains COM219 extrememly well with great examples and an explosive personality. You should attend every class although not mandatory, as well do all the extra-credit you can and read the textbook and online chapters!!! They help tremendously. I promise you will enjoy his class

Great professor. Uses lots of examples to prove points(lots of movie clips). Go to class, take notes, read assigned chapters and you'll get an A on every test. He hates the phone use so stray away. LAUGH AT HIS JOKES! They may not be funny but he's a really great guy as well as mentor.

WELL WORTH YOUR MONEY AND TIME - HARVARD MATERIAL - YOU BETTER NOT LEAVE WCU WITHOUT TAKING HIS CLASSES

Started off the semester by giving advice from previous students. Listen to their advice! Buy a big notebook, take a LOT of notes in class (even tape record if you want), and read every chapter, every time. Study in advance, the night before will be no help. Try to introduce yourself, if he recognizes you, he will help you. Great class, great prof.

Wonderful! He knows what he's talking about! Makes subject relatable to every day life & uses PLENTY of examples (film clips) to make topic easier to grasp. Funny/corny sense of humor & fair grader; offers extra credit. Class isn't HARD, it's college-level. Attend. not mand. but SUGGESTED! Take good notes, READ CHAPTERS IN BOOK, & you'll get an A.

Very tough and strict grader, but knows his stuff backwards and forwards; extremely thorough. Useful class- practical value to other areas of school or life. Discussions were always interesting/ entertaining; made u want to be there.

I loved this class! The tests are HARD! I thought I had EVERY theory down pat for the first test and I failed miserable. I recommend re-reading every chapter before the EXAM, and outlining the ones he doesn't go over in class. The class is very enjoyable!

Well, he is a nice guy and will help you if you go to him for help. I would say read, read, read, read the textbook. Also, I would suggest that you don't take another hard class along with this because you will suffer. This class will have you spend the whole night just trying to understand what the text book says. Also, study your a** off.

The best professor I had all semester. He is extremely helpful, clear, and teaches the material extremely well. You get to watch a lot of clips and he is really nice. Attendance is not mandatory.

I wasn't interested in the class, but I thought that David was a great teacher. He was extremely knowledgeable and very willing to help you with anything you didn't understand. Tests weren't necessarily straightforward,but you can do well in the class without doing great on the tests. I'd take him again

I loved this class!! he really know's how to teach well and keep the students interested. STUDY HARD for the tests, they are sometimes very tricky..if you don't understand something see him right away and he'll explain it to you..def take him!

Nice and funny. He is very clear in how he explains his theories but his tests are hard. You must attend every class and make sure to read all the chapters assigned.

Dr. LeVasseur is definitely not an easy grader, but he knows his stuff and he makes class fun and interesting. Definitely one of the best professors I've had at WCU. I would recommend this class to any COM major who needs an upper level...it's fun!

As a sophomore, this has been my favorite class thus far. Dr. Levasseur makes the class very entertaining. This along with a the clarity provided in the lectures make attendance very helpful. Outside of the classroom, every question or concern was given adequate attention. GREAT Professor!

LOVED THIS CLASS! He makes sure to relate to students through their interests like movies and dating. His humor made want to go to his 10am class. It was a challenging class, but it was fine if you put some work into it!

David sure knows his stuff. It might seem like it will be a walk in the park but it is not. attendance is not mandatory but go to class, Read READ READ the book, and ask questions. Asking to go over the tests with him helps a lot too.

He's a great teacher, makes theories really clear and understandable. Also tries to keep away from the boring lecture style that most classes with over 200 people in them have. I would definitely recommend taking him for any comm classes you can.

LOVE him, but his tests are really hard. if your not a good test taker study A LOT, i did and still only got a C but he is an awesome professor and the theories are actually interesting if you pay attention. i would definitely recommend him

Dr. Levasseur is my favorite professor thus far attending west chester. He is extremely intelligent and definitely knows his stuff. I will warn you his tests are EXTREMELY hard, questions are worded tricky, make sure you know the theories front and backwards, if you know your stuff you'll be good. His class is SOO fun! take it!

This class is not a walk in the park. Make sure to read the text book and pay close attention to the lectures because his test are tricky. overall this class was great he makes the material interesting to learn. Levasseur has a great personality so dont be scared to ask for help.

Had theory & poli com with him. lots of work(reading books, articles, 10 min presentation, tests, pop quizes, final, etc) loves to make students feel stupid if they dont know an answer. great teacher, uses his own text book so the material is easy to understand. theory was way harder than poli com. i had 0 interest in politics but now i enjoy it

Professor Levasseur has been my favorite prof in the department. I took him for Political Com and Com Theory, and did very well both times. His class is difficult; however, he is incredibly helpful and usually offers extra credit. By the end of the semester, you have learned a lot about the subject, and will actually be interested in it.

I loved taking this class. He made everything really interesting. The textbook that he uses also makes it really cool. Definitely take him for Comm Theory! But make sure that you study from the textbook for the tests. They can be really hard.

I love this man. Not necessarily an easy A, but definitely attainable with good notes and studying. Tests are all very fair. I would recommend taking LeVasseur to literally anyone. This was by far my favorite class I've taken in my time here.

Levasseur is the absolute best professor I've ever had. I recommend him to absolutely everyone. He is so clear and good at lecturing that it makes it very easy to pay attention and therefore do well in his class. The lowest test grade I got in his class was a 92. He also cares about his students a lot and makes himself very accessible Take him!!!!

He's a really nice guy, pretty funny and knows his stuff. Make sure you do all of the readings and even if you aren't good at politics, you will get by! Go to class as well...

He was the best professor I have had so far. He is really fun and uses great examples to help you understand the material. I always looked forward to his class. Make sure to read the text you don't cover in class for the tests.

GREAT professor. The guy really knows his stuff and knows how to teach it. Its a tough class but if you read the book and take notes you should do fine. He does a lot to help you , and he's funny as hell. He actually managed to make com theory interesting! Take this class, but don't slack off.

I am taking the hybrid class, which means we can watch online lectures. These lectures however are not from the same semester, so I would strongly recommend going to class. It is a tough class, but he makes sure that people understand the material and is super helpful. He is also really funny. Don't slack and you'll do fine.

Dr. LeVasseur is so friendly and helpful. Any homework consists of watching online lectures and all quizzes are based on them. If you watch the lectures, you'll easily get an A in the quiz category. No tests, and final is extremely easy. Be prepared to talk a lot. Take your speeches seriously, but have fun with them. No textbook is necessary.

Great guy and good professor but class is extremely hard. You have to read the book from cover to cover more than one time or else you won't understand anything. Class is interesting and you watch a lot of movie clips but you have to take really good notes AND DO THE EXTRA CREDIT. Tests are extremely tough.

Dr. Levasseur is great! Although his instructions are very clear, I don't know many that got A's on speeches. However, he gives lots of very easy extra credit opportunities, and the quizzes are easy and based on his online lectures. It's nice to be able to rewindpause when taking notes. Attendance is mandatory, but I never minded going to class!

The best teacher I have ever had. He makes you work for your grade but if you take his course you will learn something that will stick with you for the rest of your life. He is funny, understanding and works hard to give the material in a exciting fashion. If you're someone who wants to come out of a class with valuable knowledge.. Take him.

He's an awesome professor, be sure to read all of the chapters and understand everything in them because on the exams, he wants you to apply your knowledge and concepts you've learned by providing example questions in full detail, then you chose the correct one.

Really great professor. Makes a really big effort to connect with each student on some level and spends A LOT of time making sure that his online lectures really help the students understand the information. I would definitely take another class with him! That being said, be ready to work your ass off for your grade. No slacking with this guy!

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!

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.

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.

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!!

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.

Awesome guy. Best professor I've had.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

Passionate about his job, definitely knowledgeable on communications and public speaking, cares about helping his students, funny, etc. Definitely take his class. One of the better professors I've had at this university.

Dr. Levasseur is amazing, I was skeptical at first when taking Com219 bc I had a friend who said his class was impossible. But it truly matters that you put the effort in. He cares a lot about his students, wrote me recommendation letters after graduation. Took 2 more classes with him, Advance Com Theory and Advance Pub Speaking. HIGH RECOMMEND.

I took the Honors version of public speaking and I learned an incredible amount. He is truly passionate about the topic, and wants to see everyone succeed. However, he does make you work for your grade and earn every point. Don't let this deter you; you will get better at public speaking as you speak in front of the class pretty much daily.

Dr. Levasseur is great! He makes his lectures very engaging, interesting, and enjoyable! He clearly cares about his students, and is hilarious! Although you definitely have to work for your grade and spend a significant amount of time reading, it is totally doable. Plus, there are a ton of extra credit options that can get you a lot of points!

This class was fun and levasseur made it interesting. He is a really smart guy and knows way too much about communication and political theory for the average person, but this class was enjoyable

He is academically knowledgeable and great at explaining. However, if I could rate my personal experience with him, I'd give him a 1 out of 5. Zero, if I could. He called me cold and years later I still remember it. I was going through a lot. Compassion would've been nice, but I guess you get what you give. Now I know to use boundaries.

Such a good teacher. Very engaging and knows how to talk to students. Knows how to make lectures interesting and engaging. Made public speaking not as scary and always felt comfortable talking in his class.

Do not miss class. That is the best advice I can give someone taking Dr.Levasseur's class. If you miss class and don't do the online lectures, you will not have a good time in this class. If you do show up to class and do the work, you will be treated to an easy, but very informative class. Dr.Levasseur is a great guy and knows what he's doing!

I will never get sick of people who complain about this class. It's only as hard as you make it. This is one of the only classes where the professor is extremely organized, plans ahead, and cares about his students. You can tell how passionate he is about his job, and doesn't set you up for failure. Would take again.

Dr. Levasseur is a nice guy and he is very understanding. I have a fear in public speaking and he helped me through it when I visited his office hours. This class is pretty difficult but you can still manage to do good in this class. His class is a flipped classroom, so the lectures are online.

He was great I had him for a class and he totally changed my way of thinking when using computers or phones during class. They were not allowed he would take points off if he saw you using it. I think he was funny and always encouraging us to learn!

LeVasseur is a good teacher, thought he makes some odd comments some times. He really tries to relate to his students and care for them. He is relatively flexible about due dates. He cares about his students and asks them about their day. This class is VERY heavy in watching video lectures which is SO annoying.

The professor is knowledgeable and engaging, but the workload can be intense. Attending lectures and using resources like unstuck AI for study prep really helps. Definitely doable if you put in the effort, but be prepared for a challenge.

He isn't my favorite person in the world, but he is the best educator I have ever had. He puts effort in remembering information about students, and asks questions about their personal life in a good way. A lot of reading, but quizzes are easy if you actually read. He wants you to pass, and will help you as long as you do the work.

He is a great professor, just be ready to allocate a good amount of time to his class. He is very good at explaining material and helping with your learning, but there is just a lot of work. He is a very kind and funny person, and makes class tolerable!

Dr. Levasseur is a great professor. He makes it very clear what he expects from students and what you need to do in order to pass/get a good grade. There is time you will need to devote outside of class to preparing a speech or watching lectures, but it is not bad because you are given ample time to prepare. Endless extra credit opportunities.

Really enjoyed taking public speaking with Dr. Levasseur! The class could be challenging with workloads at times,but I felt like I walked away having learned a lot. Levasseur cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He provided various extra credit opportunities. Can be a bit of a biased/unfair grader but overall I had a good experience!

Dr. Levasseur is very much into public speaking. Class was generally pretty easy work wise, but Dr. Levasseur can be a tough grader on speeches. However, there is a lot extra credit. If you're not much of a public speaker, he might not be very enthusiastic towards you though. Overall, generally pretty easy but likely challenging for quiet students.

I'm not in the honors college & took this class by accident, but I'm so glad I did. He's the kindest, most understanding, & knowledgeable prof I've ever had. Yes, there's a lot of work & I had to work my butt off for a good grade. But this is the 1st class where I genuinely learned sm. He's the best prof at this school, I'd recommend to everyone!

I took him in the spring and will be retaking him this fall, this coming semester. He is a hard grader, but if you have questions, he will help you, whether that's at 10 pm or 6 am. Be prepared, though, to watch all lectures online, work, and participate in class. He is an exceptional teacher who treats everyone with great care and consideration.

Awesome professor and awesome class. Really enjoyed the lectures and really felt like I walked out understanding communication better and feeling like a better communicator. I'm not usually someone who likes readings, but I felt motivated to for this class because they were interesting and Dr. L marries them into lectures well. Would recommend!
