Reviews of professor Robert Courville

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Rob is a great lab TA. He made the lab clear and understandable and was always very prepared. His midterm was difficult but his final was fair. Very easy to talk to and creates a good environment in the class. Always had fun in his class. One lab report, and it is really easy. I enjoyed my time in class with Rob! I just got Rob'ed!

Really great guy. Genuinely cares about how his students are doing and wants them to succeed. There are lectures but not boring and don't take up too much class time. No tests. Just pre-labs that are turned in online before class starts and in class lab work. Overall not a difficult class and Robert makes it very easy to learn and retain. 10/10.

I've never written a post here before, but Robert deserves one, so here goes. Take him if you can, he's super chill. He understands that most people aren't bio majors, so he breaks things down very clearly. Lectures are brief and to the point, doesn't make you learn things you don't need to know. Genuinely wants students to pass. Highly recommend

Amazing TA! He will give quick lectures/reviews at the beginning of class and there will be labs + assignments after that. He grades homework nicely and is always open to questions. His exams are hard but doable if you participate in labs & can identify slides. He really cares for his students and likes to talk to everyone (esp about basketball).

Robert is a great TA that cares about his students. During lectures he tries to simplify information to make it easier on his students. He also drops hints about what's important for the midterm and final. In lab, he guides you through the experiments, but doesn't give answers. Overall he's my favorite TA, it doesn't hurt that he's cute too

Extremely engaging and interesting lectures. He makes topics relatable and relevant to his students. Although biology was not my favorite subject, this course has allowed me to approach biology with fascination. You can tell that he is genuinely passionate about what he teaches, and he extends his help to his students constantly. (:

Prof. Courville has been one of my favorite professors so far. He is clearly passionate about teaching and makes his expectations very clear. There is a good amount of homework/quizzes so the tests don't make or break your grade. The labs were also super fun!! He's such a cool and understanding guy in general!
