Reviews of professor Trevor Van Damme

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Damme is one of the most compassionate and kind professors I have ever come across. His lectures and assignments are extremely interesting. He clearly outlines the grading criteria of his assignments. He is one of the few gems of professors who really want to help their students do well! You will be lucky to take a class with him!

Really engaging lecturer who clearly cares about what he is talking about. Really accessible by email. There is quite a lot of reading (like the entire odyssey) but his reading quizzes are pretty easy, and they are relevant to the class content. Marks harder on written assignments.

Trevor is a nice and funny professor. However, he is a tough grader on papers and fourm posts. The readings are quite long compared to other first year courses I had, and his overall lecture presentation was dull. Attendence is highly suggested if you want to pass the course, as the PPT by themselves give little to no context outside of class.

A tough grader.  Will often give no marks for technically correct answers.  Final essay grading was purposefully tough.

Trevor was an absolute gem. He's a really approachable and friendly person. This class was very very easy and required little participation as long as you follow due dates online.

Dr. Trevor was a good prof. Although be ready to read and have a heavier workload for this course. It's not an easy elective and many people drop out in the first two months. He was a nice guy who was open to helping and answering questions.

Would definitely recommend taking a class with Dr. Van Damme! His lectures are engaging and funny, assignments are returned really quickly, and he gives very specific feedback on how you can improve. Lots of reading but quizzes are open-book so not too difficult!

Trevor was great! Tests were open book/note and there was a final project that was graded fairly. A lot of the information he teaches isn't on the slides and he doesn't record lectures so attendance is smart. The group activities were fun and he was enthusiastic about what he was teaching.
I'm looking forward to taking another class with him.

I had him for GRS 101 and currently 358, he is amazing. He is so funny and makes learning a lot of fun! The work load is not bad but there is quite a bit of reading. Tests and projects are marked not easy and not hard. He is such a good prof and I am so lucky to be a student of his.
