Reviews of professor Duane Rousselle

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The lectures for this class were difficult to follow at times because you have to take notes as he talks and things were rarely written down. However, he has a great sense of humor and tried to make the material more interesting. The assignments were very easy and I did not find the midterm/final to be too difficult (mostly vocabulary).

Duane is an okay professor. He swears a lot and his lectures were extremely boring. He is a tough grader on the midterm and final but for some reason graded very high on our final paper. Doesn't show up to office hours and isn't very personable.

We need more professors like him. The people who rated him poorly probably just didn't like the fact that he gave them the freedom to fail themselves. He allows you to pass in assignments late, to rewrite assignments indefinitely, and to change the nature of your assignment. The people who didn't do well took advantage of his kindness. Their fault.

This professor is amazing. He extends all deadlines. Allows multiple rewrites. He makes hilarious jokes. The assignments and tests are easy. Love him.

Grade is determined by weekly blackboard key terms, midterm, final, and a final paper. All notes are up to you on what he says during lecture. He talks fast so recording the lecture is helpful. Hard grader on the final paper, its worth 40% of your grade. He is very funny though.

Dr. Rousselle is a real gem! If youre a student who thrives off of PowerPoints and boring lectures, then his class isnt for you. If youre a student who appreciates a challenge, thinking, and actually learning then hes the professor for you. Hes not an ordinary professor and hes unique in a very special way. You can learn a lot from him.

Very good, very intelligent professor. Lecture heavy so you have to go to class but if you want to really listen to someone knowledgeable on sociology choose this funny, cool, Canadian professor.

Professor Rousselle knows a lot about sociology but lacks teaching structure. His lectures are all over the place and can be hard to follow. The topics we cover are really boring, but he adds humor to them so it's okay. He is new to Grand Valley, and accessing him outside of class is impossible- unclear office hours, doesn't respond to emails, etc.

Professor Rousselle is hilarious. His teaching style is unconventional. Admittedly, I at first thought he was too all over the place. However. Once it clicked, it all made sense. Our 3 hour lectures flew by, and I find myself referring back to my notes from his class often. I would highly recommend Professor Rouselle! He makes class interesting.

He made this class super enjoyable even though a lot of the material was boring. There's a big paper at the end of the year, but he gives you tons of time to prepare for it.
