ADV 300

Introduction to Advertising

4

Used to have a reputation for being an easy class/instructor but must have gotten into some trouble for being too easy. He has 5 exams and 2-3 projects. The exams cover lecture material as well as book material, so going to lecture is important. For the book material part of the exams he hands out study guides letting students know explicitly what pages to read and what concepts will be covered on the exam. The exams are not too difficult as long as you study. The projects are simple and an easy A if you put time and effort into it. Overall, Hall's ADV 300 class is good. His lectures are interesting and the class is relatively easy if you show up and put a little bit of time into your work. He also hands out a good amount of EC.

Attendance is not mandatory, however, he asks questions on the exams from the lectures, which you can only know if you have attended the lectures. The exams are divided into 2 parts- Lectures and Txtbook. It should be an easy A if you are willing to work a little. He is quite entertaining as well

Overall his class is easy. It jut 5 tests are annoying and the HWs, too. You got to go to lectures and review the book before each test, otherwise is hard to get an A in this class. I think this class is kinda hard for an elective class.

Pros: -Prof. Hall is a cool,nice guy

-not strict at all, always see his smile

-always tells fun stories related to the field

-he gave everyone perfect score for the last exam because he went to chicago for a few times and kinda fell behind the schedule so he decided to give everyone 100 on the last exam

-assignments are decent and fun ( create a survey and two ads and one creative brief

-exam questions are straightforward, come directly from book definitions and lecture notes. Easy A if you read the book and go to class and take some notes.

-he shows a great amount of fun ads or commercials in class

Cons: -a great point loss for the exams if you don't take notes in class because it's 50% comes from lectures and 50% comes from book

- He was always busy and missed class a few times (that's all I could think of ) =) I like him, a great professor !

This was one of the easiest classes I have ever taken. It consisted of 5 advertsing projects and a bigger final project that incorporates themes from the previous projects. You don't have to go to class unless there is a quiz given (he tells you when though). The final project was time consuming though. I heard that in more recent semesters it has changed to actually have tests and incorporates actual homework and studying.

Pros: LOVE this class. You actually learn a lot about the media and advertising world. I learned about things I've never learned before and it was fun in the process.

It was a new perspective as a psychology major.

Pros: awesome guest speakers, interesting lecture, the book was even interesting. I really enjoyed going to class

Cons: he wasn't the most available, but he had jury duty my semester, so I'm sure that's not a typical thing for him.
