Comment:
Do not take him! notes do not match up to his test and the text book barely does it as well. He was a cocky jerk and I learned nothing from him. All we did was look at commercials and analyze them. Purely insane man who thinks he is like the best instructor ever.. when really he is the worst.

DO NOT TAKE THIS GUY he is so hard to please, anything you say he will make fun of you. You seriously have no chance if your not a marketing major. I over heard him trash talking a class one day and i have never liked him since

I didnt think he was that bad, though Im taking Marketing classes at the same time. Didnt even buy the book and you dont have to come to class. He doesnt teach what the book says because he covers real world material. I didnt mind him and I dont like doing work.

stay away from him as long as he is at USC. He talks about NYC, his wife shoe collection, his prodigy student and jeep wranglers (its a college we all have jeeps or hondas). His tests are so hard only Marketing majors get close to an A. Good luck if your forced to take him.

The material is not easy. You have to go to class and complete all assignments but it is very do-able. He was a nice guy, too.

This guy is the biggest ****-bag I have ever had. He doesn't teach well, and seems to get angry when you ask him questions. He barely prepares you to do the cumulative campaign project. Be prepared to teach yourself!

The class is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. You know exactly whats on the test...it is in the power point notes. He offers loads of extra credit. He is actually pretty nice.

This class is pretty hard, but Dr. Scott tried to make it as interesting as possible. Take advantage of the extra credit he offers and go to class.

Not the nicest guy. He picks a favorite and ignores everyone else. He also hates USC and talks all the time about how great UGA is and how the Journalism school at USC is soooo awful compared to the one at Georgia. There is another teacher who teaches this course -- take her class!!!

He is really liberal so I loved him! I struggled the whole time and thought I'd fail, but he curved and I ended up with a B+. If I'd done his extra credit I would have gotten an A, so do it!!

I had him for 303 and 465. Taking him during summer school was best b/c there were only 9 people in the class. Still difficult though. Knows everything and is hard to please in 465. I don't think he teaches law anymore, which is good...whew!

Not such a bad guy, but a difficult class. Work hard and you'll do fine. The final project requires VERY detailed work, but hey, this is college.

Not helpful at all. If you ask for help he will either make fun of you or ignore you. He also grades really hard. You can work for 50 hours (no joke) on the project and he will still fail you.
