Comment:

All of the lectures are in person, he does not upload any of them to the online page. There's only homework and exams. The homework has nothing to do with the exams. You can get 100% on the hw and still not pass the exams. Would not recommend to anyone really trying to learn advertising

Prof. Weigold is amazing giving lectures, he breaks down the fundamentals clearly, making it easy for anyone to understand. His exams can be difficult but as long as you study you should be fine. If the exam results are real bad he'll curve the scores. I would definitely take another one of his classes in the future.

nice professor but class requires reading the textbook and taking good class notes. ive been so spoiled by smokin notes I forgot how to do that. create a group me chat with the whole class and collaborate on the hw is my best advice. extra credit comes in handy.

Really great professor who seriously cares about his students. His lectures are really engaging and interesting but the bulk of each exam definitely comes from the textbook. Exams can be moderately difficult but homework and extra credit points account for a good portion of your final grade which defintely helps.

Honestly just go to lecture and read the books and you should be fine. He's a good guy. Even if you do bad on his tests there's plenty of extra credit and hw counts for like half a letter grade.

Great course, and livey lectures! Go to class because often there are ec opportunities. Also, READ THE BOOk because that is where a good portion of the test questions come from. Overall, a pretty easy class!

Half of your points for your class is from hw! Most of the answers to the hw are online. The test are not easy but they are not hard either. I only studied about 5 hours for each test and I never went to class. I got a C on every exam and did all the hw's and still got an A-. Showing up to class definitely makes the test easier.

Weigold is an amazing lecturer. Doesn't make attendance mandatory, but if you go, he gives you extra credit opportunities. There's homework every week and his tests are difficult, but doable if you study. Also, he curves the exams. Only downside is he doesn't really use Canvas and he makes you buy his own textbook, which is expensive.

Really great course! I'm a PR major and I learned a lot in this class. I didn't strain myself either, pretty simple courseload. Tricky on the tests, but as long as you study, you should be fine. Lecture isn't recommended, but it does help on the tests. Overall a very kind and interesting teacher.

Weigold is a funny lecturer but attendance isn't mandatory. You have to order the MH Connect which is annoying. Tests are sometimes tricky, so read the book carefully. Going to lectures will also help on tests.

Comment:

As a business major taking this for a minor, this class is ridiculously easy compared to my usual business classes. Half the class is Hw grades which are easy to get As on. Went into exams without preparing as well as i would need for other classes (ex: Marketing) and aced the class. Only con is he refuses to use canvas. Take this Class!

He makes you work for the A. His tests arent easy and nothing is on quizlet. You have about 20 quizes and 3 exams. He is a great professor though. Very hillarious and comedic

Love this guy! He is hilarious, lectures are so entertaining, tests are moderately difficult and can veer from the material he lectures on but all of it is in the textbook. The online homework (quizlet has all the answers) is worth more than all of your exam scores combined, so if you put in the effort this class should be a very easy A.

Comment:

One of the best classes I've taken at UF. Great professor, hilarious and makes topics as interesting as it can get. Tests can catch you by surprise, since they are not completely in line with lectures. However, they are based off the textbook and as long as you study the terms at the end of each chapter, you will do fine.

This guys is awesome! HE is extremely funny and loves what he does. He is amazing teacher and knows his stuff. HE is prompt with e-mails and makes the subject very fun and tolerable. Guaranteed to laugh every class. Tests can be tough and you have to read and do homework assignments. You have to put in the effort with this class, cannot goof off.

If you take the quizzes online you can technically search up all the answers while taking the quizzes. Online open book quizzes are worth more than half your grade. He gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit. Tests are heavy on vocabulary, which is clearly defined in the book. Unfortunately you have to buy- not rent - the textbook online.

Comment:

The class is interesting, but there is no review before any of the exams. You cant review any of the quiz questions, and there is not a study guide. He wrote the book himself but you still need to read the entire book, and attend all lectures to try to succeed in the course. Easy to get a B
