Comment:

Avery is one of the best professors. He seems like a scary guy, but he's willing to help if you ask. Avery is one of the smartest in the business, but don't be afraid to argue with him every once in a while. If you're into conferencediscussion style learning you'll walk away from his class learning everything you need to succeed in advertising.

Avery is one of those rare teachers who really cares about what his students accomplish post graduation. If you want to do something great in advertising, engage with him and learn from him. One of my best professors at OU.

Extensive knowledge in subject matter and high grade of applicable work experience. Any degree of animosity is relative to professors's lack of ability to adequately convey message and passion in teaching.

Comment:

He gives horrible direction. And if you go to his office hours, all he will do is give more work. Worst, most time consuming class I have ever taken. I don't understand how students can like him. He is an egomaniac.

Very unorganized and very unhelpful. His class is easy if you can figure out what you're supposed to be doing. Knows his stuff, but doesn't know how to relate it to the class.

I thought that he was a great teacher. He can be very blunt and sarcastic, but he doesn't waste your time. He is SO experienced and witty...he can just come across kind of mean at times

The class was really interesting and there was a lot of interesting information. I didn't like the last test, too man true/false. But overall the class was great and I enjoyed the commercials.

Comment:

Avery may do well in classes that are more advanced, but in intro, he is dry, boring, rude and conceited. his notes are on the net, class is pointless except for quizzes, and I learned nothing, but still made an A.

All those who made bad comments, obviously can't cut it in the ad world. Avery is a great professor and you'll learn more in his classes than any other. He's a professional who knows the business and teaches from experience.

Comment:

Everyone should get the chance to take this class. You get a glimpse of what it's really like in an overseas ad agency. You don't just work hard, but you play hard too. Avery gives you plenty of free time to do what you want to sight see and shop.

Comment:

He is the type of teacher that pushes you to learn through experiencing what it is like to be in an agency. You might not realize how much you have really learned until the end of the semester.
