Comment:
For ADV 150, Professor Hall is a great professor and always has his own stories for everything. His lectures are not boring and the first day said all slides will have less than a sentence. He wants you to pass and will give TONS of extra credit. Attend class because half the test questions are from lecture and other half are textbook.

tests are divided between lectures and textbook. They do not cross pollinate. You can do well enough without the book, but be prepared to buy something brand new for an A

You do need to go to class to do well, listening and taking detailed notes on what he says and the examples he shows is needed to do well on the exams. But as long as you do that, the homework, and the 3 projects throughout, you're guaranteed an A. Steve is hilarious, though, class is always fun to attend.

On the second day of class I fainted and he rode in the ambulance with me and waited in the hospital with me for hours until I was released. I was so impressed by how caring he was. I will never forget his kindness.

Professor Hall opened my eyes to advertising and how cool some projects can be. There was never a boring class. He told us what would be on the tests and helped us excel for the writing assignment we had. If you have an extra elective to burn, this class is awesome for it.

Professor Hall is a super cool guy and made me want to get into advertising. His lectures are almost all pictures and videos so make sure you take notes on what he shows (they're on the tests) The study guides are super accurate to whats on the test and towards the end of the semester he gives a ton of extra credit!

His lectures are very engaging and interesting but make sure you take detailed notes because even small things will end up on tests. Your grades are defined by how well you do on the 4 tests and the end group project. Leave yourself a couple days to study. USE THE STUDY GUIDE, HE MAKES HIS TESTS DIRECTLY FROM THEM.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE LECTURES! Write down specific details about the examples he shows in class. They might seem random, but they appear on the exams. His tests are split pretty much 50/50 between the lectures and text.

Hall is a really cool guy who definitely knows a LOT about the field of advertising. There's EC and 4 exams along with a online assignments and a few other assignments. You can only get like 3-4 wrong on the exams to get an A, so that's what sucks. Otherwise, definitely a very interesting and engaging class.

Steve is a very inspiring professor and really inspired me to pursue a career in the Advertising Industry. Gives good "real world" knowledge during lectures but for exams you will need to know you're textbook information as well and lecture "real world" knowledge. He doesn't remind you of homework that is due "connect assignments" do them yourself.

Steve is a great guy, though I did not learn much in ADV199. The field trip is fun, though we had no grade in the class until the last day of class. Definitely recommend taking a class with him at some point.

Honestly one of the coolest professors you will ever have the chance of meeting. He loves what he does and he loves making lectures fun and interesting. A lot of the test questions are about lecture so it's a good idea to go to class. I never missed a class of his because I loved it so much.

One of my favorite classes. Go to lecture! 80% of the test comes from his lecture examples and definitions. You only have 4 tests (no final) and a project. The tests are very straightforward (he gives very detailed review guides and notes can be found online). He gives a fair amount of extra credit as well. Great class and professor!

He knows his stuff. He's an awesome teacher and makes lectures interesting. I would recommend scheduling office hours with him though, he's a pretty busy guy. Take notes in class and graze over the textbook and you'll be fine.

This class is very easy. Everything is very straightforward. But this professor is a very bad. Tests are poorly written. What a disgrace for an instructor who does not know how to write a proper exam. Also take very good notes in lecture since he will not post lecture notes online. He only post lecture outlines, which do not cover everything.
