So the class itself is so easy. BUT you literally don't learn anything. The entire semester was just the professor talking and bragging about himself. What a waste of NYU tuition.

Amazing, kind, smart, and just the best ever! This man knows his stuff on the advertising/marketing world. Despite leaving the industry a while ago he is SERIOUSLY up to date. The kindest man who cares about his students more than you know.

Comment:

great teacher and definitely one of the wisest ive had. yeah the class is easy, but besides that it's definitely worth it to take if you want to have a good, solid, honest, and up-to-date intro to marketing. take good notes if you wanna pass, also pay attention cus he knows what he's talking about. caring, cool, and a true gem of a teacher.

Comment:

If you want to waste your precious money and time on a class that might as well be constructed for elementary school children, take the below comments seriously. As kind and inspirational as Prof Secunda may be, he's not a good teacher. His lectures are incredibly outdated, boring, and basic. Take this class only if you're desperate for an easy A.

Amazing and engaging professor. Cares about every one of his students and doesn't try to give anyone a hard time. Straight forward class. If you care about the subject, pay attention in class, and try to actually listen to what Secunda has to say, you won't have any problems doing very well in this class.

Comment:

He tells you that the textbook isn't really important and the lectures don't follow the book much, but the exams are 100% from the textbook. He's a really sweet guy though (and his eyebrows are pretty distracting - in the best way. They're basically majestic).

Never been taught by someone so effortlessly intriguing. Enjoyed his stories so much and actually looked forward to this class. Very easy grading and 3 years later, I still retain and apply all I learned. Highly recommend taking this class to everyone interested. He's a magnificent man

Comment:

Easily my favorite class this semester. He doesn't sugar coat anything, and his goal is for you to know what it's like to work in marketing. I'll admit tests are a bit off from class but just read the book. No homework ever, and such an interesting & enjoyable class to sit in. So sad he's not teaching another class I can take next semester :(

Professor Secunda is very nice, but the class isn't very good. It's very much a repeat of any intro to marketing, advertising, or media class you have ever had, and the tests are completely 100% out of the book.

When he applied his own experiences to the texts that we were reading, it allowed us to learn better. Also,I loved the clips that he showed in class and mention them to my friends. He is a great Professor!!
