Comment:

Great lectures and career advice. I wish I had taken him sooner rather than wait till my last semester ( I heard he was mean- couldn't be farther from the truth). My advice? Take his class, pay attention, take notes for even after college, and appreciate a quality professor. They don't come around often.

Tim is a great guy - REALLY knows his stuff and has a great sense of humor. Really approachable, always makes himself available if you have questions and obviously loves what he does. Absolutely would recommend him! Wonderful professor. Media Plan is a lot of work, you learn A LOT!

Comment:

The first Advertising professor that actually teaches! Lots of lectures and powerpoints. Media Plan is difficult. He really means that it will take awhile to get it right. Never uses the large book, but flight plan is necessary. Really pushes for his students to go into media. Lots of internship connections in media.

Really tough class. Doesn't give out a syllabus or make his expectations really clear. However, I learned a ton and he relates everything to the real-world. Take this class if you want to be in advertising.

Very nice professor. Very knowledgeable and interesting. Easy class if you take good notes. Text book is not needed to get a good grade. Little homework, just reading. ENTIRE grade based on the midterm, presentation and final! He does play favorites and will not notice you unless you get on his good side or join the Daily.

Dont' buy the textbook.only the flightplan.Trust me.for the best part of the sem. you'll feel you aren't doingANYTHING in the class,one midterm the is subjective,and then in the last three weeks you'll begin you Plan. Relax, it's not as hard as it seems. Teacher knows a lot about the business, so don't be intimidated to ask him questions. He's nice

Comment:

He's been in advertising for years. He is pretty much retired from the field and now teaches what he did while working in that industry. If you want some experience from a knowledgeable person in the ad field take him. Sometimes boring, but that is life. Training. Learning. In this field you do have to make marketing plans. You make one in this cls

boring classes. DON"T TAKE NOTES. DON"T BUY THE BOOK. If you do, go to Amazon for only $20 (bookstore $90). His test is based on critical and logical thinking. It's ALL GUESSING! Good luck!

Comment:

Super boring class. He just likes to talk a lot but not helpful. Also a ****. Lecture can be downloaded online, don't waist time trying to catch his power point. 2 books. Don't buy the Strategic Media Plan book. It's $62 and useless. The media plan software sucks. Very confusing to play with.

Comment:

Two multiple choice tests + one media plan + a little EC & participation = your grade. Not many assignments so you better not mess up on any of them. It is hard but rewarding to attend every class to gather information on making your media plan. The lectures are dull and not useful. Just put a lot of effort into your media plan.

Comment:

The class is fairly easy but very boring. There is no need to attend. He goes through slides and expects you to read the book. The test can be a bit confusing because it comes from both his lectures and book.

Comment:

He is a very nice person, but his lectures are very boring. Oftentimes he simply prattles off a long list that you need to copy down. A lot of note taking but not a lot of use to those notes. Read the textbook and listen for him to give info on Media Plan requirements; the other information he gives is not neccesary.
