Comment:

Although this class was easy enough, the lectures are spread out and so hard to find on D2L. This class was beyond unorganized. The tests were random questions that even after studying I didn't know. The professor is nice and a bit quirky, but it doesn't matter because the material was easy but so unorganized this class was NOT an easy A.

Extremely difficult class to take online!! Barely any instructor involvement, no lectures at all. You have to teach yourself everything. Weekly quizs + assignments on d2l are easy but not worth enough to boost grade, 3 tests that make up a majority of your grade but even when studying for hours I could barely pass them and theyre not curved.

Overall a pretty easy class. Study for tests or else you won't get good grades on them. Tests aren't curved and the last two were pretty hard. She will do pop quizzes on D2L for attendance every once in a while. Other than that, skipping is easy and the class isn't hard

Honestly a great professor. Make sure you take good notes (you can afford to miss a few classes but still) since they way she phrases some stuff on the tests can be slightly different from how they are explained in class. All tests (and non-cumulative final) are online and open note. Cancels class here and there. engaging lecturer and great person.

Missing this class is not a good idea. She springs these small little assignments during class that you can only do if you attended. The tests are kind of hard, but only because all the information on them are from the book and not the lecture slides. I didn't do too great in this course, but it's not too hard.

This professor does great at making the subject exciting and enjoyable. You'll definitely have to focus more so on the online textbook since the tests come from mainly the book, more-so than her actual lectures. It's important to attend lectures or you'll easily slip behind on the material and on points.

Jan is a great professor. I missed a few classes and it was kind of hard to get the notes because there are a lot of extra pieces of information that she says that aren't explicitly said in the lectures. So y go to class or you'll miss stuff. Also even though the tests are online, some of the questions come from examples she gives in class.

She's a good professor and tries to keep class fun. you definitely must pay attention to get good notes for the test. we don't use the textbook but it does help to look over the chapters and use for the quizzes and tests. all tests are open note, open book, and open friend so it's basically cheating but because of that, the tests can be hard.

Took this class online and it was the easiest 4.0. Everything is online, even the exams, and every question is available through Google (Quizlet, Coursehero, etc.). There's a quiz and activity every week but only 2 exams and no final, so just do the work and you'll be golden. I would buy the textbook, because some exam questions do come from it.

Janice provides the lectures a day before hand and some mandatory class periods where there is in class assignments. There is no final and all of the tests are open book and open note. You can also pair up with others but the exams are random, and it's complicated to do it with other people. I have never used the textbook, but its required.

Overall ADV205 is pretty easy. There are lectures everyday that can get to be kind of boring, but she throws in lots of fun commercials and ads that are pretty interesting. The tests are taken online and are open note and book and you can work with other students, but they are difficult and long for the time period given.

I had a really great time in this class. Professor Bukovac cares about the subject material and writes fair tests. Expect a B in this class - even if you rely on the textbook for exams. However, you'll have a much better time and you'll learn a TON more if you actually do the reading and study. If you want to learn about advertising, start here.

This was my first ad class taken at MSU, and as far as I was concerned, professor Bukovac was alright. The lectures were sort of boring but she would through up some entertaining commercials and we got out early a lot. Her notes are unorganized though, which became frustrating.

Really liked this class, she's really interesting and a great professor. You'll watch a lot of interesting commercials in her class. Online tests, so I suggest buying the DIGITAL version of the book it's a life changer.

By far the most unorganized teacher I have ever had. Out of the whole, part of the test is pretty legit and things we talked about and another part is just a bunch of stuff we didn't even talk about or not important in contrast to the material. I must admit, worst class I have taken at MSU.

Literally the most unorganized professor I've ever had. Her notes suck, there is absolutely no structure, and she does not make the class interesting what so ever.

Worst class I've taken, prof was terrible, crazy, it was just a giant waste of time. Sometimes she says things that are obviously incorrect, she doesn't even know her own subject well. I would not recommend this class to anyone, although it is an easy A which is probably why she gets some positive ratings.

she is a horrible teacher. puts slides on the screen and 80% of the class pulls out their laptops or falls asleep. went to most of her classes and she still found ways of putting info on the exams that she didnt talk about at all. one of the worst teachers i have had at MSU. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! waste of money.

She is great! She is funny too. I had this as an 8am and a good majority of the class still showed up even though she does put slides online. Exams are also taken online. She's a MILF!
