I LOVED THIS GUY! He was always cracking jokes and was totally approachable. NOT a hard class at all if you do all your homework etc... I would definitely recommend taking one of his classes!

Comment:
I loved him! I was a little scared by the rating he has on here, but I took him as a summer class and didn't have much of a choice about prof. We had an assignment due every class period, basically CR/No CR, a big assignment- easy, quizzes weekly- online, could take 3 times, & no final exam. He has some really great experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Prof. Helgert is a good guy. He has a lot of experience and knows what he is talking about. He is a little old fashioned and can get boring at times, but he tries to "hip it up" a little. Not the easiest class, but learned quite a bit. Asks hard questions during presentations so you better know what you are talking about.

Comment:
Professor Helgert was not the easiest prof I have ever taken, but certainly not the hardest, read your book, take good notes, study hard for the tests and you'll do fine. You do have to put work into this class, he doesn't give out grades, you earn them. Overall he's not a bad guy though

He has a very old fashioned way of teaching. It can be a bit boring at times. He has a lot of knowledge, but is very difficult to approach.

Comment:
Absolutely no effort was put in to this class. Tests and powepoints came from the publisher, homework was from the book. Provided study guides, but they were not helpful at all. Class averages on all tests was about 68%- an A is RARE. My advice= AVIOD. The only good thing was that he dropped the lowest test grade.

knows a lot. everyday goes through same routine: role, lecture, short presentation. takes role every day. lectures are boring. 3 tests. tests are tough. in my calss the 2nd exam was over material we didn't learn. there were 7 C's, 20 D's and an F. Highest grade was 76%. study for the tests and you will get by ok. I ended up with an A- overall.

You guys really need to get a grip. DR. H is one of the best profs that I've had in QUITE a long time. He's fair, and when I have questions about assignments I send him an email and he responds back within 2 hours. All assigenments have been clear. He WILL Challenge you, but isn't that what college is about? All classes aren't going to be easy!

Comment:
Now Helgert has gotten a bad rap. Yeah, he's a little too subjective when it comes to grading. Yeah, he's not the most approachable guy. But he is well educated and practiced in the REAL WORLD. He may not be always "fair." But in the real world people are not always fair and working through his class will better equip you for it.

I feel like he could have been a better professor if he tried harder. He has a lot of knowledge about advertising but he just uses everything from the book. Ask questions and talk to him one on one. Talk in class a lot too for participation points.

Terrible prof. Wants to confuse you with his ambiguity. Grades women harder than men. Makes up his own grades at the end, and participation can really hurt you. Take a different prof or an independent study.

This professor was absolutely ridiculous. His grading scale is based on his mood. He plays favorites blatenly and doesn't help anybody. This was one of the worst professors I have ever had.

He was horrible. His grading scale is ridiculous. He is extremly unclear in explaining requorements for projects. It doesn't seem like he cares at all about the students.

not the most exciting, but I enjoyed the class. You learn alot about advertising, and have a chance to make your own ads. Tests are hard, but he picks the best 2 out of 3, so you can't really argue with that

He likes to give assignments and projects to you without explaining them. When you try to ask him questions, he gives a very roundabout answer. Very unclear, grades somewhat tough. Not very personable.

RIDICULOUS. I thought maybe the ppl who rated him b4 me were wrong. They were not. He uses the book's presentations and tests. Every day has a HW assignment. Little help. Knows a lot, but it is not the material he tests you on. Good luck :-/
