Reviews of professor Mark Birschbach

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Mark is super nice and sweet. Attendance is graded so go to class. Overall he is really nice and I would recommend. His lectures are kinda boring but not bad!

Easy A. Content was actually interesting and relevant. The professor made the class entertaining and easy to understand. There's one assignment during the entire semester, and a few exams + one quiz throughout. I would 100% recommend this class.

I took comm320 and 421W with Mark, I loved both classes and he is such a sweet & nice guy which honestly makes a huge difference when going to a professor for feedback/advice, I felt so comfortable talking to him and ended up really proud of my final portfolio in 421W. Definitely take these classes with him if you have the chance!

He is funny and his lectures are enjoyable. This class is very easy for a 300 level course. He is kind and helpful. If it is not for I changed my major, I would def take more of his classes.

Just finsihed taking exam 3 for Birschbach and all I have to stay is avoid this class if it is not required for your major. Most of your grade consists of four exams and weekly participation questions. That being said, if you bomb an exam, your grade is going to drop. Material isn't hard, he just gives very limited time to answer exam questions.

I truly enjoy advertising, it runs in my family. But I had a horrible experience with this man. He doesn't answer emails nor does he show up to his prescheduled office hours (the ones that are stated on the syllabus) not even on exam days. He reads right off his slides, I could read them off my computer and learn just as much. Don't recommend folks

Mark is a very personable guy, very entertaining if you're interested in learning about how advertising works. Class is insanely easy, tests all have study guides and there are often questions that are phrased wrong in the exams. That means you often get free points from error on the professor's half. Solid class, easy elective.

When I say tough grader, he's not the worst. He just never gives feedback on anything. He posts slides sometimes. He brings in coffee, kitkats and other things that we are working on writing advertisements for. He's generally a very nice professor and he's pretty chill. Gives you class time to work. I suggest taking him if you take this class.
