Reviews of professor Richard Pieczynski

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
A good guy and new prof. Network with him. Values your input in class. Group presentations left and right, but no rubric for any assignment, so its impossible to know what hes looking for and what youll be graded on. Knows the business, just had a hard time teaching it. Think hell be good with time and mentoring. Lectures are long and rambling.

Pie is THE BEST!! seriously- take him. He is so funny and caring and will literally do anything for his students. Most of his assignments are easy and actually give you real-life experience and learning. The final project is a group presentation and you get a lot of time to work on it. He's such a fun, easy going guy and one of the best profs!

Although Pie isn't a full-time professor at Loyola, he still gives his all and shows that he really cares about each student, making sure we learn everything we need to be ready for ad field in the real world. He's worked in the field for a while and really knows what he's talking about,so don't be afraid to ask questions, he's a valuable resource!

Professor Pieczynski has the biggest heart. His assignments can be a little unclear, but he cares a lot about his students and is always willing to help if you are confused. He also worked in the advertising industry for many years so he is a wonderful contact to have!

Professor Pie is a gem. He wants you to succeed and I always left class inspired. Lot's of brief writing- that was most of the assignments. It was difficult to get an A on assignments, but those standards helped me improve as a student. He's very accessible! I definitely recommend you take his class because he's a real pro in the industry.

New professor. He was learning to teach and it was obvious. There were not many assignments and the ones he did have were not well organized. I would avoid him for a year or 2 until he learns how to teach better. He knows his industry but not how to teach it yet!

Pie is a great teacher who very obviously loves what he does, and what he lacks in experience he makes up for with his willingness to learn from students and take their feedback into account. Lots of group projects, but they all seem very relevant and related to real-world advertising situations.
