Reviews of professor Gregory Taucher

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
It's questionable on how Greg would deal with situations. At times he'd be a hot head/give sassy remarks,unprofessional towards his students. He'd blow-up on students or groups and at times because of how they approached his projects with no guidance given. The guy is literally passive aggressive. RED FLAG: Take a different section class.

The exams were extremely hard as they were fill-in-the-blank taken directly from the slides. But he made the midterm and final extra credit and that saved my grade.

The first assignment I got 100% on and positive feedback, but on the past couple assignments I havent done as well. I use my first assignment as a guideline to help with the other ones since he seemed to like that one. I was wrong and the feedback he gives is more like personal digs rather than constructive criticism. Not a fan :(

This class is based off on group-work. There are no exams or quizzes, just group papers and long assignments due frequently. Attendance is randomly taken. Due to this structure, you don't learn or study for anything. Don't get your hopes up- you will learn nothing in this class. Lectures painfully drag on.

Taucher is the worst professor I have ever had. Taucher and I were in advertising association at MSU , he used stories from the meetings in his lectures, and twisted the information. I don't trust anything he says about his "experience in the field". His lectures were irrelevant to the assignments. His feedback was useless. Avoid if at all possible

So tough it borders on unkindness. Will not accept late work no matter what the reason. Entire course is graded on group projects, the groups are randomly assigned at the beginning of the semester and if you have a bad group, you're screwed. Attendance checks are random and worth a large portion of the grade. He does not respond to emails as well.

Taucher is a harda*s. But for him it does kinda work. He is not afraid to chew you out in front of the class. The class is almost all group projects, but it's not terrible if your group is good. It can feel like you're actually working for an ad firm sometimes. Lots of great experience from a highly respected Advertising professional. just Be wary.

Prof. Taucher is a good ADV professor. He has some pretty amazing stories from his experience in the field. I did not like how his slides provided very very little notes for us to take. His exams are all written, but he gives the questions ahead of time so that you can prepare. Overall a good prof who needs improvement.

I took ADV 330 with Taucher, and I would recommend you find another teacher for this class. Random attendance checks, very poor at explaining assignment information, and if your group members are not there to help you may have the whole assignment on your back (like I did).
