Reviews of professor Mark Birschbach

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Such a sweet professor. The only assignments for the class were 4 exams (in person), one quiz and one written assignment which was just a paragraph creating our own commercial. Attendance counts for a big chunk of the class, and the exams are pretty simple, but you'll still have to study. Caring guy, and an easy A. Take him if you can.

He's nice and caring, but his feedback is vague and he grades based entirely on his personal opinion of what ads should be. You're only graded on a handful of assignments, and you lose half a percent off your grade for each class skipped. And since this a 2-hour class where most of the time is just a work period, it can get tempting to skip.

I LOVE THIS MAN! He made this class super interesting and he is super sweet and funny. Having good attendance is super important because the only assignments given are 4 exams, a quiz, and a project. He gives back points on every quiz/ exam, so it is not hard to do well. I definitely will try and take him again for my future Advertising classes.

Professor Birschbach is so cute and caring of his students. Attendance is mandatory and the lectures can be boring but he is such a nice caring guy. I would definitely take a class with him again. The exams are not hard and he reviews a-lot before them, Definitely take class with him!!

Nice guy. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you'll have trouble if you skip. Most of the exam questions are like "Which of the following is True/False?" and has 4 options so it's almost like 1 test question is made up of 4 different questions. Even with the open-note exams, you need to somewhat know the material so you don't run out of time.

This class is all common sense and if you half pay attention in class you'll be fine. Just use his review powerpoints and you'll have no issues with the tests. The setup of the class sucks because it's exam heavy but the material is so easy that it doesn't really matter. Really sweet guy who cares about his students and gives helpful career advice.

Pretty easy course, just watch for attendance since it is required. As long as you take the time to review the lecture slides and understand the review questions before every exam you will do well

Marks lectures can be difficult to follow because he jumps around and moves quickly, but he straight up tells you word for word what questions will be on the exams. 3 exams, 1 quiz, and 1 group project. Exams and quiz are multiple choice and very straightforward. Attendance is 22% of total grade. Go to class, take notes and you will pass with ease.

He is good about giving us all the information, but clicks through lectures very quickly and offers very little time during exams. Attendance is not mandatory but if you do not attend class, you will not do well.
