Grad advertising elective. Content was clear and interesting. Be warned, he writes a test that must be studied for! (laid back course format might see to indicate otherwise, don't be tempted) Don't buy the book,slides combined with mandatory attendance eliminate the need for it. Fantastic course, if interested in adagency work you want to take this

Outstanding teacher--one of the best I've had at UT-Dallas. His tests are not easy, and rely much upon memorization of the lecture notes. I found his class to be very engaging and interesting, as he tied everything that we were learning to examples and the "real world." I would go out of my way to take a class from him again.

Biswas is one of the best profs I have ever meet. He has the power to explite complex model to easy words and make thick text book content to some slight without losing any point. The group project is a fair game and not so that difficult. The exam is little bit hard because I have to try my best to remember not only the concept but also examples in the lectures to get a high grade. Hope you guys enjoy this course.

Dr. Biswas makes the grading criteria quite clear at the beginning. The main downside to his class is that the examples being used in class is outdated. The online class consists of lectures from 07-08 (Eg. Digital brands were nearly nonexistent). For a marketing class, relevant examples that students can relate to are crucial.

I took the online version of this course and unlike most online courses, the lectures were long but pretty amazing. Honestly most of what you get on the quizzes and exams comes from the lecture. Participation is very important be sure to comment on group projects. This class isn't an easy A but if you put in the work you will easily pass.

Lectures are long. Close to 2 hrs weekly. I found the lectures quite long-winded, but you'll get an A as long as you go through them. Weekly modules are helpful. Print them out and go through the subjects prior to midterm and final exams. Final exam was challenging (proctored, no notes). Group projects (2 of them) were fun and enlightening.
