His lectures follow his powerpoints almost word-for-word. However, he does make a few points that aren't on the slides, which is why attendance is important. His tests were over extremely small details in the powerpoints, so memorize them. Also, if you get to know him, he is very helpful and isn't afraid to pull strings to help you.

Ron Anderson was one of my favorite professors at UT. He was always available for additional help outside of the classroom if necessary, and his teachings have taken me a long way in my career. As long as you take your work seriously, you can learn a lot from Ron.

Ron goes above and beyond to help out his students. If you work hard in his class he is an excellent source of referrals as you enter the career field.

Ron is an great Professor. B or A for sure. Make sure you go to class. This is not hard you need to go anyway in all classes. You do not have to memorize the whole book, but make sure you know it. The test are not hard as long as you review the chapters and the powerpoints.(Easy A) You can make an B in the class if you just look at the powerpoints.

I attended Ron's Public Relations Theory course last year. It's a small-size graduate class with more emphasize on discussion and individual work presentation. I loved it because of its high level of interaction with the lecturer and my classmates. Also Ron helped us trim down the paper topics and optimize the structure. I recommend this course!

Overall pretty good professor. His lectures aren't always clear, but if you go in for help, he will help you as much as possible. He is fun and friendly to talk to. The exams were tough, but fair. If you are willing to do all of your work, you will get good grades in his classes.

I thought Ron Anderson was a great professor. His tests reflected the material presented in class. I also found his lectures to be very interesting. He's a approachable professor, and is willing to help out whenever necessary.

To put it simply, Ron is a great teacher and wonderful advisor outside of the classroom. He teaches you the basics inside and out in his classes and gives you all the information you need to understand the material. Outside of lecture, he is willing to give you recommendation letters and advice if you deserve it. Great Guy! Highly Recommended!!

Professor Anderson was exceptional this semester! His class was great and i recommend it HIGHLY to any non-major! Being a third year student i needed a class i would enjoy and this sure was one, the work load was light, the lectures clear and to the point! This is probably one of my favorite classes i have taken here at UT! TAKE THIS CLASS!

Ron Anderson was the best professors I had in fall of 2011! He is so witty & funny! His class is very straight forward. He gives you the PowerPoints and material you need to be successful. You'll have 3 exams & an optional final to replace your lowest exam score. He is very considerate that the class is for non-majors! GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS! :)

Professor Anderson was not only incredibly helpful and intelligent, but one heck of a funny guy! There really won't be a day without him cracking jokes so his class will be really enjoyable and really enlightening! He's also one of the few professors on campus that will talk with students in office hrs for hours on end! :)

This class was particularly difficult for me because the test are based 50% on the lecture. On a positive note Mr. Anderson is very helpful, he will go out of his way to help you. During his class i had a injury to my knee and he was the most helpful teacher i had the whole semester to my special needs.

Ron Anderson is the man! PR 305 Fundamentals of PR is an amazing class that gives practical knowledge to use after college. Most of the Test material comes from powerpoints, and though attendance is not mandatory, showing up to class will almost ensure an A+. A little studying helps too. Anderson ROCKS!!!

Great professor! Not the most exciting class but Anderson makes it easy to understand and worthwhile

A decade after taking his class, I still stay in contact with Ron Anderson. He is extremely knowledgable and even helped me secure my first job out of college. He is always doing interesting research and makes PR relevant.

Ron is an amazing professor. His lectures are clear, conversational and easy material to learn. He takes the class one step further than most. He makes you feel valued by knowing your name, and making sure you, as an individual, learn the material. Ron is going to my mentor for life! Take the Class!! Trust me!

Ron is a great fellow, I'd highly recommend taking this class. It's not difficult to succeed and he provides all the materials necessary to get an A, you just have to attend and do a bit of studying before the tests and you're gold.

professor Anderson is a very kind and helpful person. His lectures are never boring, he is clear to understand and you will learn a lot about public relations. He is definitely knowledgeable and will give good advise. He is very welcoming and urges everyone to talk to him after class or office hours. He will answer any questions you may have.

Dr. Ron is one of my favorite professors of all time. He has a passion for public relations and a real drive to get the best out of his students. His classes are enjoyable as they are informative. The man is made of kindness. He even bought our small class coffee and Mexican food!

Professor Anderson is by far one of my favorite professors at UT. His class was so much fun and the work load is not bad at all. All you have to do is study the lecture slides and may b if you need to skim through the book you will get an A. i highly recommend taking this class

I disagree. Anderson is helpful when you seek help; he actually cares about his students and wants to see them succeed in his class/PR career. Just because there were detailed questions (Murphy's ADV class is the same) on the exam doesn't mean he is "Awful" or a "joke". His office hours are helpful and he provides all the info on the tests. Study!

I learned two things in this class: office hours are crucial and you NEED to study. I didn't study for the first two exams like I should have and my grade reflected two 78s. Study hard for the last two and talked to Anderson in office hours and he helped so much I ended up with a 90 and 92 on the last two!

Ron was very clear with expectations, had a good sense of humor, and sought feedback/questions from students during class. If you pay attention, follow the PPTs, and are not on Facebook/Pinterest, you can succeed. If not, then your ride will not be smooth! Ron is encouraging and genuinely wants to see growth in his students. Pay attention :)

This class was the most helpful class I'll probably ever take at UT. This class made me want to continue to pursue my PR career. Ron Anderson has easily been my favorite professor at UT, and I can't wait to take him again. He cares about the progress of his students and their understanding of the material. I recommend this enjoyable caring man.

Ron is a really cool guy. He knows his stuff and the information is very relevant. Sometimes he is a little unclear with what will and will not be on tests. It is wise to pay attention to both powerpoints and have a general understanding of the book. He's very laid back, but also has experience in PR. Overall good class.

I really enjoyed PR319 and Ron as a professor. The class and tests are comparable to ADV318J with Dr. Murphy, except Ron is much friendlier and easy-going (he insists you call him Ron, not Dr. Anderson). His tests are tricky but if you take notes in class and read the book you'll do fine. Go to office hours--Ron is so helpful and fun to talk to!

Ron was so helpful, cheerful, and caring. He really cares for his students and wants us to do well. I learned so much about PR because of him! Take his classes whenever they're offered! You won't regret it!!!

Ron was an awesome teacher. He really trusts his students to accomplish great things without being overbearing or strict. He was so easygoing and always there to help. Everyone should take this course with Ron!

Ron is one of the most helpful professors I've encountered at UT. Not only is his class enjoyable, but he gives students every opportunity to succeed in his class. He's friendly and genuinely interested in his class and his students. Top-notch guy, top-notch professor.

Professor Anderson is a nice, quirky instructor who makes the expectations for the class very clear. As long as you do the readings, attend class regularly and keep up with the material, the class is VERY manageable and you will be successful. His grading scheme leaves room for error, in case you mess up on one test you can replace the grade.

Ron was an excellent instructor. I had him for campaigns and he was both extremely fair and supportive with each of his students. I would highly recommend taking a course with Ron before graduating UT.

Ron was an excellent professor in that he made it his duty as a professor to help his students succeed in his class. In addition to his upbeat and cheerful attitude, Dr. Andersen continuously tries to improve the way he delivers course concepts in order to provide his students all the opportunities to gain valuable insight into the world of PR.

Ron was easily the most helpful professor I've had the pleasure of taking in my time in college. What I loved about Ron is that he legitimately cares about his students and wants them to succeed. If you show you care about your progress, go to office hours, Ron will go out of his way to make sure you're set up to excel in his class. GREAT guy.

I loved this class because as a PR major, I'm interested in learning more about the field of PR, yet I don't want to be overloaded with info and get burnt out too early. Ron understands that. He's very clear on his material & cares about his students. Show you care about your work & he'll help you succeed/reach your grade goal. Ron was a blessing

This class really reinforced my passion for PR as my career choice. The information covered in this course was enlightening and intriguing. I fully enjoyed myself in this course and I know that it definitely would not have been as enjoyable were it with any other professor. Ron's proficiency and enthusiasm for the material covered shines through

I can honestly say that this was my favorite class this semester. Anderson cares about his students and their success and that's what makes it such a joy to be a part of. It's gratifying to see professors like him who put so much into their work. Awesome class! I suggest him to anyone.

Ron was an extremely helpful professor. He was always willing to help me during his office hours and always made appointments if necessary. What was really great about Ron was that he truly cared about how I was doing in his class and in my other classes. You definitely need to study for his exams, but if you need help his door is always open.

You will not regret taking any of Ron's courses. Prof. Anderson offers a relaxed environment, little focus on textbooks and brings in great speakers from time to time. But he also holds you accountable for your work, something that will prepare you for work once you graduate. Ron also likes P. Terry's milkshakes so buy him one to stand out!

Ron was great to have as a campaigns professor. He let us do the project on our own terms and only intervened to help when we needed it. He was always willing to talk outside of class.

Ron is super nice and a great professor. No, his tests aren't easy, but just go to class and study the lectures a lot. You can tell that he loves what he teaches and is happy to help you understand if you're having problems. Even if you aren't in his class anymore, he will stop you in the hallway and say hi, which is a lot more than most profs.

Professor Anderson is my favorite professor at UT so far! He is very energetic and knowledgeable especially with the material that he teaches. He keeps the class entertaining! If you have the option to have him as a professor, TAKE IT!!

Loved this class!! Professor Anderson is a great teacher who genuinely cares about his students and what he's teaching. He is very helpful and really encourages students to utilize his office hours! I would definitely recommend this class to anyone. Making an A is very do-able.

Professor Anderson was my favorite professor at UT thus far. He is passionate about PR, knowledgable of the field, and inspires you to learn. He cares about every one of his students and is extremely approachable both in the classroom and office hours. I have absorbed so much valuable information from his course and would highly recommend it.

Ron Anderson is a great and engaging professor. If you want to know about PR, he'll give you more insight than the average professor. He's very personable and has a knack at making class entertaining. If you pay attention in class and put in effort, you can easily make an A or B, and his attendance points really add up!

Anderson is completely amazing! Such a wonderful man and a really great person to talk to. He always has great feedback and he has a lot of expereince in the business that he is willing to share. My favorite professor of all time!---He gives a lot of credit towards attendance

Professor Anderson is the best! He is so nice and really cares about his students. His lectures are entertaining and you can tell he really enjoys PR so it makes the students enjoy it too. The tests were a little difficult but everything evens out with the project grade and a few easy quizzes. Definitely take Anderson - my favorite prof!!

Anderson rocks! He's so fun and excited about teaching and gets to know his students. Any class taught by him, take it! He genuinely cares about his students and makes you want to come to class. I can recommend him enough!

Before going into this class, I had no idea who Professor Anderson was, and because I had no friends who had previously taken the class with him, I did have some concerns. All of those were alleviated my first day in class. Anderson truly cares for his students and their progress throughout the semester. He's funny, engaging, and understanding.

Great Professor. He was very helpful with clarifying material. He made the material in class interesting and if you work hard during the semester he is willing to help; I had an 89.4 and he agreed to help me by bumping me up to an A- for my good performance throughout the semester. He is a really nice and fair professor. I would highly reccomend.

If you haven't figured it out yet, the University of Texas at Austin has some great professors. Dr. Anderson is one of the greats that we have so make sure to reward him with a milkshake or some Smucker's jam.

This class saved me when GPA matters most. I was able to internally transfer into architecture and engineering because of this class. Ron is excellence professor who cares about his students. The course load is light and the materials are pertinent with real life application. Overall, an excellence professor, light course load, and an easy A.

Ron could not be any nicer! He truly cares about his students and is really understanding when they have big projects going on in other classes. He is willing to work with students to make sure they are not too overloaded with work. His class was also very interesting(social marketing), I'm actually considering a career in social marketing now

Very nice and easy-going professor who's genuinely interested in maintaining relationships with students. Class structure is very laid back and he appreciates input from students in determining how class will be run. Overall a great professor!

Great professor, really cares about the success of students. The tests can be tough, so show up to as many classes as you can. Prof Anderson definitely knows who comes to class often and showing up can be a benefit for you. Very informative class and a great intro for UGS students who don't know what they want to do.

Professor Anderson was one of my favorite professors at UT. He has so much practical PR experience from his days on Capitol Hill that he eagerly shares with students. He brings in lots of guest speakers and helped me land my first internship Freshman year! He genuinely cares about his students, and is both knowledgeable and reasonable.

Such an all around caring and compassionate professor. Takes the time to understand each student's specific circumstances and is incredibly fair. Not a lot of grade opportunities so make sure you do really well on the exams. Overall, very ethical and intelligent professor. Learned a lot.

This was a great class. You can tell he wants his students to succeed. Do well on the tests and you should be fine. Overall, he is a caring and knowledgeable professor.

His class was very interesting, lectures weren't boring if you're interested in the material and looking to learn more about Public Relations. He's very nice and helpful if you reach out to him. We worked on a project for a good portion of the class and it was really refreshing to not have a class so centered around tests. I loved the class!

One of the best teachers that I have had. Really took his time to explain each concept fully. I learned so much from his class. If you don't understand something he is more than willing to help. I would love to have him as a teacher again!

Ron was a great professor. We had one open-book exam, a chapter presentation in the beginning of the semester, and then a huge case study book and presentation due in the last day of class. The environment was pretty laid back which allowed my group to work during class and get to know each other pretty well. If you put in the effort, you get an A.

Very kind professor who won't hesitate to help out students. The exams were harder than expected, but if you attend class and go over the powerpoints really well you will be fine. Good introduction to Public Relations.

The tests were very specific, but questions came straight from the power points for the most part! He is a really nice guy and willing to help with anything you need help with

Ron Anderson is great! He is always there to talk with students whether about school or something else. He really cares about his students and wants them to understand the material so he is not opposed to working one-on-one with you. He takes on a unique perspective on every topic that we covered in class and encourages his students to do the same.

Ron is very passionate about what he does and it shows through the way he treats his students and the lesson plans. He is always trying to make the material interesting and humorous. He also likes to surf and enjoys talking about it, so bring it up when you take his class. You won't be sorry.

Ron is the best, class was relaxed and Ron got to know every single student. Truly cares about his students

Professor Anderson was a delight to have as a professor. I was in need of lots of help regarding the tests and he met my needs for all four tests. This professor will do anything to help his students. I highly recommend this professor to any UT student who wants a great learning experience with PR. I would definitely want him as a professor again.

Ron is a great professor, at times he can be a tad confusing but he has your best intention at hand! Very sweet guy, just needs to be more organized. Take his class!

Ron is a great guy, he really cares for his students especially the ones who try and show up to lecture. If you memorize his slides verbatim you will easily get an A in this class. He also helps students prep for each test as he walks through all the material telling students what they should emphasize their studies on. Take him!

Ron has been a great professor! I took PR 319 and PR352 with him. He'll always help out if you're confused or need some help on assignments. He's also very easy to talk to and not intimidating. Be sure to pay attention in class and stay attentive. Show up, pay attention, and work hard-- if you do this he'll have your back. "Don't forget to floss!"

Ron was a great professor! I had Ron for PR 319 & PR352. He definitely cares about his students and helps out whenever possible. If you show up to lecture and work hard, you'll be fine. He explains all of the material in class and gives students an opportunity to ask questions. I'd definitely take his classes again.

He's a great professor that cares about the success of his students. The class is interesting and he makes it easy to understand the material and succeed. What you put in is what you'll get out. He's a relaxed guy and will treat you like a peer and not a student in a class of 200.

He was a very helpful professor who encourages a professional atmosphere. Favorite UT professor

Professor Anderson is a nice professor and is very helpful. The class is pretty interesting and he is a cool guy. I definitely recommend taking this class! Study the slides and you should be fine.

Anderson was a great professor and was very knowledgeable about PR. His experience was outstanding and he was always cracking jokes. He gave pop quizzes but would almost always tell you when they would be (especially if you asked him in office hours). Tests were all MC and TF. Powerpoints were critical to study and the book was only about 10%

He is very knowledgable about this field and takes the time to make sure that everyone who wants to learn has the opportunity to do so. He provided feedback throughout the semester and was always available to answer students' questions. Fair in workload and grading. Definitely the kind of professor you want to take multiple classes from. A+ Prof

Ron is a very good professor always willing to help you out in your case studies. Also when you present your cases he will make dialogue with you that helps you understand the case more, he's very knowledgeable on social marketing campaigns. Also a great person, willing to go beyond the class to help you develop your career.

Took Ron for both PR 319 and PR 352 and enjoyed both. His class is always dynamic and interesting and he really makes an effort to get to know his students. Going to office hours is SUPER beneficial. He's really willing to look over papers and give you feedback before you submit them. Overall, Ron offers great insight into the PR industry.

Really enjoyed Ron's class, he's a very enjoyable teacher and really cares about his students. I would definitely suggest taking advantage of office hours and getting to know Ron. He is a very well connected guy and always very willing to help you with recommendation letters, career advice, study tips, etc...

Professor Anderson was very helpful to me in my PR 319 class. He really provided awesome feedback and suggestions to my strategic plan and was very supportive of me outside of the class. 10/10 would recommend.

Professor Anderson ("Ron") is a seasoned PR professional and a cool professor. I took PR 352 in the fall semester of my senior year, and the class wasn't bad at all; most of the assignments are fair group projects and presentations. Ron is approachable, super friendly, and willing to help, so put your best foot forward, and you'll do just fine.

I enjoyed taking PR 305 this semester with him. I dreaded almost all of my other lectures , but found the lecture for this class to be fun! He even brought in guest speakers!! I took this course to decide on double majoring with PR, and realized within the first few weeks that it was definitely something I want to do. Thank you Dr. Anderson!!

This class was super easy. If you go to class, and study the power points, you are guaranteed an A. Although some people feel like they don't learn much, I would say that it's because they don't put enough effort. If you really want to learn the material, then read the book. However, the book isn't necessary. Overall, he was a pretty laid back prof

I thoroughly enjoyed this class, and the professor. The content was very interesting, and I learned a great deal from professor Anderson. The tests aren't too bad, if you show up to all the lectures, and do the reading, you should get an A. The professor is very passionate about what he teaches, so the class is very enjoyable.

Was kind of worried about the class when I came in, however he knows what he is talking about and his lectures are very interesting and informational. He is a great professor to take because he does not mind taking extra time to make sure you know the information. Also he always informs you what to study specifically for the test.

PR 305 with Professor Anderson was an enjoyable course as a Business student. The class is not hard as long as you review the PowerPoint presentations before the exams you will be fine. He gives quizzes the class before the exam but those are given 100 because he lets you use notes. Personally I enjoyed how PR tight in with business great professor

Ron Anderson adds quality enrichment to the class by giving students the power to determine the fate of their course. Very transparent with rules and grading policies. I would choose Ron every semester if I could.

Great teacher. Really enjoyed his class. His teaching style makes his students get excited about PR. He really cares about his students and he is more than willing to help you get ready for his tests. Tests are all multiple choice and straight forward.

Ron is super fun, definantly wants you to succeed in his class and enjoy the subject matter. He'll really help you out if you need, just ask. Exams are straight-forward, there are extra-credit opportunities, and plenty of laughs. Take Ron's class and you will learn alot without being stressed out all the time. It's how college should be.

Great speaker/lecturer. Easy-going and approachable to speak to. Willing to answer questions and help you out. Tells you exactly what you need to know for the exams.

Great professor! My older sister suggested that I take a class with him and I'm glad she did! His lectures are interesting and he is very funny. He knows the topic he teaches very well and takes his time when he is teaching. He is very approachable and helpful! Study his powerpoints if you want to do well on the test!

Professor Anderson is wonderful. The real world experience he has had with public relations makes him such a credible source for valuable information about the field and his lectures are never boring. He is really helpful throughout projects and very understanding of the stress of college, so he's very accommodating when it comes to deadlines.

Ron always replies to emails quickly and gave so many opportunities for extra credit. There were a few times he randomly took attendance, but you could even make that grade up with extra credit if you missed the class day. Just study the powerpoints he posts online before the tests. There's an optional non-cumulative final that helped my grade.

Great Professor! Go to class, look at the powerpoints before the tests and you should be fine. Three tests an an optional final that really helped my grade. Would take him again any day!

Professor Anderson is an awesome professor. He cares that his students succeed, and will do everything in his power to help you out. The Ketchum Mindfire assignments were also a fun and enjoyable experience.

Professor Anderson does a great job at guiding you through your research, but still gives you enough independence to where you actually get to experience what it is like to run your own research. He is very approachable, and has a lot of valuable experience in his field. I strongly recommend PR/ ADV majors to do research with him!

One of my favorite professors ever. Ron has some interesting lectures that you could learn quite a bit from. Offers extra credit and is always accessible outside of class. Tests are not too bad, pay attention to the powerpoints and you're golden
