Adv 91: This has been the most informative class I have ever taken on a topic that I am truly intrigued by, advertising. I have taken classes that have obviously taught me a lot, but I feel as though those classes were not going to benefit much in the future (I'm talking about meteorology and calculus). But this class, I have learned so much! I thoroughly enjoyed the lectures, and although they may have been long some days, I always wanted to stay. I started off college as a psychology major, then switched to Marketing because I was interested in promoting and arousing the interest of consumers of my product. I thought marketing would be right up my alley. However, I learned that business was not my forte. I felt business was constricting my creativity. It bored me, writing papers on minimum wage and price ceilings was so lackluster. But I was still interested in the whole creative promotion of a product. I looked through my course handbook, and tried finding a major that would somehow suit this desire I had. I found advertising, and I had a feeling that is where I belonged. However, I didn't change my major quite yet, I wanted to test it out, take a couple classes that fell under the major, and see if I liked it. So this semester I gave adv 91 a shot, and I have to admit this class is the reason I am sure I want to switch my major to advertising. I'm so happy I got the opportunity to take this class and I hope to take more classes in the future with Professor Delacruz. This class was so inspirational and so enlightening and I am seriously so happy I finally know what I want to do with my life/career/etc. Thank you for an awesome info-filled semester! I can leave your class and say I have learned a lot!
