- Assignments, Exams and Tests: Course Deliverables
In addition to all assigned readings, all students are responsible for two core assignments during the semester; online comments and responses on course material, and a semester long planning/management final project, to be completed in staged increments throughout the semester.
Participation
Students will participate in online discussions of course material. Cases will be required most weeks to both emphasize particular points of the lecture topic and to familiarize the student with real-life practice of social marketing. Each student is required to post comments weekly to each thread in the online discussion board and to respond to at least two comments submitted by fellow students. Comments and responses must be completed within the assignment period. Failure to do so will result in a zero for that section. Comments and responses will be assessed based on whether the student has provided an informed comment/response. This assessment is based on the instructor’s view of whether the student demonstrates a grasp of the material being covered in the respective section, and not on particular “right and wrong” comments or responses.
Written assignments
In each study section, students will deliver an assigned draft of one section of their final project, the project plan. The draft plan section requirements are described in the course syllabus outline section. In addition, each student will provide a short summary of the barriers that arose in completing that section of the plan, and the means used to overcome the barriers. This summary can also be used for the discussion board comments each student will be posting during each study section. Plan reports will be assessed based on whether the student has accurately described a respective planning activity and demonstrated an understanding of relationship to the previous planning step and to the next step.
Examinations: There will be no examinations.
Final Project
All students will develop a project planning/management final project. The instructor will provide a “mock” social marketing plan (the Class Case), as the foundation for developing a project management plan. Each student will develop a plan independently. The project will be completed in staged increments throughout the semester, with supervision and mentoring from faculty. Plans will be submitted as a digital file. The completed paper is due at the end of the thirteenth week. The final two weeks of the semester will be dedicated exclusively to final production of plans. During that time each student will submit their plan to three classmates for peer review and comment. This plan development activity is designed to assist students to learn planning processes that can be generalized to real world environments and provide flexible, “doable” management approaches.
