Points will not be deducted for missed class-work for one class. However, for additional class-work missed, points will be deducted. Formal grades will not be assigned for such write-ups but they will be evaluated for satisfactory performance. There are a total of six tutorials involving computer and video based exercises where students will complete and submit assignments. Throughout the semester, postings to First Class on current topics will be due.
Students can miss one posting without deduction in grade.
Additionally, one make-up posting by the last day of class will be allowed. The course emphasizes hands-on experience and applications. Therefore, a sizable portion of the grade is for a marketing research project. You will work in a group which will serve as a resource for completing several assignments. It should be noted that most of these assignments are individual assignments, i.e., your grade will be determined by individual work.
