Class participation is different from attendance. Class participation implies involvement on the students’ part. Involvement can take the form of questions, answers, sharing of experiences, readings, active participation in email/chat exchanges, etc. Please note that 20% of your final grade consists of participation assessment. In other words, it will be very difficult to pass this course if you decide to be passive. You will turn in THREE self-evaluations of your participation. For the second and third self evaluations, you will specifically describe how you addressed the weaknesses of your previous participation, as observed by yourself in the previous assessment, and remedied. As you can read from the list of articles available for reading before class, you will have plenty of opportunities to participate in discussions. The textbook for this course is: Principles of Advertising & IMC, by Tom Duncan, McGraw-Hill/Irwin (2d ed.) Studying the assigned textbook is critical to your success in this course. You may also use this textbook as a desk reference once you complete this course. Therefore, you are required to purchase the textbook. Final Examination: As per GIMPA’s policies and traditions. Grading: 1. Final Exam: 40% 2. Oral Project Presentation: 40% 3.
