May 5 & 7 (last week of class)
Dear Consumer Behavior Students.
I can not believe that this week is our last week of class. I would personally like to thank each and every one of you for doing your best to complete the assignments given during this time. I had never taught online before and you all know I love being in class and infront of, and interacting with students. I was caught a bit off guard when I suddenly had to switch to an online environment. Truth be told, I was not prepared to switch so drastically to an online environment, and was not as prepared as much as I would have like to have been. I did not even know what Zoom was or how to use it. I did not have my lectures online or prerecorded like many of the other instructors. I am hoping that in the Fall, classes will resume and we can all be together, but if you do take more classes from me, and we are online, I will have all lectures and classes live online using a Zoom platform as video and audio to interact with all of you. I will take this summer to figure out how to deliver the best classroom, no classroom experience online. I miss your smiling faces.
Bravo! to all for learning consumer behavior on your own, these past months. I am proud of each and every one of you, and although it was not an optimal learning experience, I hope the text, lecture notes and assignments gave you some insight to consumer behavior and how understanding your customer, and how they think, feel, behave and interpret information is key to a successful business, marketing campaign, and selling strategy.
You have one exam left, (below), Exam 4: chapter 12, 13, 14 which will be due on May 7. This will be our last day of class. Research Paper 3: Consumption & Culture will also be due on May 7, Since we are not meeting in person, you will not be required to prepare a PowerPoint presentation. Just write you answers in a Word document and send to me.
Have a wonderful summer. Please come see me, or take more Marketing classes in the Fall. Phone me, write me anytime with any questions you may have about life, career, colleges, grad school etc. I wish I could have had a chance to get to know you all better. You truly are a great group of students. Go take life by the horns, and crush it in whatever you set out to do.
I can't believe we only have two weeks left of school. I wish you all could have experienced this class face-to-face, but hope you got something out of it, and learned a bit along the way.
Thanks you all for submitting your exams this week. I will be correcting them this week and getting your grades back to you.
This week: Read Chapter 14: Age Subcultures and review the lecture notes. Next week: I will post your final Exam 4: 12, 13, 14 (due on May 7) Research Paper 3: Consumption & Culture will also be due on May 7, so budget your time accordingly.

Greetings Consumer Behavior Students
I hope everyone is staying healthy and not stressing out too much about all that is going on around us. CCSF has asked that instructors post on Canvas in addition to their own websites. If you get a Canvas Notification, rest assured, it is the same information as you are fining on my ccsfmarketing.com website.
Here is what we have planned for the week of March 17 & 19
Read chapter 9: Buying & Disposing and go online to ccsfmarketing.com and download my lecture notes under the Consumer Behavior tab, Lectures. On March 19th, I will post EXAM 2: 4, 5, 6, 8. Answers will be due in my inbox at [email protected] on March 24th by 12:30 pm.
Don't forget when emailing me your answers to put your Name & MRKT150 Exam 2 in the subject box.
I have prepared an excel answer sheet for you to download and put your answers in. Please do not put your answers as part of the email, but rather as an attachment.
As always, I am here to help. Email me at [email protected] with any questions, or call me at 415.452.5916.
