Week of May 5 & 7
Dear Marketers:
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 marketing and understanding the 4P's, consumer behavior, target marketing, and environmental management can assist any one starting a new business or thinking about a job in marketing. Marketing truely is a wonderful and exciting profession.
