Thank you–My experience with the marketing plan assignments

The marketing plan assignments are the longest team assignment I have attended which you have to work in the same team from the beginning of the term to the end. These marketing plan assignments made me learn a lot.

Except for the course, these assignments again, let me know that marketing is developed from research. Only you have clearly understood the current environment, customers, and any other relevant information can you better communicate with your targets.

In my team, I acted as a researcher. Formerly, I considered that I only have to collect all the relative information. However, through these assignments, I learnt that I this was not my own assignment and my teammates did not read all pieces of information; therefore, I should also organize my information and make it friendly viewed so that my teammates could get to the point immediately. This experience taught me to think from a team.

Communication is an important in a team. I think that our team was lack of communication. Most of the time, we got together to discuss when we started the new assignment and assigned each other’s work, then we would not communicate at the end. As I look back now, if I could spend some time on communicating with other teammates or make everyone in the team to follow up frequently, we would do better. For example, if we could follow up when we work in our process, we could immediately found the mistake and correct it instead of gathering at the last minutes.

In the next time, I would challenge myself. Instead of choosing what I am skilled at, I would choose some tasks that I have not done before or I am not good at. Since we are at school, I think that I do not have to worry about the result, but the process and experience.  Moreover, I am in a team and we can help each other.

Lastly, I want to thank you my team. Thank you to make me grow, make me learn and make me laugh.
