The marketing assignments helped me gain more insight and understanding of marketing in general and it’s to amazement how important it is in business.  Getting information on a real company and analysing its marketing strategies  enabled me to link what I learn in the marketing class and how they fit in the real world and how this knowledge is applied by big corporations in their various activities.

The assignments gave me the opportunity to do more research and learn more particularly in the world of marketing. As a result, the assignment also pushed me to develop researching skills.

However, assignment 3 was different from the rest because we had to do a video presentation. The content to present wasn’t much different from what our team did in the writing assignments but different skills were required.

From learning the content in class, applying it to a real company, the video required us to present about the marketing strategies of the subject company.  Dressing up and looking presentable and communicating clearly to the audience were more skills to prove or acquire as a result of assignment 3.

Working as a group means we had to share and discuss ideas and this was beneficial to every group member. Attending meetings and getting the work done as a team meant collaborating positively with every member of the team and supporting each other.

In general, the assignments were helpful in linking what we learn in class and the application of the knowledge itself. In addition to that,  the assignments allowed every member to develop team building skills such as communicating skills and other business skills.
