Hours and hours of research, discussions, writing, and video production.  The marketing plan assignments were definitely not an easy feat.  But then again, neither is any major achievement in life.  Much like Comm 101, the marketing assignments were gruelling (especially the video project), but at the end of it, I felt like I actually learned something and developed skills that were useful and practical.  We see the product of such hard work all the time, whether it be a 30 second advertisement or a 3 hour movie, but we rarely get to see or experience what goes on behind the scenes of making such productions.  Having done the assignment, I definitely appreciated all the other teams’ work a lot more, and I feel like the assignment has given me a foundation to improve my skills upon.  This is similar to what Comm 101 did in terms of case analysis and presentation skills, and although I didn’t learn everything about case analysis or presentation skills in Comm 101, it did spark my interest in it and instilled the idea that I have much more to learn.  The only suggestion that I have would be to remove or at least lengthen the time limit on the video project, as our group felt limited by it, and I felt a lot of great content was cut out because of it.
