3. Pedagogy Marketing II uses a mix of readings, cases, and one industry-specific assignments to stimulate participant learning. The course relies heavily on cases. Student preparation, presence, and participation are thus essential for the pedagogy to work. Case preparation must go beyond descriptive facts because we will not have time to explain or reiterate case information in the classroom. In class discussion, however, students must back up their arguments with case facts. Each student would be assigned a grade for class participation based on the quality and quantity of his/her in-class comments.
