The course is implemented on campus. The classes marked in the reading schedule are contact teaching on campus, unless otherwise specifically instructed. Lessons or group work cannot be attended remotely and are not recorded. Student groups can also organize their own meetings online.

The course prepares a marketing campaign plan for the selected product. Each small group has a different product.

Each week there is a common lecture on one topic for everyone (See "Content and timing")
The following week, the small groups will present a part of this topic related to their own product (PowerPoint presentation, return to Its and presentation in group work class).
During the following week, the small groups write the corresponding chapter in their marketing plan (MS Word) based on the presentation and the comments received from it, and return it to Its.
At the end of the course, a final marketing plan is compiled from these plans and presented.

Assessment methods and criteria

Presentations of group works:
The whole group must be involved in presenting the work, i.e. group work hours are mandatory. 1 absence/student is allowed without penalty or explanation. After that, each absence without an acceptable reason lowers the grade by one digit. 4 or more absences will cause the course to be failed.

Absences are acceptable due to illness, a child's illness or another compelling reason. The reason for the absence must be verified to the teacher. Working or participating in other education is not an acceptable reason.

Everyone must make an equal contribution to doing the work. If a member of the group does not participate in the work, the group must report the matter to the teacher, who will clarify the matter by discussing it with the group. If the student has not participated in the individual group work at all without an acceptable reason, the group must omit his name from the return of the group work. This also means that the course will be failed for the student.

Group work presentations are evaluated on a scale of 0 (Rejected), 1-5. As a rule, the whole group gets the same grade.
Group work plans are evaluated as Pass/Fail. All must be returned with approval.

The whole plan (return in the last week) is rated 0 (Rejected), 1-5. A rejected plan means the entire course is failed. As a rule, the whole group gets the same grade,

The average of the grades of group work presentations constitutes 60% of the grade of the entire course.
The grade of the entire plan constitutes 40% of the grade of the entire course.
As a general rule, the whole group gets the same grade, but if necessary, the matter can be discussed with the teacher, if this is deemed necessary.
