3-4: The campaign includes two or more media, mathematics are correct and the campaign has been built according to instructions. Student provides arguments for his/her campaign and ad format solutions. Banner design is quite good, CTA taken into account.
5: The campaign includes two or more media, mathematics are correct and campaign has been built according to instructions. Targeting pricing (if applicable) has been taken into account. Banner stands out. Student provides arguments for his/her solutions, which demonstrate expertise.
GROUP ASSIGNMENTS:
1st Assignment: Website traffic and how to increase it organically (SEO) and by paying (SEA) (30%), multiply assignment grade by 6
0: The assignment hasn’t been returned in time. The references and tools haven’t been used, or the evaluation and suggestions are incorrect. The work shows that the group has not understood the meaning of search engine optimization. Plagiarism more than 25%.
1-2: The evaluation doesn’t cover all the required aspects. The use of references is insufficient.
3-4: All the required aspects are covered and the use of references is sufficient and correct. Group has made searches using keywords. A grade of 4 requires, among other things, that the team's development proposals are clearly based on the results provided by the tools and that the advertising campaign is meaningful and logical.
5: The evaluation shows that the group has a very good understanding of the topic: evaluation shows in-depth understanding of SEO and SEA. Use of references is versatile and correct.
2nd = Final Assignment: Build a digital marketing strategy for a small company (30%), multiply points by 6:
0: The assignment hasn’t been returned in time. The elements of the strategy are irrelevant, ie. don’t belong to a strategy. It doesn’t include the elements discussed in the course. References aren’t used. Plagiarism more than 25%.
1-2: The strategy is very limited, and the instructions are followed only partially. The elements are few and loose and don’t build up to a logical entity. The use of references is limited and only partly correct. The work does not demonstrate research and commitment to the work. The presentation is below average verbally and visually.
3-4: The strategy contains all the elements needed. The work shows that students understand the essentials of the digital marketing strategy. The elements form a logical entity without any gaps, and references are used correctly and sufficiently. The chosen actions support the objectives, and several, high quality references are used. The presentation is on satisfactory level.
5: The work demonstrates an in-depth understanding of digital marketing strategy work. All the aspects are covered in a professional way, the strategy is diverse. The references are versatile, and the presentation is of high quality.
In group assignments: when assessing the performance of an individual student, peer evaluation (within a group) is in use. In other words, the student's group work activity effects on the course grade.

Assessment methods and criteria
Reading circles (3) and oral presentations of reading circles (3) - assessment 1-5 (teacher assessment)
Project implementation:
Implementation of the event - written implementation plan for the project in small groups and implementation on the event days - assessment 1-5 (written part omitted)
Peer and self-assessment on a scale of 1-5, will have an indicative effect on the final grade
Final written reflection assessment 1-5 (teacher assessment, forms the basis of the evaluation)
Participation on Congress Delegation Survey.
Assessment criteria, fail (0)
Completions (reading&learning circles, final reflection) are incomplete and do not meet the minimum requirements, and supplements are not returned on time, OR the student does not participate in the planning and implementation of either one of the events 1 or 2.
Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2)
Project work and preparatory reading&learning circles
The student/group works independently, but not fully in line with the objectives of the curriculum. No guidance is used. The knowledge base is unilaterally covered in the reading&learning circle and applied in the project. The presentation of selected perspectives and own conclusions is weak and some of the objectives of the course are not achieved. The outputs of the reading circles do not include critical reflection or synthesis. The small group project implementation plan based on the reading circle proposals does not clearly support the implementation of the small group project or is incomplete and overly detailed.
Final reflection
Reflection does not demonstrate mastery of the reading and reflection remains superficial. The learning from the event implementation (project) is either self-evident or superficial. Reflection is one-sided and/or brief. Lack of teamwork. Absences.
Assessment criteria, good (3-4)
GRADE 3
Project work and preparatory reading&learning circles:
The student/group is proactive, innovative and critical to some extent and makes good use of the learning material. The selection and use of the theoretical knowledge base and the latest research findings are quite varied and appropriate to the topic. The readings are discussed and the overall issues are presented in a largely logical and clear manner.
The output contains critical thinking and is active. The outputs of the reading circles are partly useful for the implementation of the project.
Final reflection
The reflection will return to the theoretical knowledge base and will be complemented by the lessons learned and the project experience. Reflection is quite complex or partly analytical, reflecting on what has been learned. The reflection paper is a coherent whole, in line with the assignment.
Fairly active participation in the planning and implementation of the event or teamwork to be developed.
Grade 4 fulfills the requirements for grade 3, yet does not cover enough criteria to be a 5.
Assessment criteria, excellent (5)
Project work and preparatory reading&learning circles:
The student/group draws on the resources and skills of the whole group. There is good preparation and clear interest in the topic of the learning circle. The student/group is able to critically analyse different possible solutions for the project and to build a customer-oriented package taking into account the different perspectives and constraints of the event implementation. The student/group has received feedback constructively and has also used it during the project work. The work of the group is dialogical and develops the knowledge and skills of all participants.
Final reflection:
The reflection is a logical and coherent whole. The reflection clearly demonstrates a comprehensive knowledge of the theoretical background and the business context, the application of the knowledge base to the project and the structuring of the learning. The text is analytical and partly critical.
Active participation in the planning and implementation of the event as part of a team.

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.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4)
Project work:
The student/the group of students works in a fairly proactive and coordinated way towards the objectives of the project and the course, and is able to share knowledge within the group to some extent, as well as to make use of tutor and peer feedback. The student/group makes some legitimate use of the relevant knowledge base and the work is at times systematic, critical and generative of some new ideas. The output is largely justified by the knowledge base and reflects the skills needed in wellness industry. The student/the group performs well in its area of responsibility in organising the event.
Assessment criteria, excellent (5)
Project work:
The student/the group works in an active and coordinated way, in dialogue with each other, drawing on each other's expertise, teacher and peer feedback. The knowledge base is broad and the sources relevant to the objectives. Theory and method(s) are applied successfully and justifiably throughout the project work. The end result is customer-oriented, innovative and professional.
