Learning Teaching & Assessment Strategy:
Lectures and assigned readings are used to disseminate materials exploring theory, concepts and techniques in Integrated Marketing Communications, and guest lecturers from industry will share their professional experience and knowledge. Tutorials, which encourage discussion and participation, will further develop your understanding of the theory, concepts and techniques through the use of problems and case studies. In groups, you will prepare and present solutions to problems and case studies. All Learning Outcomes are supported by lectures, tutorials and associated reading. LOs 1, 2, and 3 are summatively assessed by a group assignment based on a case study. LO 3 is formatively assessed within tutorial activities. LOs 1 and 3 are summatively assessed by a time-constrained examination undertaken at the end of the module. Oral formative feedback is given during tutorials and written summative feedback of the group assignment is provided after the assessment period. The module addresses ESD through content on ethics and CSR.
