Advice from MRK224 Section SS Winter 2004

Subject: The Best Advice
Many people who have had Selia or have taken the SSC 100 course know that that course was not as challenging as the others you might have had during that semester. One of the major things you will have to do is not take this course lightly. At first, the projects seem fairly simple but can be very irritating and time consuming. To avoid this, you MUST go to class. For most of the assignments, Selia will give a tutorial on how to effectively use the tools needed to do the assignment. So BE THERE when she does this. And finally, continuously check the MySeneca site for any updates. This is the place where the prof. communicates with you regarding everything from the course. And don't forget to read the read the required text. It contains some very useful information and tips.

Subject: Complete all assignments in advance!!
Well,
this has definitely been an interesting semester, and I have learned a lot. If I have to give advice to the students starting this course, I would definitely tell them to attend all classes, and make sure their assignments are completed ahead of time. The reason I say this is because the assignments, a lot of them, deal with webpages, and sites, it is a smart idea to complete them with time to spare, so then all you have to do is edit them. The hardest part of this course is making sure your webpage shows up and that all the links are in tact. It is a smart thing to complete everything with time to spare, so that you can fix something if you need to. Furthermore, come to class, Selia is a great teacher, who you can learn a lot from. It is important to attend class.

Finally: Best of Luck, it is a fun course, and you will enjoy it!!!

Subject: Take it from me!
The best way to be ahead in this course is to do assignments as soon as they are given, its so easy to forget them and before you know it time runs out on you! Ask, Ask, Ask and Ask some more, dont be afraid to say you don't know, because if you don't you'll remain ignorant, and that's not cool... and besides if you happen to have the great Dr. Karsten as a prof. life in MKT224 becomes even sweeter. Try to have fun, as much fun as possible, it makes your work much more interesting.

Subject: advice
Do all the work, it's worth it and do it as soon as it's assigned to you so that if you are having any difficulty you have enough time to get helpand get it done!!! TRUST ME!!!!

Subject: Dont drop this course!!!!
I got stuck taking this course in 4th semester and it has been such frustration!

Do it in semester 2 and pick your group wisely, or you will get stuck doing all the work!

And if people aren't pulling their weight TELL THE TEACHER and let them get the crappy marks.

Subject: best advice!
The best advice i can give to future students taking this course would be:
1)pay attention in class
2)Use the website throughly!
3)and finally, communicate with your teacher to confront them with problems you have so they can help you out.

All of these things will help out future students in becoming successful in this course.

Subject: My Advice...
My personal advice on the course would be to check the my seneca site, and be on top of things. Keep up with all the forums and make sure that they are complete on time. They are easy marks, that will help your GPA. The only problem that I had in the course was that I did not complete some of the forums on time, and I probably should have put some more effort into my presentations.

Subject: The best advice to MRK 224 students
To acheive a good grade in this course, the most important factor is to participate in class. Don't be shamed when you speak in front of the class. Don't skip any lessons, otherwise you will be behind. "Practise makes perfect" It is really really true. I also can feel that my presentation skills have improved a lot. Although it is still not good enough, I think i will be better.
Remember Guys, Don't be panic when you speak to the class~!~!~!

Advice for Marketing Presentations

1-Make sure you come to class, it is very important to not miss any classes even when they are at 8:00 am. Trust me missing one day feels like you fell behind a week.
2-Read all the weekly notes they are there to help you. When projects are due or when you need to have something done for the next class that is where you will find the information.
3-Do all the forums, it is an easy way to get marks. Each forum is easy to complete so insure you do them every week. It is easy to fall behind with the forums so ensure you make a routine when you first start the class.
4-If you do not know how to use power point to its full potential then ensure to read about creating power point presentation on the course homepage.
5-Before starting the team websites make sure you know how to create them otherwise it can be very frustrating…buy a webpage book. The guys in the learning commons really help too!
6-When choosing your team ensure you are not just choosing them because they are your friends. Good teammates can really help you succeed in this class. When you can work well together as a team and share advice on ways to present better, those are the team mates you want.
7-When you do not understand something talk to Selia she will help. Don’t be afraid to ask for help (that could make a difference between an A and a C).
8-Within the first week of class try to get comfortable with the classroom and its surroundings. This can really help when you are presenting.
9-Know how to use the black board system to its full potential, this class revolves around the computer. So you need to know how to use the computer and be comfortable with it.
10-Last by not least be comfortable when presenting, be positive. Know what you are saying and convince the audience that you know your stuff. The difference between a good presenter and a poor one is to be comfortable, positive, know your information and interact with the audience. Grab the audience’s attention at the beginning of the presentation. Always start off with a hook, think of your presentation like an essay, and make the audience want to know more.

**This class can be tons of fun if you stay on top and don’t procrastinate. Good luck and if you follow these tips you will succeed in Selia’s class, she is a great teacher!**

The best advice I can give to the following classes are as follows:

1) Choose your team wisely. The group I had was awesome cuz we all got along great and that probably somewhat helped our marks
2) In general this class is not hard, come to class (even if you don't have to present) and you'll get participation marks.
3) Make sure to pay attention to the tutorials for the web pages and the team web pages, they will help. Also buy/borrow a web page book from the library or whereever. If you have friends that are in Computer Programming it helps too. You can find all you need regarding web pages on the net.

Subject: Greatest Advice You Will Ever Hear....
GO TO CLASS...and i am not even joking about this one. Normally with any other subject you could miss one class and then catch up by reading the text book. However, for this class there are alot of projects with consist of extensive instructions that everyone must hear inorder to get it done fast and get it done right. Another thing is don't leave the project until the last minute. Most of the projects are on the computer and sometimes computers are not actually that friendly. Also when you working in a group it is harder to get things done compared to if you were doing it solo...so then again try not to leave things to the last minute because then there will come a time where you can;t get a hold of anyone and things just don't get done
Just follow these two points and the course will be so enjoyable.

My advice to be successful is do your work. All of it, dont neglect the little things such as these fourms. I did and i regret it, so many easy marks gone done the drain that i cant make up no matter how good my other work was. Also, take control of your groups, dont let anyone slack. My group was one of the most successful groups cuz we all took control at certain points in the semester.

Subject: Best Advice......
Pay attention and GO TO CLASS. I know it may not seem like a big deal but if you don't go to class you will miss so much. You also must pay attention because if you don't you will have to ask questions later (Selia gets angry when you don't pay attention he he). Other then that all I can say is try your best and work hard and if you don't get it right away or if you have problems ask for help and you will achieve what you want. Also don't sweat the small stuff.

Subject: The best advice
My advice for people taking this course is STAY ON TOP OF YOUR WORK! That is the most important if you do that you should be just fine. Also, no matter what you do be creative, talk to the audience and most importantly don't be afraid. It really shows when you're up there in front of your peers.

In my opinion,the participation is very important in this class. This class has a lot of team works, so you need to have a good relationship with your classmates, don't be afraid to talk with your classmates and teacher. It is good for you to practice your presentation. Besides, you need to control your working time and set a deadline for youself to finish your work, if not you will get trouble because the prepration of presentation is very important.
Finally, hope you will have a nice time in this class. I am so enjoy to do the project with my classmates.

I think the best advice I can give for this class is to participate. It helps you understand what is going on and helps you stay on top of things. Enjoy what you are doing and don't be afraid to ask questions. With the team work make sure you choose a group who has the same interests as you so your website can reflect that.
