Assessment Rationale And Relationship

The assignment in Semester 1 will enable students to identify an organisation and conduct a situational analysis which will draw on the key issues discussed in semester 1. From this objectives will be set eg. developing the audience; increasing funding or recruiting volunteers and a proposal for a markeitng plan/ event will be written. The report allows students to display written skills through succinctly producing a proposal for a event/ plan.

The assignment in Semester 2 will allow students the opportunity to gain valuable practical experience of developing an outline event / plan using the knowledge they have gained during the module. The Event/ Plan allows students to have practical experience of dealing with a 'real' marketing situation and develop their investigative and written skills.

Students will apply the knowledge gained during the lectures in both elements of the assessment.
