Assessment Criteria/ specific instructions
You are to produce a Portfolio of work for this module. The aim of the portfolio is to test your ability to analyse information you have collected from a variety of sources. Completing the portfolio will allow you to develop a deeper understanding of Marketing and how theories and concepts relate to each other. You will also have the opportunity to reflect on your performance and working practices. The portfolio should be developed during the course of the semester and seminar time will be used to discuss and check your progress. It is therefore important that you bring your completed portfolio work to class during weeks 3, 5, 8 and 10

The portfolio will have 3 sections

Please note that the format of this element of assessment is a report. It is expected that you will submit a well-structured paper with accurate Harvard referencing. Your portfolio may also contain appropriate referenced illustrations such as figures, tables, graphs, etc. Work may be penalised if the standard of English, numeracy or presentation adversely affects the quality of the work, or where the work submitted exceeds the word count, or where the work fails to acknowledge sources

Students may not submit drafts for formative feedback prior to final submission of assessment, however there will be time in seminars where draft outlines can be review. Please do not send work to your tutor for comment.
