higher education accessible to a group of individuals who otherwise might not have an opportunity to earn a college degree. It is designed to make efficient use of the working professionals time, with the courses being scheduled at times and places convenient to working adults, and a majority of the instruction occurring through guided learning assignments and activities, both individual and group. The curriculum is structured and sequential in nature, with specific goals, learning activities, and learning outcomes explicit in every course and in every degree program. The students in this division enter as cohorts and are accepted for the entire program rather than individual courses. The courses themselves offer an appropriate blend of theory and practice, liberal arts, and career activities. Specifically, the Associate of Arts (AA) in Liberal Arts (with Business Preparation) is a lowerlevel undergraduate degree program designed for the working adult. The curriculum focuses on skills development in the areas of communication, mathematics, economics, critical analysis, and basic management skills. PROGRAM GOALS AND OBJECTIVES 1. To provide the adult student who is presently in the workplace with the opportunity to enhance his/her career through the acquisition of relevant skills and the earning of an associate degree. 2. To provide the adult student with the necessary components of Centenarys general education requirements, as well as required credits to qualify for the Colleges Associate of Arts degree. 3. To provide the adult student with the educational skills and level necessary for continuation in a baccalaureate degree program. 4. To incorporate the goals and objectives of the Colleges core curriculum. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY2 STUDY GROUP GUIDELINES All undergraduate students within the Centenary Adult and Professional Studies (CAPS) program are required to meet with study groups for the duration of the program. Study groups work together on guided learning assignments and activities and support one another in the process. The study group activities ordinarily require meeting times of at least four hours weekly. Students will schedule these sessions at a time, method, and location that is mutually convenient and conducive to learning activities. Study groups are expected to use email, chat sessions, teleconferences, and face-to-face meetings each week to complete guided learning

assignments and activities. Each student is expected to contribute to the completion of all study group assignments and activities. Study groups as a tool are enthusiastically supported by CAPS. Research indicates that study groups are extremely beneficial in helping students achieve learning outcomes. When students accept that they can learn from one another, a system of trust and support emerges and the learning process becomes interactive. Study group students meet outside of the required class time to discuss and prepare assignments and to share learning resources. Each course generally requires a group project in the form of a written and/or oral report, usually presented to the class for discussion and critique. Grades are awarded reflecting the groups ability to integrate each members contributions. It is the policy of the Division of Adult and Professional Studies administrative staff not to interfere with the make-up or operation of any study group. Working together as an effective unit is one of the goals of the program design. STUDY GROUP PROTOCOL 1. Members develop perspectives and goals for the group as a whole. 2. Members develop effective work plans, meeting methods and schedules, assigned roles, and standards of performance during the first week of class. These become the foundation for accomplishing the course objectives and goals. 3. Members select a representative to act as liaison between the group and the instructor. 4. Members effectively manage conflict within the group and resolve problems. 5. Members share the workload equally. 6. Members build consensus and share in decision making. 7. Tasks are completed on time and meet established requirements. 8. Products of the group process (oral presentations, papers, etc.) are cohesive and present the image of a unified single project rather than a collection of individual projects. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY3 EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY AND PRACTICE The educational philosophy and practice of Centenary College recognizes the distinction between the younger college student and the student who has assumed the adult responsibilities of self-determination, financial independence, and professional development. The focus of Centenary College studies, therefore, is on two critical learning objectives. The first of these is

shared participant responsibility for self-directed learning. Professional and personal growth require that individuals develop the skills necessary to manage their own learning. Throughout all Centenary College programs, participants are expected to seek answers to their questions, identify and develop resources to address their concerns, and take charge of a majority of their own learning, specifically through guided learning assignments and activities performed outside of class time. For this reason, the programs are designed to provide the structure and support necessary to encourage independence and self-direction. The second objective is development of the interpersonal skills necessary for effective participation in groups. Traditionally, the role of the student is relatively passive. The educational model advocated by Centenary College, thus, demands active participation by students in their educational process and places substantial responsibility on the learner. To this end, study groups are an integral part of the Centenary College educational model. Study groups function as mutual support mechanisms through which students learn more efficient problem solving from the professional expertise of peers. At Centenary College, students learn from one another by participating in the process of inquiry and active involvement in a study group. Rather than deriving from a single source, learning encompasses multiple life experiences. Study groups as a tool are enthusiastically supported by Centenary College students. Surveys of graduates indicate that study groups are extremely beneficial in helping students achieve learning outcomes. When students accept that they can learn from one another, a system of trust and support emerges and the learning process becomes interactive. Study groups meet outside of the required class time to discuss and prepare guided learning assignments and to share learning resources. They communicate regularly via email, web chats, teleconferences, and faceto-face meetings. Each course generally requires a group project in the form of a written and/or oral report, usually presented to the class for discussion and critique. Grades are awarded reflecting the groups ability to integrate each members contributions.

Working adults seldom have sufficient time to devote to full-time, formal education. By sharing the learning and responsibility in a study group, more information can be disseminated in less time and talents and experiences can be shared. Thus, more content is covered in Centenary College courses than would be possible through an individual effort. Study group members make a commitment to work together and assist each other in meeting course objectives and outcomes. Through the study group process, learning is enhanced because students have the opportunity to analyze their experiences, and compare and contrast these experiences with theories presented in the curriculum materials. Therefore, to better serve the needs of working adult students, the Centenary College program has developed and instituted the study group concept. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY4 INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTORY NOTES TO INSTRUCTORS The arrow symbol is used throughout this module to indicate NOTES TO INSTRUCTOR. In addition, you will note that the type style is italicized. The Faculty Guide is an exact duplicate of the Student Guide with faculty notes added immediately following the student information. Use the italicized guide type as your guide when determining the material you have that is not in the student guide. When referring to the material during class, you will find it more effective to avoid page numbers and indicate the Class, Assignment number, etc. Due to the accelerated nature of this course, students should be reminded that study groups are a critical component. These groups of four to six students meet once a week outside of class for a four-hour period. From time to time, students may need to meet with you outside of class to receive feedback on their course assignments or to ask for guidance concerning their group process and relationships. One of the biggest problems in academia today is grade inflation. Many students believe if they meet the minimum requirements for a course and attend class, they should receive an A or at least a B. However, As and Bs should be rewards for exceptional and above average work and should be given only if merited. While students in this program are usually well motivated and conscientious, their adult professional status should not automatically guarantee above average grades. Students usually will perform better if they learn early on that the instructors expectations are high and will not be compromised. During Class One, students should be given in writing explicit breakdowns and evaluation percentages for all course requirements and assignments. In addition to written and oral requirements, you will want to inform students in writing how tardiness and class participation will be weighted. Suggested evaluation percentages are as follows:

Final Exam 25% Comprehensive Group Assignment 25% Written Individual Assignment 25% Participation, including weekly questions 25% ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY5 INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTORY NOTES TO INSTRUCTORS continued These evaluation criteria correlate to the expected goal and assessment method for the course. You may opt to change the percentage weightings, or to change the grading criteria for your particular class. Since the grading criteria reflect a specified goal and assessment method, they must be replaced with alternative criteria, which also would measure that goal and assessment method. Your selected grading criteria must be provided to the students in writing during Class One. Groups should be informed whether group exercises and cases will be graded individually or as a group. It might be an interesting exercise for Class One to have the class decide how groups should be graded. Students should be completely clear as to the method for grading group work by the end of Class One.ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY6 INTRODUCTION GRADING GUIDELINES Each instructor determines the grading and examination policy for his/her classes. This policy includes how the instructor arrives at the semester grade for each student, the proportion of grade given for papers, tests, hourly exams, semester examinations, and/or other requirements of the course. The instructor must include his/her grading policy on his/her syllabus or provide a separate written grading statement to each member of his/her class(es). The following procedures are meant to serve as guidelines for the instructor in the determination of his/her grading policy and the processing of grades: 1. Grade distribution in a given course is not expected to adhere rigidly to one of the normal curves of distribution. However, it is expected that in all courses, especially in courses of an introductory nature enrolling a large number of students, there will be an approach to a normal curve. 2. The grade in a course should be based on as broad a variety of assignments as possible quizzes, hour tests, book reports, term papers, short topical reports, laboratory reportsin other words, as broad a spectrum of activities as are in keeping with the nature of the field. Written assignments, which require analysis and organizational ability, should be required in every course. 3. The grade of A in a course reflects outstanding work and must be reserved for those few students who truly deserve it. NOTE: While a grade of A+ may be given for

individual assignments and/or tests, only the grade of A is recognized by the College on an instructors final grade roster. 4. The grade of C in a course reflects average work in both quantity and quality. The instructor, in determining his/her grading standards, should keep this in mind. 5. While Centenary College does not endorse one method of grading over another, one contemporary sample for conversion of numerical grades into letter grades is as follows: A 10093 C 7773 A- 9290 C- 7270 B+ 8988 D+ 6968 B 8783 D 6763 B- 8280 D- 6260 C+ 7978 F 59 & below ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY7 INTRODUCTION GRADING GUIDELINES continued 6. A grade given in a course is considered to be final and may not be raised by repeating the course at Centenary or elsewhere. However, when a course in which a student has received a grade of F is repeated at Centenary, both the original grade of F and the grade for the repeated course will appear on the students transcript, but the computation of the cumulative average will be based on the grade received for the repeated course. If a student finds it necessary to retake a course for the third time, the first F will not be calculated in the cumulative average but the second grade and the third grade will be averaged and all grades received in the course will appear on the transcript. If a student who repeats a course receives a W, the original grade of F will prevail. If the student retakes the course at another institution, the original grade of F remains in the cumulative average. Exceptions to this policy are internships, independent study courses, and practicum courses. 7. Students who fail to complete all course requirements on a timely basis due to specific circumstances or events may petition the Program Director in writing for the grade of I. An Incomplete is not computed in the grade point average. When the course is completed, the cumulative average will be recalculated replacing the I with the value for the grade received. A grade of I must be completed within three weeks from the final meeting date of the course. If an I is not completed within this time frame, a permanent grade of F will be recorded for the course and that F will be calculated in the grade point average. The student will be required to repeat the course at his or her own expense. 8. Students should understand that evaluation in the form of grading is viewed by Centenary College as a contractual relationship between the instructor and the student. Therefore, although students have the right to protest, actual changes in grades are rare and are at the option of the instructor. The Program Director will intervene only in extreme circumstances and, even then, only as an intermediary. If a student believes that there is a concrete reason to protest a grade for a course, the following procedures will be followed: a. The student should contact the Office of Student Services and request a Grade Appeal Form.

b. The student should complete the form and return it to the Office of Student Services within 10 days of the receipt of the protested grade. A copy of the grade appeal will be kept on file in the Office of Student Services, and a copy will be sent to the instructor. c. The instructor will respond to the grade appeal through the Office of Student Services, which will notify the student in writing of the outcome of the appeal. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY8 INTRODUCTION GRADING GUIDELINES continued 9. Course grades are issued to students by the Registrars Office. Instructors may issue course grades to students before the official grade records are released. In light of increasing emphasis on the confidentiality of student records, instructors are urged to take precautions so that the individual student is protected (i.e., his/her grades are not accidentally or otherwise revealed to other students). Faculty are advised not to post final grades or test results on their office doors, as this may breach a students right of confidentiality. 10. The instructor must give the student an opportunity to discuss course examinations or projects in class or in individual conferences in order to determine the reason for the grade assigned. The same practice applies to course grades. The instructor may return course examinations to students for discussion only under supervision and he/she is to retain such examinations in his/her office files for a minimum of one semester. 11. At the end of the course, final grades are reported to the CAPS Registrars Office along with the record of each students absences in the course. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY9 INTRODUCTION UNDERGRADUATE LETTER GRADE EQUIVALENCIES A = Student illustrates excellent performance. Has unusually sharp insight into material and initiates thoughtful questions. Sees many sides of an issue. Articulates well and writes logically and clearly. Integrates ideas previously learned from this and other disciplines and anticipates next steps in progression of ideas. Example: A work is of such a nature that it could be put on reserve for all students to review and emulate. The A student is, in fact, an example for others to follow. B = Student grasps subject matter at a level considered to be good to very good. Is an active listener and participant in class discussion. Speaks and writes well. Accomplishes more than the minimum requirements. Work in and out of class is of high quality. Example: B work indicates a high quality of performance and is given in recognition for solid work; a B should be considered a high grade. C = Student demonstrates a satisfactory comprehension of the subject matter. Accomplishes only the minimum requirements, and displays little or no initiative. Communicates orally and in writing at an acceptable level for a college student. Has a generally acceptable understanding of all basic concepts. Example: C work represents average work for the student in the program or class. A

student receiving a C has met the requirements, including deadlines, of the course. D = Student produces a quality and quantity of work in and out of class that are below average and barely acceptable. Example: D work is passing by a slim margin but is unacceptable if repetitive in nature. F = Student produces a quality and quantity of work in and out of class that are unacceptable. Example: F work does not qualify the student to gain credit for the course. Course work must be repeated. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY10 INTRODUCTION TOPICS 1. What is Advertising Today? 2.

INTRODUCTION COURSE MATERIALS The following materials are required for Advertising Management: TEXTBOOK: Arens, W. F. (2006). Contemporary advertising (10th ed.). New York: McGraw-Hill. ADDITIONAL MATERIALS: It is strongly recommended that you stay current on world business and marketing news by reading a major newspaper or periodical. The instructor will ask for your opinion and analysis of world events. Trade publications such as Marketing News, Ad Week, and Advertising Age are not highly technical and, therefore, make for interesting reading. They will enhance your understanding of marketing. Study Group Assessment Profile Study Group Evaluation Form ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY13 CLASS ONE OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this class, students will be able to: 1. Define advertising from a marketing perspective. 2. Distinguish between advertising and other forms of marketing communication. 3. Explain the role of advertising in marketing communication. 4. Discuss milestones in the evolution of advertising. 5. Explain the impact of advertising on society. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY14 CLASS ONE ASSIGNMENTS The following assignments are to be completed prior to this class: INDIVIDUAL: 1. Read Chapters 14 and Epilogue. 2. Prepare questions 2, 4, 6, 9, and 10 on page 26. 3. Prepare questions 2, 4, 5, and 10 on page 52. 4. Prepare questions 1, 2, 4, and 610, page 95. 5. Prepare questions 1, 4, 5, 7, and 8, page 132. STUDY GROUP: 1. Prepare Ad Lab 1-A, page 11. 2. Prepare Ad Lab 2-A, page 50, Internet Exercises. 3. Prepare Ad Lab 3-B, page 76, questions 13. 4. Prepare Ad Lab 4-A, page 103, questions 1 and 2. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY15 CLASS ONE ACTIVITIES ONE The instructor will provide an overview of the course and review objectives, assessment methods, and grading criteria. The discussion will include course assignments, their role in meeting objectives, and the expectations of the instructor and the students. Study groups will discuss and select the comprehensive case to be analyzed and presented. This is the time to distribute the grading criteria for the course and to determine how groups will be graded. Students should be reminded that assignments are due when

stated in their handbook. The importance of working in the cohort group should also be stressed. These groups were formed in the introductory class, and should have remained intact unless someone dropped out of the program. You should take some time to verify the status of each group. TWO The instructor will facilitate a class discussion of the dimensions of advertising. As a class, students will contribute their own experiences regarding the impact of these and other concepts on marketing. Chapter 1 provides a broad overview and can be handled briefly. Aside from the students on-the-job experience, it is important here to encourage students that their exposure to advertising will help them provide valuable input to class discussion. THREE The class will discuss assigned questions from page 26. Discussion questions focus on class objectives and provide a way for students to synthesize these concepts. FOUR The class will discuss Ad Lab 1-A. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY16 CLASS ONE ACTIVITIES continued FOUR continued This exercise could be considered an icebreaker as you get to know the class. As the exercise calls for creativity, you may want to discuss why that is a good exercise in an Advertising Management course. Although this course does not prepare students to be copywriters or art directors, they do need to understand how to assess a creative campaign. It is also good for them to understand how the creatives put a bit of themselves into a campaign. The Ad Labs will be featured as group projects throughout the module as they make students consider some critical issues in advertising. FIVE The instructor will discuss Chapter 2. SIX The class will discuss the questions from page 52. SEVEN The class will discuss Ad Lab 2-A. Everyone should be able to relate to deceptive advertising practices. This lab clarifies the legal issues. EIGHT The instructor will discuss the ethical issue of puffery if time permits. The book states that puffery is exaggeration and that it is legal. However, it does not state that the legal intention, according to consumer packaged goods lawyers, is that the exaggeration should be obvious, such as sleeping on a cloud. The problem seems to be that recently many companies are pushing the limits: Advil just works better.ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY17 CLASS ONE ACTIVITIES continued EIGHT continued

Of course, there are numerous ethical issues in advertising and promotions. The Ethical Issues segments of the book provide a good way to facilitate class discussion of these issues. NINE The class will present their conclusions from Ad Lab 3-B. The purpose here is to get students to consider the ubiquitous legal ramifications that advertisers deal with. TEN The instructor will facilitate a brief discussion of Chapter 3. ELEVEN The class will discuss the questions from page 95. TWELVE The groups will discuss Ad Lab 3-B. THIRTEEN The instructor will facilitate a brief discussion of Chapter 4. FOURTEEN The class will discuss the questions from page 132. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY18 CLASS ONE ACTIVITIES continued FIFTEEN The class will discuss Ad Lab 4-A. SIXTEEN The class will discuss the group assignment: a thorough analysis of an advertising campaign (to be presented in Class Four). The Epilogue about Visa is an example of what the instructor will require. Group projects should include in-depth research and analysis of course topics. Sample projects include a comprehensive study of a major advertising campaign to be presented in Class Four. You will want to ensure that the same project is not being selected by more than one group. Written requirements for the projects should be distributed to the students during this class. Your requirements should ensure that students demonstrate course knowledge and provide analysis and opinions based on analysis. Students should be aware of the grading criteria for the projects in advance. SEVENTEEN The class will discuss the individual assignment of the advertising plan (due in Class Four). Appendix B will serve as a guide. The individual written project should be assigned (due in Class Four). In designing this project, the goal is to assess students knowledge and ability to express it succinctly in writing. A suggested assignment is an advertising plan developed by the student. The plan could be on a business the student creates or a real business that does not currently have a sufficient advertising plan such as a family business or other small business. Explain that the purpose of the assignment is for students to demonstrate their ability to apply advertising strategy and programs. Encourage students to choose a business for which they will enjoy creating strategy. Properly documented research should be required. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY19 CLASS TWO

OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this class, students will be able to: 1. Explain the pros and cons of different methods of pre- and post-testing advertising. 2. Explain top-down and bottom-up planning in advertising. 3. Plan for new competitive threat. 4. Discuss the methods and processes of budgeting in advertising. 5. Explain how a media plan helps accomplish a companys advertising plan. 6. Explain reach and frequency. 7. Describe and be able to calculate gross impressions, GRPs, and cost per thousand. 8. Explain the different types of advertising schedules. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY20 CLASS TWO ASSIGNMENTS The following assignments are to be completed prior to this class: INDIVIDUAL: 1. Read Chapters 710. In Chapter 7, focus on the material toward the end of the chapter that deals specifically with advertising research rather than marketing research in general. (As in marketing research, as well as the topics of Chapters 5 and 6, consumer behavior and segmentation were covered in Principles of Marketing so your knowledge of these areas will be assumed.) 2. Prepare question 10 from page 230 for discussion. 3. Prepare questions 510, page 264. 4. Prepare questions 13, 5, 6, and 810 (page 300) for class discussion. 5. Prepare questions 13 and 710, page 334. 6. Work toward completion of the individual written assignment (due in Class Four). The instructor will set aside time during class to answer questions. STUDY GROUP: 1. Prepare Ad Lab 8-A, questions 1 and 2. 2. Prepare Ethical Issues, questions 1 and 2, pages 240241. 3. Prepare Ad Lab 8-B, questions 1 and 2. 4. Prepare Ad Lab 9-A, questions 1 and 2. 5. Prepare Ethical Issues, questions 1 and 2, pages 274275. 6. Prepare Ad Lab 9-B, questions 1 and 2. 7. Prepare Ad Lab 10-A. 8. Work toward completion of group project. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY21 CLASS TWO ACTIVITIES ONE The instructor will facilitate a discussion of advertising research from Chapter 7. Focus on specific methods of testing advertising and the pros and cons points of each. TWO The instructor will discuss the questions from Chapter 7. THREE The instructor will discuss Chapter 8, IMC, and planning.

After discussing planning activity in advertising, you may want to re-open the topic of the students individual assignments: the advertising plan. The class may have synthesized more questions after this weeks reading. FOUR The discussion will focus on the questions for Chapter 8. FIVE The students will present Ad Lab 8-A. You may wish to cite more examples from Trout and Reis books. SIX The groups will present Ethical Issues from pages 240241. Ascertain if anyone has experience seeing ads from other countries. Since comparative advertising is illegal in most other countries, it provides an interesting point of comparison. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY22 CLASS TWO ACTIVITIES continued SEVEN The groups will present Ad Lab 8-B. This lab provides a good opportunity to point out that although economic theories predict a relationship between advertising and sales, there is a danger in charging those responsible for advertising with delivering sales. Of course, there are three other Ps. EIGHT The instructor will discuss planning of media strategy. This chapter provides media tactics and terms that are probably unfamiliar to the students, so it may take a bit longer to cover than most. Make sure students understand how to calculate gross impressions, GRPs, BDIs, and CDIs. NINE The instructor will discuss questions from Chapter 9. TEN The students will present Ad Lab 9-A. New examples of Off-the-Wall Media pop up everyday. It might be fun to have students think about where they will find ads next. ELEVEN The groups will present Ethical Issues from pages 274275. Agency commissions continue to be a major issue in advertising. TWELVE The groups will present Ad Lab 9-B. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY 23 CLASS TWO ACTIVITIES continued THIRTEEN The instructor will outline Chapter 10. You may wish to focus on direct marketing and sales promotion, as the discussion of personal selling may be rather basic for these adult learners, many of whom are likely to have knowledge of the sales function; however some students may have had limited

exposure to professional sales people. You may want to poll the class as to their opinion about sales people. Those exposed to retail sales such as car sales people may have extremely negative views. Help the class to see that this is a profession of problem solving and not pushing whatever can be sold. FOURTEEN The groups will present Ad Lab 10-A. FIFTEEN Time will be provided for questions that students may have as they prepare their individual and their group assignments. Allot time for class and individual questions. Students should be encouraged to be creative in developing these assignments. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY24 CLASS THREE OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this class, students will be able to: 1. Explain public relations. 2. Describe the tools that public relations professionals use. 3. Describe how event sponsorship fits into IMC. 4. Explain the role of corporate identity advertising. 5. Explain the jobs of the creative team and their importance. 6. Describe the role of the creative brief. 7. Discuss the role of artists in the advertising business. 8. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of the different types of television commercials. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY25 CLASS THREE ASSIGNMENTS The following assignments are to be completed prior to this class: INDIVIDUAL: 1. Read Chapters 1113. 2. Prepare discussion questions 110 from page 365. 3. Prepare discussion questions 1, 2, and 79 from page 403. 4. Prepare discussion questions 1, 3, 7, and 8 from page 437. STUDY GROUP: 1. Prepare to discuss Ethical Issues from pages 340341 (questions 1 and 2). 2. Prepare to present Ad Lab 11-A. 3. Prepare Ad Lab 11-B. 4. Prepare Ad Lab 12-A. Rather than focusing on a specific question, find some examples of use of color and what tone it sets. 5. Prepare Ethical Issues from pages 390391. 6. Prepare Ad Lab 12-C. 7. Prepare Ad Lab 13-A. 8. Complete Ad Lab 13-B. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY26 CLASS THREE ACTIVITIES ONE The instructor will facilitate a discussion on relationship building.

You may wish to cut this discussion short as the following review questions do a particularly good job of covering the chapter. TWO The class will discuss the questions from Chapter 11. THREE The class will present Ethical Issues from pages 340341. FOUR The class will present Ad Lab 11-A. These questions should stimulate thinking and discussion regarding advocacy advertising. At this point in the course, students should feel entirely comfortable leading presentations. It is up to you and the class to decide whether groups take turns presenting group assignments or all groups pitch in for each assignment. FIVE The groups will present Ad Lab 11-B. This is a great opportunity to expose students to the insights of advertising pioneer and prolific author on the subject, until his death in 1999, David Ogilvy. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY27 CLASS THREE ACTIVITIES continued SIX The instructor will lead a discussion on creating ads and commercials. You may want to ask students why they are studying the creative side of the advertising business as they, clearly, are not training to be creatives. The answer is in order to understand how the creatives achieve advertising goals through their work and that they, as managers, may stand in judgment of this work. You may decide to require a creative execution as an ungraded part of the advertising plan. This way, students can role-play to understand the creative teams position better. SEVEN The class will discuss the questions from Chapter 12. EIGHT The students will discuss Ad Lab 12-A. Remind the students how much a part of a brand color can be, e.g. Coke, Kodak, and Marlboro. NINE The class will present Ethical Issues from pages 390391. Does sex sell? What risks are there? It should be interesting to hear the various points of view. TEN Ad Lab 12-C will be presented. Urge the students to relate these fun activities to the various creative roles. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY28 CLASS THREE ACTIVITIES continued ELEVEN The instructor will discuss Chapter 13 on creating ads.

ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY31 CLASS FOUR ACTIVITIES ONE The instructor will collect the advertising plans. Depending on class size, you may want to set aside a few minutes to have each student present a very brief summary of his or her projects. As they have been working on the projects for a while, they may enjoy hearing what other students have been working on. TWO The groups will present their projects.

Time constraints should be enforced to assure that there is time for all students to present as well as cover the rest of the activities. THREE The instructor will present a brief overview of production. FOUR The class will discuss the questions from page 474. FIVE The discussion will focus on Ad Lab 14-A. Encourage students to consider how type characteristics may not be consciously noticed, but may set a mood in advertising. Students were asked to consider a resume, which should be an example that everyone has been responsible for designing. SIX The class will discuss Ad Lab 14-B. This lab can be handled quite briefly; however, it should open students eyes to the subtle, yet important differences of film versus tape. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY32 CLASS FOUR ACTIVITIES continued SEVEN There will be a presentation of Ethical Issues from page 469. This Ethical Issues does should cause students to think about the potential manipulation with special effects in advertising. EIGHT The instructor will present Chapter 15. The students may be a bit burnt out after submitting their individual project and presenting their group project, so it works well that the chapters for Classes Four and Five are extremely practical. You can just use examples to review the terms of the chapters. No review questions or Ad Labs were assigned from this chapter for just this reason. NINE The instructor will facilitate a discussion of Chapter 16 on using electronic media. Again, this is a practical chapter packed with how information is used with regard to electronic media. Examples help you get right down to business. TEN The instructor will present Ethical Issues from pages 518519. Everyone should have an opinion about advertising to this vulnerable target. ELEVEN The class will present Ad Lab 16-A. Students will better understand how ad rates for television are determined. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY33 CLASS FOUR ACTIVITIES continued TWELVE There will be a review of Ad Lab 16-C.

The focus of Chapter 17 should be the terms on page 573. 2. Solve discussion questions 35, 9, and 10 from page 603. 3. Review for the exam (if assigned). STUDY GROUP: 1. Prepare Ethical Issues, questions 13, from pages 590591. 2. Review for the exam (if assigned) and discuss what points you wish to cover again with the instructor before the exam is given. Time will be set aside for this purpose. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY36 CLASS FIVE ACTIVITIES ONE The instructor will facilitate a discussion of digital and direct-mail advertising. Due to time constraints, focus should be on the terms of the chapter with which students may not be familiar. Some terms, such as search engine are commonplace; however, advertising terms such as meta ad may be less so. TWO The instructor will review Chapter 18. Although Chapter 17 covers less glamorous advertising media, plan not to give it short shift, as it is important, especially for small budgets of smaller companies. THREE The instructor will present Ethical Issues from pages 590591. This area provides more discussion on how best to protect children. If it is not taught in advertising and considered by practitioners, of course, more legislation will be enacted to consider it for the profession. FOUR The class will review for the exam. Use whatever format you and/or the class prefer. Let them know how long they have for the review and be sure to stick to it so there will be time for the test.

FIVE The study group peer and instructor evaluations will be administered. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY37 CLASS FIVE ACTIVITIES continued SIX The exam (if assigned) will be administered. If you decide to give an in-class exam, be very aware of the time constraints. A suggested format is a short case study of several essay questions that allow students to demonstrate that they have digested and retained the material of the course. ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT FACULTY38 STUDY GROUP ASSESSMENT PROFILE A basic yet important step in team building is to assess the strengths of the team. The following factors are all essential for an effective team. Take time to review these items, and circle the appropriate number as you rate each item. Taking the assessment serves as an excellent teambuilding tool for study groups. 1. PURPOSE/GOALS Study group members know and understand the purpose and the goals of the study group. All have had a chance to shape the purpose and to identify their own special passion for work to contribute to the overall goals. 7654321 Highly Characteristic Partially Characteristic Completely Uncharacteristic 2.
