Purpose of this Assignment:

Your assignment is to keep a journal, on a regular basis, related to this course.

Journal writing is a form of free-writing. It is also “low stakes” writing: it is mostly for yourself (see below), and therefore, it will not be edited necessarily for style or grammar.

Instructions:

Journal writing serves many purposes. In your journals you can:

• Observe what you are reading, what goes on in class, and how it relates to current real-world marketing events
• Define what you are doing in an assignment, in the course generally, in your major/minor
• Express confusion about anything – where you are not understanding, or are frustrated – and perhaps become unconfused as your write or pose questions to me
• Speculate about what you are studying
• Give insights – your ideas, your conclusions, your putting things together
• Connect readings to other readings, this course to other courses, what we are talking about to your life
• Respond to readings (controversial ones, for example), whether negatively or positively
• React candidly to what happens in class
• Be self-aware about what you are studying and why you are studying it
• Refine your thoughts as they progress throughout the term, whether on particular readings, particular topics, the course generally, or your assignments
• Evaluate the course, including the task of keeping a journal.
