Assignment 4: Part D: Your Marketing Plan – Video Presentation

Due Week 10 and worth 200 points

Imagine that you are pitching your hypothetical service-based company’s marketing plan to the Shark Tank Team for possible investment. Use a tablet, smartphone, laptop, desktop, or traditional video recorder to record a three to five (3-5) minute dynamic video in which you present your full marketing plan from Assignments 1, 2, and 3.

Note: If you are using a tablet or smartphone you will need to email the video file to yourself, then save it to a computer in order to upload to Blackboard. You may want to upload your video to a file sharing service, such as Dropbox, if your email will not let you send a large video file. Dropbox is accessible from all smartphones and tablets from the Dropbox app.

Once you are ready to upload your video to Blackboard, please use the following naming convention in the popup window for your video once it is finished uploading:

• Title: Your First Name, Your Last Name – Shark Tank Investment Video Pitch
• Tags: MKT500, Shark Tank
• Description: First Name, Last Name – MKT500 Assignment 4 (Date Uploaded ex. 5-23-2014)

Note: Check with your professor for any additional instructions. If you do not have access to a video camera or necessary hardware to complete this assignment, please contact your professor.

Note: If you receive an “Error while uploading” message and you are unable to upload your video file, let your instructor know right away. You can send the file in an alternate way such as sending it to your instructor’s email via a file sharing service such as Google Drive, or you can upload your video file to a video sharing service such as YouTube and then send the link to your instructor to view it from. If your video is unable to upload to any of these sources either, your computer may have insufficient bandwidth to upload video, and you should copy the file to a thumb drive and send it from a different computer or mobile device.

1. Religion plays a major role in A Man for All Seasons, for Thomas More as well as for

Henry VIII. The personal religious views held by these two central characters appear clear, but how is their approach to religion viewed by you, the viewer or audience? When applied to these two characters, do you view their religious views positively or negatively? Do you see religion a positive or a destructive force inthis play?  Illustrate your response with specific references to the text.

 

1. As a concluding exercise, I’d like to return your attention to the sentiments of thesyllabus for this course and encourage you to consider in what ways and to what degree you found the four readings instructive. In short, how – if at all – have thereadings been worth your while?

 

The four reading:

 1)The Epic of Gilgamesh,Mitchell translation

2) The Joseph Story, Genesis: 35-50

3) Sophocles’ Antigone,Fagle translation.

4) Robert Bolt’s A Man For All Seasons

 

I stated in the syllabus that our approach to these works would be to examine the actions and behaviors of their central characters, particularly the ways each addressesthree of Life’s fundamental questions (they can be found in the Syllabus in Course Documents, if you’ve forgotten them). There was also a fourth question: “To what extent and in what respects are responses to these three questions interrelated – for you today, as well as for theindividuals in the works considered?”

 

Consider your response to this prompt a personal one, and approach it as you see fit.

 

1. Over the decade or so that I’ve been presenting AUCW 180 here at the University, the social structure – as well as the academic structure — of this country, as well as the University, haschanged rapidly and drastically – as it has, I suspect, in most societies of the WesternWorld.

 

It seems obvious, though it has not yet been openly acknowledged at most universities,what has long been viewed as “traditional classroom instruction” is on its last legsthroughout this country. The question before us is what will replace it. Though online courses will apparently be a key player in the immediate future, will their ubiquitous presence be an enhancement to student engagement, or a curse?

 

I’ve posed the question to you already: If everything you need for a course such as this isavailable on the Internet, what becomes of the activities of the traditional class?

 

What, if anything, worked for you in a class such as this? What might have better worked for you? What changes would you suggest? What should be

changed before I begin my Summer class in June 2018?

 

For part c just write what is the advantages and disadvantages of the online classes in general and what is the deference between the traditional classes and online classes.
