Homework – There will be homework assignments assigned at various weeks throughout the course. These assignments are designed for the student to think independently through a topic in sales. Quizzes – Quizzes will be given throughout the semester to test student understanding Class Participation - Learning takes place when the exchange of ideas flows freely. I put a high emphasis on class participation to develop students' communication and interaction skills. Class attendance is definitely important and participation in the class discussion will show command of a particular topic. Group projects within class will be performed and it is expected that all students will participate throughout the semester. Final Project – The student will study a product and determine its features and benefits. A plan will be put together as to the approach to use to sell the product.
