We are preparing for finals

We will take four exams. Yesterday we took a final for communication skills and persuasive messages. We studied: AP style, grammar, punctuation and usage.
Now we are studying marketing management for a take-home exam on Thursday. It can be done with a good partner. Next, we are solving a lot of statistics problems. We have learned about confidence intervals, regression and sample size.  We still have the consumer insights test to complete.  This is an online exam, but we have a three hour limit for the test. The courses are a lot of work but we are learning a lot. Good luck to all of our classmates!

Project Presentation on "Second Life"

Let Sindy, Ivan, Won Joo, Albert, Noah tell you how it works!

This group gave a brief presentation regarding "Engagement" in Second Life today. For our Communication Skills and Persuasive Messages class, they have been involved in this 3-D online community to learn how to create a virtual identity to interact with others in that world. Furthermore, they invited Ashlee Humphreys, the Co-Instructor of our Consumer Insight class, to discuss the concept of "media engagement," which is a term that professors Bobby Calder and Ed Malthouse coined this year. They also gave examples of how companies, including Mercedes Benz, the NBA, and Vodafone, use this media engagement strategy in Second Life to promote the company/organization and their products.

How many of the group members have "Second Life" before this project?

Zero.

Did they learn a lot about this interactive social media platform?

Absolutely!
