    Part 1

    Your task is to write a short paragraph (no more than 300 words) discussing the positives and negatives of just one (1) of the following communications methods: It is important that you support both sides of your argument. Be sure and give existing examples when appropriate.

    • In-Store Promotions
    • Sales Promotions
    • Direct Marketing
    • Online Media
    • Social Media

    Part 2

    For each discussion forum, students need to create an initial post, then look over the discussion posts of your other classmates and give at least two (2) thoughtful responses to two (2) different classmates (one per classmate), totaling a minimum of three (3) posts for forum, including your initial post.

    You need to write more than just a few words like: “I agree” or “Sounds good” or “Well said.” You must write several sentences that are thoughtful and suitable for a proper discussion. It is also fitting to ask questions or politely challenge your classmates if you like. When in doubt, just remember: this is a “discussion,” not a series of opinion blogs.
