The honors project will require a student to, in consultation with the instructor, develop a project in an area of marketing that holds special interest for the student (this project is not done by non-honors students in the class). Since Principles of Marketing is a survey course, the content provides the student with many options for in-depth study. At the culmination of the project, the student will produce a paper on an approved topic in the area of Marketing of their choosing. In addition, they will conduct an information discussion with the class about their findings.

  1. Independently locate and analyze articles on marketing; and/or company and brand information relating to marketing (G.E. 1)

Student Learning Outcomes Students will be able to:

  1. Locate information relating to their chosen topic in appropriate areas of research (Internet, databases, journals, books).
  2. Confirm the information with regard to the validity of the source (example: government source vs. a private individual’s web site).
