Course Description

The purpose of this class is to expose students to two of the most competitive and exciting businesses in the world, Sports and Entertainment.  Topics covered will include, among other things, sports marketing research, branding, images and licensing, entertainment promotion, entertainment marketing plans, and careers.  You will leave this class with skills, attitudes, and character traits necessary for achieving and maintaining successful employment at a marketing level.

 

 

Canvas and Assignments: We use Canvas for EVERYTHING!!Assignments are listed in Canvas by date –if you miss school –yes, you need to make it up.

 

 

 

Make-up Work/Late Assignments

Students are responsible for all missed work.  It is the student’s responsibility to let me know that you are missing work; the easiest solution is to check Canvas!

 

Attendance

Attendance in class is very important, just as it is on the job.  Regular attendance in the work world is a measure of the employee; it is in this class also.  Students are expected to be in class on time.  Students with excessive tardiness will be disciplined according to school policy.  Students who arrive more than fifteen minutes late without a hall pass from a staff member will be considered absent.
