CISA 345 
Technical Marketing Applications

Just so you know ~ this topic changes so quickly and there is much information and applications ~ I will be covering many popular apps that we will work on but will be bringing attention to other applications (that we don't have time for) as well.  Students are encouraged to share any applications they find useful too!

​

This is NOT a cookie cutter class.  This means assignments will be given weekly sometimes with me adding something new and exciting of interest to the class.

​

I realize this is a 2-unit course -  8 week course.  There are a few (only a few) of you that only want to do what it takes with minimum effort on your part to pass and get the units – and this is perfectly okay.  I also know that some of you are as enthusiastic as I am to get as much “under your belt” as you can because you are truly going to use all of this information for a marketing job, a business you have, a business you want to start, help a non-profit, or an interest/social entertainment of no dollar value.

​

With these two types of students in mind ~ some weeks I will offer different levels of effort. You can decide which level you want to work at.  It will not show on your transcripts but will be rewarded in other ways.  Basically, I am going to give you more than 2-units worth of stuff to do and I don’t want you to feel obligated unless you need it for yourself or your business.  Each topic that we will cover could take an entire 8 week course by itself.....so basically, you will have to judge your time and commitment to each topic.

​

Student Level will be strictly what you need to work on 2-unit and a grade A-F. 

Master Level – you need this stuff, want to work on it, and get it done even if it is over and above what you need for the class.

​

I do have marketing/web/social media clients so I am "super into all of this marketing."  I read a ton of online articles, watch updated videos, have many community contacts, and do many tutorials to keep myself informed and up-to-date. I get very excited over little tips that I know yield much ~ so..... I apologize in advance if I overwhelm some of you with "stuff" --- I just think it is important and want to share!

​

Be sure to stay on top of your assignments each week.  If you turn in one week late - it will cost a letter grade. Don't wait until the the day assignments are due to look over the assignments. Some will be quick and some will take more time than you intended. Start at the beginning of the week so you have time to put some thought into each project.

Procrastination is the worst enemy to an online student.
