Check out the work of your friends (WS and AG ) and feel free to comment. :-)


Test time



Here come your test results. The first number is the number of your test points, the second - task points (max 9, 3 per each subtask) and in the brackets you will find your final grade provided that you have turned in or presented your project. Your final grade is based on: task points, project points, homework assignements and your active participaction during the class. If you did not put your index # on the test do not go looking for your grade - it's not there. I did't feel I had the right to use your name on the blog. Contact me by mail.

Remember I will be giving my signature on Febr 4th at 5 pm in 401. Make sure you're there.

Thanks againg for this class. I had loads of fun, I hope you did too, even though it wasn't a typical sociological, knowledge- full seminar.

Contest

Info: My husband and I loved your projects and mini assignements you did earlier. You're quite a creative crowd. So we came up with a contest. We own two appartments in Zakopane that we rent to tourists. Check out: http://www.zakospanie.pl/ Due to lack of time and energy we never got around to promote it and advertise much. We sell it via allegro.pl and some tourist focused portals. However, we need a clever creative idea to promote it more aggresively.

Goal: design an online or offline campaign for the two appartments. It must be doable (this is real life job this time), relatively cheap (there is no budget for TV :-), so we are talking about a few thousand PLN. The main idea is to attract more customers of a specific profile: aged 25-55, higher income, family oriented, seeking quiet rest in Zakopane. No party lovers or extreme skiers looking for vodka marathons etc.

Prize: Prolonged weekend (Thur- Sun) for two in one of the appartments (your choice) with a stock of good wine and fresh strawberries to go with it. :-)

Deadline: Should you decide to give it a go you need to lay out clearly your idea (text or presentation) and sent to me by mail by Feb 15th. I will publish the winner's project on the blog.

No class

Sorry, no class today (6.01). I was struck by the cold and thus unable to teach. See you all next week!
