Designing a sustainable marketing class to be relevant: Fostering engagement and active learning

Abstract

This paper discusses the activities and assignments of a sustainable marketing course that have been designed to show the personal as well as societal relevance of the course content to students. A description of several assignments is presented, both introductory and on-going. Additional insights provided by student responses indicate these activities garner student interest and “buy-in” of course content, as well as resulting personal and professional impact for students.
