For those who attend the course, there will be a couple of quizzes (multiple choice questions) that help you prepare for lectures, and individual and group assignments based on digital resources that are distributed on blackboard. As attending student, the quizzes count towards your course grade.

- Quizzes: Two quizzes, handed out at the beginning of two sessions. Each quiz consists of multiple-choice questions covering the assigned readings up to that session. 

- Individual assignment: every attending student is required to hand in a written assignment at the end of the course. 

The focus of these two activities will be on the application of marketing research in an empirical context. 

The exam is an individual written test that covers the textbook. The exam will make use of different formats of standardized questions, but clearly will go beyond testing your knowledge of definitions.
