Topic outline

  • General

    This is the MyCourses page for the course Contemporary Marketing Issues Reading Package in Periods I-V, for both B.Sc. and M.Sc level courses. No other MyCourses page (e.g. MARK-E000101) is used during the academic year 2024-2025.

    In order to use access the materials in this page, you need to self-enrol. In order to do so, search for “Contemporary Marketing Issues Reading Package” using the MyCourses search function and click the ‘Self-Enrolment’ button next to the Contemporary Marketing Issues Reading Package: I-V, 2024-2025 course.

    The self-enrolment key for the course is CMIRP2223.

    After completing the self-enrolment, please check that you can access all the files and the function to submit the choice of the reading package on the course page. If you have any issues with the self-enrolment, please contact one of the instructors for assistance. Pay attention to the fact that you also need to be enroled in the course on Sisu in order to be graded - register on Sisu on time in the period in which you will be submitting your assignments.


    **UPDATE**

    From the Period IV onwards the course structure has been changed. The changes affected the number of reading packages, the number of articles within the reading package, and the deliverables. The essay format was substituted for the thematic extended comments provided through the Perusall platform (an online social annotation platform). For more information, please familiarize yourself with updated syllabus, introductory slides, and instructions on the enrolment and use of the Perusall platform. To access these files, navigate to the menu bar located at the upper left corner of the page on desktop, or use the corresponding menu option on mobile devices.
