Sports and Entertainment Marketing INSTRUCTOR: ROOM: E-MAIL/PHONE OFFICE HOURS: WEBSITE: Mr. Jonathan Hakim 421 jhakim@cysd.k12.pa.us ext. 2322 M-F during 2:40-3:15 in room 421 District website but mainly www.jhakim.wikispaces.com COURSE DESCRIPTION: The sports and entertainment industries are two of the most profitable in the United States. Marketing of sports and entertainment and marketing through sports and entertainment are the main focus of this class. Students will apply marketing principles to the sports industry and/or the entertainment industry. We will examine the economic impact of sports and entertainment as well as endorsements, sponsorships, product development, licensing, image, sales, promotion, pricing and more. Students will have the opportunity to explore careers and plan a sports and/or entertainment event COURSE OBJECTIVES: This course is strongly recommended for students who intend to pursue a career in business, however, should be taken by all students as a general knowledge course. Special emphasis will be placed on the following: careers in Marketing, economic impact of the sports industry, target market/segmentation, endorsements/sponsorships, marketing mix, marketing research, marketing plan overview, live event planning/marketing REQUIRED MATERIALS: Each day, you should have the following materials with you: Your electronic device (iPad, MacBook), pencil or pen, textbook, notebook, folder/binder for THIS class ASSESSMENTS: There will be tests, quizzes, projects, notebook checks and a final. The format of all tests may include T/F, multiple choice, matching and completion. All test/quiz questions will be based on lecture discussions and reading assignments. There will be homework assignments. All homework assignments must be submitted in class on the day specified and must be complete to receive credit. INSTRUCTIONAL METHODS: Instruction format will include lecture, and class discussions, cooperative learning, enrichment activities, critical thinking cases, research, and hands-on projects. GRADING POLICY: Grades will be calculated using a total point system. Each test/assignment will count for a certain amount of points. For example, a test might be worth 85 points, and a quiz may count for 20 points. At the end of each marking period, the student’s grade will be calculated by how many points the student earned out of the total amount of points possible. This is an easy way for you, as a student, to keep track of your grade throughout the semester. For example: Jackie has 345 points for the quarter and there were a possible of 400 points-- 345/400 = .8625 To get a decimal to percent-- .8625 x 100 = Jackie has an 86% The grading scale is as follows: 90%-100% = A 80%-89.9% = B 70%-79.9% = C 65%-69.9% = D Less than 65% = F Participation Because an integral part of business is communication with others, playing an active role in Sports and Entertainment Marketing will not only help you, it will help your grade. 10% of your final grade is depending on how you choose to participate in this class. For example – raising hand to answer questions, helping fellow students who need assistance, even telling an interesting story that relates to class…it all helps. Don’t just sit there, engage yourself! Cell Phones/iPads/Laptops/Technology In this class, you will be treated like a young adult being prepared for life after high school. That being said, it is your responsibility to use technology at the proper times. If you fail to be courteous to the teacher and your fellow students, your device will be confiscated and will be returned at the end of the class period. Be respectful and there will be no problems. CLASSROOM RULES AND DISCIPLINE: The number one rule in my classroom is RESPECT. If you respect yourself, your classmates, and your teacher, there will be absolutely no problems in my class. So many rules don’t have to be stated if you follow the respect rule in my classroom. No online games will be played without teacher consent. If a student is seen playing a game they will receive a friendly reminder to turn the game off. If a student is playing games any time after that during the marking period, computer privileges will be revoked and/or more administrative actions will be taken. Using laptops/iPads is a privilege. If a student is off task because of their electronic device, their laptop/Ipad usage will be revoked. Be prepared for class. Always have a pen/pencil and current unit materials. Three (3) times unprepared for class = Detention Arrive to class on time and be in your seat when the bell rings. If you are late, be sure to have a pass or it will be a tardy. Three (3) tardies = Detention No food or GUM Follow directions the FIRST time they are given Students are dismissed by the teacher, NOT the bell. Remain in your seat until you are dismissed by the teacher. PLEASE DO NOT LINE UP BY THE DOOR. Don’t use inappropriate language. Again – Respect. Don’t put any student down. No name calling/making fun of others for any reason – Respect. Pride tickets – awarded for participation and many other reasons…will be discussed in class. Consequences for breaking a Rule / Procedure: I believe an open line of communication is the best means for dealing with insubordination. As a student in my class, we will discuss the situation at hand and come up with a solution, together. If after numerous attempts to correct the situation and nothing is working, you will be given a teacher detention and/or referred to the principal’s office for further administrative punishments. ATTENDANCE: Students who are absent, late, or leave class early for any reason are responsible for information covered and announcements made during their absence. It is not the teacher’s responsibility to let you know what you missed; the teacher didn’t miss class, you did – find out what you missed from another student. TEST & HOMEWORK POLICIES: Students are expected to take tests and quizzes as scheduled. Homework assignments must be turned in on the assigned due date in order to receive credit. If your assignment is late, I will accept it but 10% will be deducted for everyday that it is late. After five days, it will be a zero.
