Abstract

Final year Digital Marketing students are given a live client who they work with as their final year project. They are assessed on their ability to understand and respond to the client brief, and on their ability to manage the client relationship. As each student is working with their own client, each experience brings its own challenges which the students need to learn from, and adapt their own behaviour within the relationship. This requires the students to become self aware and move from passive experience to active engagement with the module and client. A learning journal was used as part of the assessment, as reflective writing is associated with deep learning and critical self reflection (Ona and Ichi, 2019; Kimberly, 2019). However, the reflective writing component proved challenging for the students, who were trying to anticipate what the lecturer was looking for rather than reflecting on their own experience.
