F. Instructional Modes:
The instructional method is based on the John Dewey’s philosophy which stated that students
will learn the best from the course if they are facilitated to self-explore the contents of the
course and later apply their knowledge in the real-life cases.
Therefore, the course will be conducted in three phases:
1. Phase 1 (Week 1): Introducting the course and organizing class’s activities.
The lecturer delivers the brief contents of the whole course. He also guides the class to
form the groups and assigns the assignment 1 & 2 to every group of students.
Group organization: each group is to be formed on the voluntary basis, consisting of 3-6
students (based on the size of the class). Each group is to be managed by an elected
leader. Each member in the group must follow his/her group leader. If there is any
disagreement among group members, the group leader is responsible for asking the
lecturer’s consultation for his/her help to resolve.
In this week, each group is to be given the Assignment 1 and assignment 2 with the
following details:
o Assignment 1: Each group is assigned one/two chapter(s) in the textbook of the course
for presenting in front of the class and answering questions raised by another group.
o Assignment 2: At the same time, each group is to discuss internally to decide on the
brand on which they will prepare a report ( The report outline is to be provided by the
lecturer). Each group is to inform the lecturer of their chosen brand not later than the
Week 3.
Each group may decide on one of three following options:
– Option 1: Choose one brand from Interbrand’s Best Global Brands
– Option 2: Choose any brand existing in Vietnam.
– Option 3: Service Learning: Choose one brand of a local firm according to the
arrangement of Service Learning Department (This option is to be granted additional
one to two points based on the lecturer’s discretion)
2. Phase 2 (Week 2-13): Students’ self-exploration of the course contents (Assignment
1).
Because the students have to self-explore and present the assigned chapter (s) which had not
been explained by the lecturer, they may face difficulties. If it is the case, they are advised to
call for the lecturer’s consultation on his/her duty schedule.
The routine is to occurs as follows:
The 1st period: One pre-assigned group is to present the key contents of given chapter(s)
(Presenting group).
The 2nd period: Another group (Countering group) is nominated randomly by the
lecturer to raise the questions and discuss with the Presenting group. The remaining
groups are to listen the conversation of these two groups to draw their own knowledge
and experience.
The 3rd period: The lecturer is to deliver his/her discourse to recap and clarify the key
concepts, processes, models of the chapter being discussed.
3. Phase 3 (week 14-15): Appliation to the real-life brand (Assignment 2).
Each group is to present their own report in front of the class with the same routine as phase
2.
3. Academic Integrity
Academic integrity is a fundamental value that affects the quality of teaching, learning, and
research at a university. To ensure the maintenance of academic integrity at Hoa Sen
University, students are required to:
Work independently on individual assignments
Collaborating on individual assignments is considered cheating.
Avoid plagiarism
Plagiarism is an act of fraud that involves the use of ideas or words of another person
without proper attribution. Students will be accused of plagiarism if they:
i. Copy in their work one or more sentences from another person without proper
citation.
ii. Rephrase, paraphrase, or translate another person’s ideas or words without proper
attribution.
iii. Reuse their own assignments, in whole or in part, and submit them for another class.
Work responsibly within a working group
In cooperative group assignments, all students are required to stay on task and contribute
equally to the projects. Group reports should clearly state the contribution of each group
member.
Any acts of academic dishonesty will result in a grade of zero for the task at hand and/or
immediate failure of the course, depending on the seriousness of the fraud. Please consult
Hoa Sen University’s Policy on Plagiarism at http://thuvien.hoasen.edu.vn/chinh-sach-
phong-tranh-dao-van. To ensure the maintenance of academic integrity, the university
asks that students report cases of academic dishonesty to the teacher and/or the Dean. The
names of those students will be kept anonymous.

Appendix 1: Attendance and Participation (10%)
Student performance is evaluated weekly based on attendance and active in-class participation. Regular
attendance is the minimum requirement for successful completion of this course. While excessive
absences will significantly impact a student’s learning, it will indeed have greater consequences for one’s
final grade. Additionally, students must demonstrate active involvement and meaningful contributions to
class discussions and the learning process. Toward this end, students are strongly encouraged to
complete assigned readings prior to class, raise important questions or issues regarding branding and
marketing communications, share current examples of branding “in action” or offer unique views that
challenge conventional thinking and ideas.
Group participation : above 20 marks will be added to the brand audit
Appendix 2: Individual Assignment (20%)
Students will develop a two-page written assessment of a luxury brand based on results from a field
assignment. Students can select any brand of personal interest for the assignment (brands of a sexual,
political or religious nature are deemed unacceptable). Brands selected for this assignment must be
approved by the professor on a first-come basis. Duplicate requests will not be allowed, no exceptions.
Students must notify the professor of their brand preference for this assignment by Week 2.
NOTE: The brand selected for this assignment cannot be used in the Brand Audit Project.
