Student Showcase
Samples of Student Projects and Assignments from Some MDM Courses
Introduction
This section provides samples of student work from courses such as Retailing, Marketing Analytics, Applied Machine Learning, and Culminating Project Hosting Courses. Samples from other courses will be added in the future. Explore student portfolios, culminating experience projects, client collaborations, and other examples of digital marketing work organized by career roles and signature projects.
1 Portfolio Websites
Here are some examples of student portfolio websites that showcase their skills, projects, and experiences in digital marketing and marketing analytics. These portfolios can serve as inspiration for current students who are building their own portfolios to demonstrate their competencies to potential employers.
These examples highlight the diversity of approaches students can take in presenting their work, including the use of multimedia, case studies, and personal branding to create a compelling narrative about their professional journey and expertise in the field.
All portfolios were created as part of class project in a core course, where they learned how to create a website using Quarto Markdown, R, and GitHub Pages. The course provided them with the technical skills to build a professional online presence that effectively communicates their capabilities and achievements in digital marketing and marketing analytics.
- Students were encouraged to use all the projects they had completed in the program, including those from other courses up to the second spring semester, to create a comprehensive portfolio that reflects their learning and growth throughout the MSDM program.
