The final, integrative exercise for this course will be for you to prepare a list of the top 5 impactful ideas/lessons/challenges etc. that you've taken away from this course. We discussed a wide variety of topics - many that have no concrete answers but that are still pertinent and very much in need of discussion. Your top 5 might consist of broad topics that we have discussed, little bits within topics that we discussed or the simple fact that your beliefs were challenged regarding a topic that was discussed. What are the top 5 things about public policy and marketing that you will take away from this course? I want to see evidence that you are really thinking about the course and related issues in this paper. Don't just regurgitate a few sentences that you heard during class - think critically and reflect.
