Rebekah Antonucci
Rebekah is studying marketing and won a unit award for Marketing Research Methods in the 2012 Monash Marketing Awards for Excellence. We asked Rebekah how she managed to win the unit award for Marketing Research Methods? I believe I was able to get the mark I did for a few reasons. Firstly, the assignment was a large portion of my mark and this was done in a group. I was lucky enough to meet some great people through this and we worked well and hard together to complete the assignment (which also won an award!). When it comes to exams, I put in lots of dedication and hours of study to try and do the best I can, and this contributed to my mark as well. My tutor Nick, and lecturer Dominic, were also helpful and happy to answer any questions!
