Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
This course is intended to run in a standard semester format via on-campus face to face lectures and tutorials. This course is more practical in nature weaving project management and industry practices into various project types. The aim is for students to gather specific industry knowledge alongside of recognised project management knowledge. The learning and teaching materials will be made available to students on the online MyUni platform so that students can refer to lecture presentations and other learning materials.Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
Students are expected to attend lectures and tutorials as scheduled. Furthermore, students should prepare for lectures and revise post lecture to improve understanding of each week’s course module. Students will be directed to work on three different assessment pieces and submit for grading. As a general guide, a 3 unit course requires
Total workload hours: 12 Hrs per week x 13 weeks = 156 Hrs
Total contact hours: 3 Hrs per week x 12 weeks = 36 Hrs
Total self-guided study: 156 Hrs – 36 Hrs = 120 HrsLearning Activities Summary
The course is intended to present more advanced project management concepts to broaden student knowledge and skills. This will be become apparent during lectures, tutorials and assessments. Study will also need to be undertaken outside of lectures and tutorials to enhance student learning.
The weekly lecture schedule is structured as follows Week Topic 1 Course Introduction 2 Industry and Projects 3 Project Planning Perspectives 4 Project Constraints and Deliverables 5 Commercial Aspects on Projects 6 Industrial Relations and Projects 7 Occupational Health and Safety Requirements 8 Stakeholder Environments within Industry 9 Project Management and Technology 10 Sustainability in Project Practices 11 Industry Project Presentations 12 Course Review and Discussion -

Course results may be subject to moderation by the Assessment Review Committee.Assessment Detail
Industry Essay: this assessment will require each student to investigate various industries and fields to gain an understanding on how different sectors manage their projects. The essay topic will generally direct students to research various work areas and highlight particular project aspects supported by recognised project management knowledge. The learning outcomes assessment will illustrate how well each student has understood project practices in various industries and fields.
Project Practices Report: this assignment will be an individual report assessment. It will focus on industrial relations and occupational health and safety issues as applied to projects. Students will be required to look at industry projects and ascertain good management and commercial practice when planning and delivering projects in this regard. This assessment will highlight learning outcomes with students being able to display their understanding in respect to industrial relations, safety and commerce in both general and specific project terms
Group Report and Presentation: this major report and presentation will be conducted by students in small groups. Students can study a specific project or type of project or do a comparison of two or three projects with differing industrial bases. The main thrust will be to detail the successful execution of nominated project(s) with some emphasis on the various stakeholders involved. The learning outcomes of this group based assessment will be shown via students displaying their understanding of the various course topics and applying these to their industry based projects.
Attendance and Participation: this assessment requires students to attend tutorials and participate in individual exercises, group work and the industry presentations. This assessment will cover a broad range of topics enhancing overall student learning outcomes.Submission

Student Feedback
The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.
