How do I produce high quality work that merits a good grade?

Refer to the Assessment criteria marking grid, noting what should be produced to achieve Commendation/Distinction level marks. This will be discussed further in class.

How does this assignment relate to what we are doing in scheduled sessions?

The class sessions in Weeks 4 and 5 discuss the key project management approaches and methodologies. You will have opportunity to consider the use of these approaches and methodologies, their benefits and issues. This knowledge will help you to produce an evaluative report for your second assessment.

The class sessions in Week 5 also look at academic writing and referencing at the Masters-Level, to support you in preparing your report for Assessment 2.

Assuming that you share it by the pre-determined deadline, you will have the opportunity to receive feedback on your draft report in class so that you can improve your report before final submission.
