Library Resources
The 成人大片’s Barr Smith Library provides a range of learning resources including texts, journals, periodicals, magazines, and access to online databases and information services. It also offers a virtual library which is accessible via the University’s website. Access to the Library's electronic resources.

is the 成人大片's online learning environment. It is used to support traditional face-to-face lectures, tutorials and workshops at the University. MyUni provides access to various features including announcements, course materials, discussion boards and assessments for each online course of study.

This course is taught on-campus utilising face to face lectures, workshops, meetings and directed study.

The course is intended to be more practical in nature and essentially based around the successful completion of a major project management plan document hence the lecture/workshop orientation of the course will be focused on providing knowledge and information to assist students during this directed study.

The course learning materials are found on MyUni.

Students are expected to attend lectures, workshops and meetings as scheduled. Furthermore, students need to conduct their own directed study to meet the course requirements. Note that students will be required to work on three assessment pieces which will be submitted for grading. These assessment pieces are designed to be reflective of a 6 unit course.

As a general guide, a 6 unit course requires 72 hours of structured learning with a total workload of 312 hours anticipated during the course.

The course covers project management concepts that aid in the development of the course assessments and particularly the project management plan. The lectures, workshops, meetings and directed study are provided in this respect. Students will need to do considerable work outside of class to complete the course requirements.

The weekly lecture schedule is structured as follows

Week 1	Course Introduction
Week 2	Project Conceptualisation and Charters
Week 3	Objectives, Scoping, Risk and Stakeholders
Week 4	Deliverables, Cost, Time and Team
Week 5	Project Management Planning
Week 6	Student Meetings and Discussion
Week 7	Assessing Budgets and Schedules
Week 8	Planning for Risk, Procurement and Quality
Week 9	Student Meetings and Discussion
Week 10	Project Team, Stakeholders and Communications
Week 11	Project Presentation Seminar (PM Plans)
Week 12	Course Review and Career Discussion

Due to the current COVID-19 situation modified arrangements have been made to assessments to facilitate remote learning and teaching. Assessment details provided here reflect recent updates.

Students should be aware that considerable knowledge and skills will be taught in the course. Hence, students should attend all classes in order to pass the course.

Course results may be subject to moderation by the Assessment Review Committee.

Project Charter: each student is expected to initiate a project idea of interest which they will focus on throughout the whole course. The project needs to be adequately conceptulaised and the lecturer will guide students in this respect. Students will set out to provide a well-developed project charter that outlines the key aspects of their project. The learning outcomes will be delivered by each student providing relevant information on their project in readiness to proceed onto the project management plan assessment.

Project Presentation: an individual presentation is expected from each student. This will be based on each student's project that is being studied. The presentation will incorporate the project attributes and provide an overview of the proposed project management plan. Students will need to demonstrate their ability to confidently present their project management plan using appropriate visual aids to satisfy the learning outcomes.

Project Management Plan Report: the major assessment in the course is based around the submission of a comprehensive project management plan on each student’s project. It shall be provided in report format that will follow on from the project charter to more fully explain the proposed plan to execute the project and provide for intended successful outcomes. It is expected that the report will conclude with a reflective discussion on the project and the proposed plan. The learning outcomes within this assessment will be displayed via the production of a project management plan document of professional standard.

All text based assignments must be submitted via MyUni:

• Assignment Submission: Assignments should not be emailed to the instructor; they must be lodged via the MyUni Course site (unless specified to do both).
• Cover Sheet: Please include in the assignment a completed 成人大片 Assessment Cover Sheet (found in MyUni, under Modules) providing details of yourself and your team members (if applicable), your assignment, the course, date submitted, etc. as well as the declaration signed by you that this is your (your team’s) work. Note that the declaration on any electronically submitted assignment will be deemed to have the same authority as a signed declaration.
• Backup Copy of Assignments: You are advised to keep a copy of your assignments in case the submitted copy goes missing. Please ensure that all assignment pages are numbered. If your assignment contains confidential information, you should discuss any concerns with the Course Lecturer prior to submission.
• Assessment extensions request: An application for Assessment Extension should be made before the due date of the assignment to the Course Lecturer. Normally, extensions will only be granted for a maximum of two weeks from the original assignment submission date. Extensions will only be granted in cases of genuine medical, compassionate or extenuating circumstances. See sections 3 and 7a) i. in particular on assessment extensions in the Modified Arrangements for Coursework Assessment (MACA) Policy.
• Failure to submit: Failure to submit an assignment on time or by the agreed extension deadline may result in penalties and may incur a fail grade. Note that a late penalty of 5% of the total available marks for that assessment item will be incurred each day an assignment is handed in late (Unless otherwise stated in 'Assessment Related Requirements' or 'Assessment Detail' above). Assignments handed in after 14 days from the due submission date will fail even if a 100% mark is granted for the work.
• Resubmission: of an assignment after reworking it to obtain a better mark will not normally be accepted. Approval for resubmission will only be granted on medical or compassionate grounds.
• Appealing a mark or grade: If you are dissatisfied with your mark or grade, you may request a review or re-mark. There must be academic or procedural reasons for your request, so you can’t simply request a re-mark because you are disappointed with your result.
