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.

The Project Procurement and Resourcing course will be taught via traditional on-campus face to face lectures and tutorials. It is intended to provide students both conceptual and strategic knowledge in respect to project procurement and resourcing. It will make use of applied industry scenarios so as to provide students with real life examples of this important project management area. The learning materials will be accessible to students via the online MyUni platform. This will allow students to refer to course resources in their own time.

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 Hrs

The course will cover projectprocurement and resourcing concepts, strategies and practice. An emphasis will be made on the practical application of relevant knowledge and skills within this area. The lectures, tutorials and assessments are designed to equip students with some capability within this area. Personal study outside of class time will be needed to succeed in this course.

Project Procurement Essay: this is an individual assessment that will require students to research various forms of procurement processes and practices. This should be reviewed and supported by credible literature. It will also include studying procurement strategies so that the aims and objectives of projects are satisfied and successful outcomes can be achieved. The assessment will provide for learning outcomes that include acquiring relevant project management planning, procurement and contracting knowledge.

Project Resourcing Report: this will be a group assessment where all students will need to contribute equally. It will ask student groups to investigate a real life project or case study in respect to the project team and the human resources that will be required to plan and execute the works. The findings should be documented in a professional report that is both practical and factual on how human resources would be deployed in any given project or case study. This report will illustrate learning outcomes in areas such as human resource planning, recruitment and development.

'Take Home' Assessment: this assessment will replace the examination paper in 2020. The course content on project procurement and resourcing will be assessed and students are expected to understand the various course concepts and be able to apply them to succeed in this assessment. The learning outcomes will have each student exhibiting a good level of knowledge in respect to the course content.
