About Term Project

This course offers a virtual project management experience. The purpose of this activity is to enable you to practice what you learn during this course. This exercise commences from Module 1 in which you are required to select the term project topic. Your term project will continue through all eight modules of this course. It will end in Module 8 with a video presentation of your term project as well as the submission of an organized portfolio of project management related reports.

In all the modules of this course, the discussions and assignments are designed to facilitate the simulation of various tasks involving project managers. These activities have detailed instructions to progressively guide your term project to its finish.

Through the discussion responses your cohort of students is expected to support the improvement of the information presented regarding your term project tasks. By adopting this approach, the discussion activities in this course offer the experience of working in teams.

The discussion in each module is directly connected to the assignment of the following module. The discussion posts and the feedback related to your term project will help you complete a significant portion of the work required in the assignments of the subsequent modules.
