1. The Individual Assignment/Research Report carries 50% weight in the overall grade
2. You need to follow the steps indicated below:
•Identify a topic that falls within the scope of the module (i.e. within what is covered in the module regarding the Principles and Practice of Project Management)
•Formulate a question that best reflects the issue you want to analyse
•Write a paragraph or two on what you want to do, why and how (include a few essential references that you want to use)
•Keep an eye on the size of the report. The report should not exceed 2,500 words excluding any references, and annexes.
•Read the report once it is finished. Check whether it reads well and there is logical flow of ideas. Revise the report if required
•Do not send the report for comments to the Module Leader. It is part of your assessment and hence the Module Leader will not provide comments before submission of the report
• Any delays in submission attract a penalty of one grade point per day of late submission.
