Assessment 3 Detail
This assessment requires students to analyze a real-life project (either ongoing or completed) to develop and write a QRP management plan. Students can select projects in their field of interest, but the project must be aligned with the discipline of project management. This assessment also requires students to present the QRP plan as a separate oral presentation. For this purpose, students can use digital media (such as Powerpoint with embedded voice/video) to record their presentation. Both components of the assessment must be submitted in Canvas using the assignment submission link for final marking. The following resources may assist the student in selecting a real-life project:
- The Australian Government’s Department Infrastructure and Transport. National Infrastructure Construction Schedule (NICS): https://www.nics.gov.au/Project
- Transport for UNSW: https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/projects
- The city of Sydney, Changing urban precincts: http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/vision/changing-urban-precincts
The assessment consists of two parts: report and oral presentation. The report should be prepared and submitted as a regular assessment using the submission link from Canvas with a proper Turnitin check for the similarity. The details of the oral presentation will be discussed in the workshop session.
