| Overall objective |
The workshop module Project Management and Evaluation trains students to manage and evaluate projects in public and private organisations. It introduces students to the techniques used in planning, managing and evaluating a process of achieving project goals within given constraints. It facilitates the application of these techniques in practical exercises. |
| Detailed description of content |
The course is structured around the group-based work on developing a project plan for a fictive project, which also constitutes the examination assignment. Lectures will gradually introduce aspects of the project plan followed by workshops where drafts of project plan sections will be discussed and subject to feed-back from both teachers and student peers.
