Assignment structure

Refer to the Assignment Guidelines for assistance in completing Assignment 2. Remember to

integrate academic theory into your assignment to support your arguments and proposals.

Guidelines for preparation of assignments are provided on the StudyDesk for the course.

These are in the form of short Videos which explain how to carry out critical analysis of your

selected project in relation to the topics for each assignment. You are strongly advised to

watch these Videos multiple times during the semester to ensure you have an understanding of
the expectations of the course examiner.

To carry out this assignment, it will be necessary for you to read other texts and journal

articles on managing projects. It is recommended that you use the e-Books and electronic

journals available from the USQ Library website.

By now, you should have chosen a project for analysis. If you are working on a very large

project, you can use one of its sub-proj ects for your assignment. If the project is too large, it

may increase your workload significantly and it is not recommended.
