    Learning material

    We do not actually use a course book, but instead pick up resources from there and from there - but if you learn best by reading a proper book from A to Z then I recommend (from Tritonia):

    Heagney, J. (2012). Fundamentals of project management (4th ed.). Nev York: American Management Association.


    And maybe:

    (2013). A guide to the project management body of knowledge (PMBOK® guide) (5th ed.). Newtown Square, PA: Project Management Institute.

    Kerzner, H. (2015). Project management 2.0: Leveraging tools, distributed collaboration, and metrics for project success. Hoboken, New Jersey: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    .
    For participation in project work, the following points are awarded:
    Failed = 0p (The work is obviously deficient, parts are left unfinished)
    Accepted = 1p (A good work)

    .
    For participation in a feedback-session (constructive, detailed feedback) = 1p
    For completion of a self-development activity (serious, analytical) = 1p
    .
