Project Planning
Learning how to develop project planning and assignment management skills
Introduction
One of the most essential skills required at international universities is an ability to analyse, plan, and manage assigned projects. This is particularly important in terms of graded coursework assignments such as essays, reports, and presentations.
Moreover, an inability to manage the process of project planning is the main reason why some students attempt to complete tasks at the last minute that typically results in disappointing grade underachievement.
