General Information

Overview

The unit introduces you to systems thinking, systems engineering and systems management principles, concepts, tools and techniques for project, program and portfolio managers (PPPM). Systems thinking offers you a powerful perspective to help design clever and enduring solutions. In your study, you will learn how to effectively apply systems engineering and systems management to organise complex projects. You will also identify the implementation of systems to create outputs and manage information flows. You will study contemporary developments in PPPM using international software, standards and knowledge bases as well as modelling and simulation techniques. As a consequence of managing PPPM information, you will be able to support effective knowledge management and decision making in an organisation.

Recommendation

Encourage students to seek clarification on their marks. Include a dedicated session in the tutorial lesson plan after releasing the marks to discuss assessment results. Continue to incorporate Turnitin rubrics for each assessment to streamline administration and enable markers to provide direct feedback on student submissions specifically.

Feedback from Feedback from the student evaluation survey

Feedback

It is highly appreciated to enhance the online quiz 1 since the questions were situational and quite challenging.

Recommendation

Offer sample questions for the online quiz corresponding to each learning week, allowing students to review lecture content and prepare for the quiz. Integrate case studies into tutorial material to help students become accustomed to situational questions.
