Course OverviewCOURSE DESCRIPTIONAn overview of the key concepts of project management including the history, practices, and methods common to project management will be covered. Students will learn the basics of project management using the Project Management Institute approach. This course satisfies the education requirement for project management professional certification. It is not a PMP test preparation course.

COURSE RATIONALE:This course is designed to provide the student with an understanding of the principles of project management. It also provides the student with a set of methodologies to guide a successful project implementation. An understanding of project management practices is invaluable, because project management crosses all industries. The skills learned in this course will not become obsolete in the foreseeable future.

Next, well discuss grading and classroom policies and procedures. In my experience, the biggest obstacle to success and the single most common cause of project failure is the lack of effective and appropriate communication. Knowing what is expected, communicating early and often, and always demonstrating respect for one another goes a long way in keep communications open and positive. Getting on the same page and staying there is also one of the hardest things to do in Project Management. Heres an example.

GradingEXAMS: You will have a total of three (3) exams (totaling 45 points, 15, 15, and 15 respectively). You will record your answer using your Scantron.CLASS PROJECT: There will be a class project, worth 21 points. The project will demonstrate knowledge of key concepts taught in the course and successful completion will enhance your project management skill and understanding.EXERCISES: You will have twelve homework assignments that relate to each chapter. Each exercise is worth two points each, totaling 24 points. ATTENDANCE / PARTICIPATION: In order to achieve ten points for attendance and participation. I expect you to attend all the classes for this course. The breakdown for attendance is as follows. Two points will be subtracted for each time you miss, 1 for participation and 1 for attendance. There is no makeup for participation. (0 - 10 points) (1 - 8 points) (2 6 points) (3 4 points) (4 2 point) (5 0 points)

GradingIncomplete GradeThe awarding of an incomplete grade is at the discretion of the instructor; as long as the student has been attending the class, is passing and has an unforeseen emergency, an incomplete can be awarded. The "I" can only be given after the 12th week of the semester.Emergency circumstances are considered situations beyond the control of the student. The criteria to give an I grade are as follows: The student must be passing the course. The student must have to complete a contract which is mutually agreed upon by the student and the instructor. The student must have a true emergency, such as emergency surgery. Change of Grades A student who believes that a grade has been awarded unfairly or incorrectly should first contact the instructor who awarded the grade to discuss the issue and attempt to resolve the dispute. If the matter is not resolved to the students satisfaction, the student may appeal the grade to the Chief Academic Officer at the location where the course was offered. The student will be advised of the appeal process, which includes a written statement from the student and the instructors written response. A committee will be selected and a grade-appeal hearing will be scheduled. Grade appeals must be filed within 90 days of the conclusion of the semester or session during which the student was enrolled in the course where the challenged practice occurred.

Policies and ProceduresThe instructional delivery systems include, but are not limited to, a combination of lecture, demonstration, class discussion, and individual exercises. To meet the minimum objectives of this class successfully, students are responsible for correctly completing all assigned units of instruction as outlined by the instructor. You are expected to read the assigned material before it is covered in the lecture. Use the Course Plan as your day-to-day guide throughout the semester. It is a good idea to write down any questions you may have about the reading material, for input during class discussion. Student performance will be assessed by in-class exercises, exams, class discussion, class projects, and attendance. It is important that you DO NOT fall behind in this class, because the information and concepts in several chapters require an understanding from the previous chapters.

Behavior Expectations: Only registered students are allowed to attend classes. Children are not allowed in the classroom. Unattended children are not allowed in LRC, Lab or hallways.Cell phones and pagers must be turned off and stored away during classEating and Drinking in classrooms and labs are prohibited. During class time you are NOT allowed to be disrupted by holding personal conversations during lecture or class discussion. During class time you are NOT allowed to play computer games or access the Internet for unrelated class materials. Attendance Policy: It is required that attendance is recorded daily since many students are receiving state and federal money that requires positive attendance verification. You will receive a 0 for positive attendance verification if you do not attend one class session prior to the deadline date. You will not be reinstated into the course if you do not attend. Students that do NOT appear on the class roster will NOT receive a Final Grade from the course. Also review the attendance policy listed under the evaluation procedures.Policies and Procedures

Assignment Criteria:Each assignment must be typed and turned in by the assigned due date. Late assignments prior to the corresponding exam will be worth one point each, after the exam there will be no points.The homework assignments will be used for examination review. You cannot make up assignments or in-class exercises, because they can't be utilized after their corresponding exam has passed. Acceptance of late work:The homework assignments will be used for examination review. You cannot make up assignments or in-class exercises after the exam for the work has passed. Policy for missed exams:No makeup exams will be given unless the student has notified the instructor prior to the scheduled data of the exam. To give the instructor time to schedule a re-take. Extenuating circumstances:(Death in the family, Jury duty dates, hospitalizations), notify the instructor as soon as the circumstances occur, to ensure you can make up the work. Don't wait until after the fact. Policies and Procedures
