Teaching method

The curricular unit is based on lectures complemented by practical group work. Lectures include the presentation and discussion of project management concepts, processes, methods, and techniques.
Practical exercises are focused on simple project plan preparation, based on a case study presented to the students.

Evaluation method

Grades are composed of Theory (exam) and Practice (work project group).

Written exam (NE): minimum score of 9,5 is mandatory (*)
Practice classification (NP) = delivered work classification.
Final classification (NF)= (0,6* NE + 0,4 * NP)
(*) In cases where the written exam classification is lower than 9,5 the student is not approved and the practice classification is ignored.

Subject matter

The curricular unit is organized into five Learning Units (LU):

LU1: Foundations of Project Management

LU2: Project Management Processes and Areas of Knowledge.
