Implementation methods, demonstration and Work&Study

Implementations: Contact, Online, virtual, Demo and Work&Study

If you already meet the learning objectives of this course, you can demonstrate your knowledge. You can do this by taking the DEMO implementation, which you need to sign up for through PEPPI.

If you complete the course through a competence demonstration (DEMO-implementation), the demonstration assignments are the following:

1. Recorded Presentation (40%)
Prepare a recorded presentation (10–15 minutes) to demonstrate your competence in the course’s subject areas. Both the presentation content/slides and the presenter must be visible simultaneously during the entire presentation. The video must also be subtitled. You also need to connect your knowledge to relevant theoretical frameworks/knowledge bases.

2. Reflection of Learning and Competence Development (60%)
Write a reflective assignment about your personal learning process and competence development in the areas of teamwork and project management. You may base your reflection on prior work experience, academic study, independent learning, or a combination of these. Connect your reflection to theoretical frameworks and explain how your knowledge has developed.

Intro

Working in a team and managing a project are basic skills in today’s work and study environment. In a well-functioning team 1+1 becomes more than two and diversity is perceived as a strength. In this course, you will learn to participate effectively and responsibly in multi-cultural teams and projects. You will acquire skills for handling challenging situations in teams and you will be able to execute projects related to work or studies. In this course, among other objectives, you will learn how to set objectives for a project, how to write a project plan and how to develop teamwork. You learn more about yourself by analyzing team working methods and team role tests. A human being learns in interaction with others, so this course will benefit you throughout your life.
