In addition, we play the "Project Management" game which assesses the student's ability to initiate, plan, execute, control, and close a project. The game also evaluates whether or not students are able to apply risk management.

Last but not least, there is a written exam that assesses all aspects of the course. An example exam is available & is discussed in class.
