Project management, and the skills and techniques underpinning it, are incredibly important in the modern workplace and can also be helpful in everyday life. In this course, students learn about the goals, strategies, and teamwork behind effective project management. This is a fully online class so I will pair up students to improve a page related to the course, completing project management techniques to plan and implement the work.

This site is intended to help you with the Wikipedia project but none of the assignments mentioned here are required. I will provide some extra credit points if you complete some.
