Generally an analysis of the readings will be used to guide our discussion, but the format will be free-flowing and may vary considerably. In a seminar we collectively share ownership and responsibility for the success of the course. Each week, student should spend 20-30 minutes presenting the main idea(s) and contribution of the assigned papers. All other students must prepare at least one “intelligent” issue to be discussed in the class.

Journal articles of project management will be selected from top journal.
Articles noted in the attached tentative schedule will be made available in my office. Articles probably will be added as the semester progresses.
