It has been brought to my attention that Subang candidates are not or shall I say do not frequently visit the USQ Study desk. As I have mentioned on numerous occasions during my lectures, this blog DOES NOT replace the studydesk. Instead, this is just amongst the few ‘value-added’ services for candidates that choose Subang as their preferred learning centre. Therefore, I urge all candidate to frequently visit the studydesk and the link has been provided for in this blog.

MGT8025 Assignmnet 1 & Module Discussion

Dr Faisal — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 07:00:56 +0000

UPDATE:

Dear Candidates, I have been receiving queries concerning the second part of the Assignment 1 depsite me posting the ‘suggesttions’. Please read the suggestions. Just a brief recap, Discuss the factors that influence as mentioned in the assignment question. Then, should you use 11% as your discounted rate, please make sure you are able to rationalised why you use the figure 11, not 8 or not 15. Upon computing your NPV & IRR, just dont give me the figures, but explain what does it mean. Say your NPV is 1.5million and IRR 25.18%, you must be able to explain what does those figures means… in relation to your project. Hope it further clarifies what you are expected to do.

As discussed in the class, Don’t over-do with definitions and a like, but focus on the project brief to the statement made and support your opinion. Remember that to link back to your project brief and answer the issues/concern brought forward!

Module Sessions

Dr Faisal — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 15:47:52 +0000

Dear Candidates,

After reviewing the MGT8025 study guide given by USQ, I have noticed that Module 1 – The Project Environment is common accross MGT 8022 and MGT 8024. Since those attending MGT 8025 will be attending the MGT8022 and some of you have done it in MGT 8024; I am NOT going to discuss Module 1 in this session. I am going to skip Module 1 and go straight to Module 2. You can refresh yourself by revisiting the old notes (given by your previous lecturer) or my blog by clicking the above links. Please be advised.

Cheers

Dr Faisal

Subject Breakdown

Dr Faisal — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 14:20:44 +0000

I have received queries from associates concerning the differences between various subjects within Project Management specialisation. Referring to Figure 1-0 below, MGT 8022 provides associates with the overall project management framework, hence the subject title is as such. It covers all the 9 knowledge areas promoted by Project Management Institute (PMI), U.S.A. The details of each knowledge areas are covered by different subject, such as this one MGT 8025.
