project. The third assignment is to evaluate the risks associated with a new project and their cost/time penalty, and to recommend feasible remedial actions to mitigate these risks. Detailed formative feedback during the operation of the module will enable the students to develop an awareness of their rate and level of progress, and their strengths and weaknesses in the subject area. Such feedbacks are given through group discussion, workshop, tutorials sessions and on-line (formative) assessments to support the students to prepare for above summative assessments prior to submission.
