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.

The assignments offered on this platform are an excellent way to learn about editing Wikipedia. Completing these assignments will earn you up to 5 additional points on your final grade.
