Conclusions
Have you concluded that PMBoK is a good way of thinking of this subject?

Does it help dividing a project and then integrating all the sections to create a successful project.

Things to check: (many of these are things that have previously caused students to lose marks)

Is the front cover of the assignment filled in - it really helps if you include your name and date of issue.

Do the page numbers / headings in the Table of Contents match with those in your assignment?

Are your headings similar to those in the template (have you based your headings on previous semesters assignments)?

Have you written everything in italic text? (It's been done before and will lose you lots of marks).

Have you checked the PDF?

We request PDF format because there have been problems with missing / overwritten diagrams or page formatting that is completely unable to be read on the different forms of MS word or Libreoffice or google docs. In some cases this has meant that the student has failed the subject. If we cannot read something then we cannot give you marks.

Is there still a version number in the footer of your assignment? Does it match that in the version control section? Is there a matching version number on the front cover of your assignment?

Do version dates in footer / header / version control table match that on the front cover?

Do you want to include a section 1.3 with a glossary of terms / definitions /TLAs (three letter acronyms eg QA stands for Quality Assurance, not Question and Answer) eg. What is meant by subject? Definitions are essential in Project Management for example, your idea of a road is probably very different from mine (see the picture on the last page of the group assignment template).

Have you written something under every heading? Have you checked it wasn't the phrase "blah blah blah" (or similar) that you were going to do a search and replace on? (unfortunately this has been found in assignments quite a few times)

Have you included citations and references and do they match with each other - preferably more than requested, definitely in required format.

Are your references actual refereed journals / papers / books (for example a blog is not a refereed publication). Check with the library if you are unsure.

Many students state in part 1 that they are going to attend every lecture and tutorial and in part 2 they state that they have done so. A quick count of students in lectures / tutorials shows that this is not so. With Zoom, we can verify this information.
If figures / pictures / graphs are used they should have a citation and a reference

There's an industry joke: "I'll know it when I see it" - does this describe your objectives or your choices.

How do we know that you've written this yourself and thought about what you've written? Examples of personal experience (even if it is bad experiences or poorly written) will help us feel more comfortable with what you have written
