Academic Project Management~ What is its value to you, the student?
- Image via Wikipedia
I am a busy bee typing up posts for the Study Club Resource Area. I review a selected project management system available online that I believe may be of benefit to you, the student. Zoho Personal
Yes~academic project management~ it all seems a bit daunting~ and why bother! some may ask. Because your semester goals and steps to get there are worth the 2-3 hours of planning in Week 1.
You have a much better chance of finishing high quality assignments when you use some sort of systematic framework to plot a course. Of some sort ~:-)
Remember, that in the field as a professional of Social, Health and/or Business Industries, you will be expected to manage projects to get jobs done. Most of the processes involved in project management are common sense and can be generalised across contexts. Programs such as Zoho Personal provide a general framework, and you the student can tweak it to suit your academic needs.
A systematic framework requires you to slow down
and to think about the
details to manage your project effectively.
You become accountable for your time and effort with your studies.You are much better able to cluster topics across subjects and tutorials/demonstrations and seminars. Your academic project management adventure awaits. I suggest a visit to Zoho Personal (I am not affiliated with them; I have a free account).
And if you are interested in joining one of my tutor:mentor groups using this program, You will need to sign up for the Study Club. Registration is $30 per month, either by subscription or when you need.

By the way, I love your little dig at student time-management skills (or lack thereof…lol)…

Not only are you completely correct re the need for “some sort of systemic framework”, but history has shown that projects of all sizes and types have failed to be completed within a set time-frame purely because of a lack of pre-planning in the first place.
