Course Structure 

The PM Orientation course is divided into 14 modules.  Within each of those modules the content has been divided between 7 tabs.      

 

 

 

To display the content under the tab click on the tab.  The seven tabs are:

  1. Fast Points:  At the beginning of each module under the Fast Points tab there is a high level overview of the content of the module.  In this area the students learning objectives will also be listed.   
  2. Concept:  This is where the module concepts are presented to the student.  This section is divided into several topics for each module.
  3. Seven Keys: If you want to see how the Seven Keys applies to this topic, go to this tab. 
  4. Case Study: As part of the learning in this course, there is a case study to allow you to apply what you are learning.  The case study is documented under the

    Case Study tabs in each module.  Under this tab you will see the case study activity that is associated with the module and the case study solution.  
  5. WWPMM: Under the WWPMM tab you will see how the PM methodology applies to each of these modules.  
  6. Mentor:  Your mentor Marjorie relates some of her own experiences as to why this material is important. You can see her comments in each module under the Mentor tab.  
  7. Checkpoint:  There are a series of self check questions for each module under the Checkpoint tab to enable you to reflect on what you have learned.  These questions appear in the following formats:

    • Multiple choice
    • True or false
    • Matching

Your participation in these self-check questions is not tracked.
