The students will be assessed on their capacity to translate the learned theory into practice (project planning, tracking and management), as well as on their capacity to reflect on topics adjacent to project management. To this end, the following evaluations are foreseen:
• Identification and detailed description of an innovation project through analysis of press articles, literature, personal experience, etc. Definition of objectives for a re-orientation of the project. (Presentation)

• Project recovery presentation.

The University of Offenburg is currently negotiating terms for the introduction of a new IT-based project management and planning system. Depending on the outcome of these negotiations, a tool-specific evaluation may replace one or several of the above mentioned evaluations.
