Setting expectations (What)Problem based and project organized study
• Problem oriented study– Focus on problem formulation and the students build problem solutions
upon relevant empiric studies and theories – You are not limited by obligatory theory
• Project organized study – Start/end, goal & resources– The group produces a a project report, and finally an evaluation will be
held
• Student organized and controlled– The group chooses problem, method, empiric studies & theory etc..– Together with your supervisor ( interested party nr 1.)
• Real world oriented– Problem is often related to a real-world situation

This is where you are heading in order to learn
by working with your projects

Setting expectations (Why) Qualifications
• Why are student-projects important parts of the curriculum? • Activating students• Developing professional skills and qualifications• Developing personal and communicational qualifications
• Why problem based projects?• Motivation by solving real problems• Developing methodical qualifications• Developing new data, information and knowledge

Working in projectsProject definition
A project is a sequence of tasks with a beginning and an end that is bounded by time, resources, and desired results.
Results (product, features, quality)
TimeResources
![Page 20: Introduction to the course and to PBL and projects](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815f57550346895dce3888/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Working in projects Project characteristics
• Task/problem oriented• Complex• Character of development• Cross organizational• Multi-disciplinary• Unique• Timelimited
![Page 21: Introduction to the course and to PBL and projects](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815f57550346895dce3888/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Working in projectsWhy projects?
• Flexible and effective• Works across organisational boundaries• Better chance of reaching target
– On time, on budget, on quality
![Page 22: Introduction to the course and to PBL and projects](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815f57550346895dce3888/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The quest for the holy grail
Who are we?How do we work together?Roles, competences etc?
What is the goal?Success criteria's?Deliverables?
Context characteristic?Rules, possibilities and restrictions?
Project challenges?Group challenges?Competences etc.?
Helpers?Who are they?How can we use them?

Project experiences
What do I add to the group?
Experiences withworking in groups
The ideal group?
Great personal experiences
![Page 24: Introduction to the course and to PBL and projects](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815f57550346895dce3888/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Project experiences
Draw you coat of arms
Discuss in minor groups (2 or 3 persons in each group) your coat of arms and your opinions and experiences with working in groups.
What have you drawn and why?
![Page 25: Introduction to the course and to PBL and projects](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815f57550346895dce3888/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Working in projects
• Different perspectives• Different qualities• Generating a team spirit (challenge & help)• Generating a shared vision• Communication is key• This is most likely the way you are going work when you has finished your
education

What is a problem?• One or more questions that needs further investigations
– something not fully solved– needs more information/knowledge about– use your own personal curiosity, wonder & astonishment
• You as a group choose your own – main subject – problem formulation– literature & empirical studies– process (Still according to overall framework)
• It is not as easy as it sounds– Use your curiosity and natural wonder– Is the problem exciting (does it turn you on? – and others?)– Ask questions (do not look for answers)– Use different perspectives
![Page 29: Introduction to the course and to PBL and projects](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815f57550346895dce3888/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Problem formulationCharacteristics
• Interesting – right in bulls eye
• Good argumentation, well structured – A real problem
• Follows up in a logical way from project introduction
• Formulated in a clear, understandable and precise language
• Structured with a main problem/questions and sub questions
• Clear delimitation – activities, choices and perspectives• Remember that the question(s) asked in the problem formulation must be
answered in the conclusion of your report
Use an effective way of lay-out that supports your message

To the next time
• Read Guidelines for preparing projects reports
• Start thinking about a project, a problem or a subject
• Start sharing your thoughts with other students
