Define the method of assignment. Project learning can be achieved using a variety of tools such as business case study (description of problem situations), games or simulations (controlled social interaction).
State the problem. Clearly define and describe the problem, highlighting what academic goals will be satisfied and the time frame for completion.
List possible constraints. Define the criteria for success and what conditions must be met to consider the proposed solution satisfactory for acceptance. The use of a rubric or grading assessment can assist with this effort.
Provide sources for additional information. Gather information relevant to the problem and elements associated with it, such as internal or external factors about the company in a business case study.
Develop constructive assessment techniques. Create feedback mechanisms that challenge perspective, encourage further analysis and test the validity of generalizations.
