Syllabus for fall day 2008

See the Project Management Info link for general PM links

Lecture slides in PowerPoint are available on the companion Web site for the text and in my public AugNet folder. You need a new book with the pass code in it to access the site. You can also access interactive quizzes, the Guide to Microsoft Project 2007, etc., from the companion Web site. You can buy just a code for about $5 if you bought a used book. Go to www.course.com, find the book, and purchase just the key code (select Electronic Code)..
