************************************************************************

After watching the discussion, identify onesignificant idea or concept that was discussed. For this idea or concept, analyze it as follows:

• Step 1 (What?): What did you notice / what stood out? (salient point of theme)
  • Describe the idea or concept fully. Ensure that it is a significant idea or concept and not something trivial. It should be something that was new to you or interesting in some way.
  • You must include a direct quote of the exact words spoken during the podcast and provide appropriate APA references including the timestamp of your quote. See the section below entitled APA Referencing Guidelines below.
• Step 2 (Relates to what?): What course learning does this relate to?
  • Relate this to the course content - that is, identify the relevant project management theory from the course textbook.
  • You must include a direct quote from the course textbook (Understanding Project Management) and provide appropriate APA referencing including the page number of the quote. See the section below entitled APA Referencing Guidelines below.
  • You may not reference another source - that is, do not reference a website or other material.
• Step 3 (So what?): So what insights or conclusions can you draw?
  • Describe what this means to you. for example:
    • What are your insights?
    • What can be concluded?
    • How might this change or affect what you would do in future?
  • Your insight needs to be more than "I learned this concept". You need to include some original thought here - strive for a more insightful conclusion.
