Institution:

Cleary University

Subject:

Description:

This is a directed study course that allows a student to complete an individualized project on a topic selected and planned with his/her faculty. Projects undertaken in this class take the form of either a feasibility study or a process improvement project. Students who complete the feasibility study learn project planning, management, and evaluation skills. Feasibility projects may develop a business plan for a new venture or new initiative. Students who complete a process improvement project learn to map a process, construct process measures, identify root causes, and implement improvement theories guided by a PDSA (plan-do-study-act) method. Process improvement projects may be completed utilizing an improvement team led by the student in cooperation with his/her employer. Projects are completed during the regular 12-week term for a letter grade derived from evaluation of completed activities that were identified in a learning agreement. This course may be taken for one, two, three, or four credits as determined by the faculty person, based on the scope of the proposed project. PJT 251, 252, 253, and 254 courses may be taken in succession, utilizing a multi-term project, or with different projects each term.
