Computer-Aided Learning and Assessment of Critical Path Analysis

This project was undertaken at Coventry University during the year 2004-2005 with the aim of overcoming the difficulties of teaching and assessing a very large group of students with wide-ranging experience and ability. The programs developed have been used with level one students in Coventry Business School for two consecutive years with great success. Each year approximately 400 students take a mandatory quantitative methods module which they must pass in order to obtain their degrees. The spreadsheet programs written for this project serve to develop the students’ spreadsheet skills as well as easing the burden of teaching them and marking their assignments.
