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.

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.

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.
As a reminder, you need to identify one significant idea or concept. Including
multiple ideas or concepts results in a lower mark.
Your answer must include each of the three steps, Please organize these steps
either in an ordered or unordered list for clarity.
