Dear all, if you're looking for an important skills class, I'm following up on a Bates Center recommendation for the below.
If you wonder how project management might be relevant, well, I asked the instructor that question directly! She suggests the following to students: "Don't you plan to graduate: isn't that a project?" The point is that all kinds of things we do are projects, and of course we want to be successful, but project management is a skill you can learn.

Below are some details, plus my notes from instructor interview...Jim
