Construction cost management
The write–up of each incident will require you to pursue
further reading, ideally focusing on journal papers that report the results of research but ensuring that
the focus is on reflection rather than the technical context the incident. The following questions are offered as prompts to help you develop your account of each incident:
• What was interesting about the incident you have chosen? Was there anything surprising or new to you that caught your attention?
• What was it about the concept you chose that made you decide to choose it?
• Are there any particular aspects of this concept that you feel you did not fully understand? Are there any aspects of the incident that seemed unusual?
• How does your observation serve as an example of the application of the concept in a real–world setting?
This could relate to construction work, to academic work, or to anything else that you come across while studying, as long as it relates to a concept that has been introduced in one of your modules.
• Can you demonstrate a connection between your learning and a recognized professional skills framework? (For example, make sure that you include discussion around the requirements of
the professional institution most relevant to your career plans.)
• Give examples of how you think your learning around this issue might influence the way you carry out your future professional work.
