Reviews

“Owning Your Project-Based Learning is a book that will help students to have a successful experience creating a major academic project. Its step-by-step flexible approach offers management systems for taking an initial idea from inception through development, research, and testing to completion. Students critically examine the factors contributing to real world problems as well as how to best address the needs of stakeholders. By learning design principles and rhetorical strategies, students craft proposals and develop digital presentation skills. The text includes several examples of how other students solved problems while working with teams, community partners, or prototype users. Effective design, writing, and presentation skills are valuable for professionals in any field.” —Nancy J. Mack, Professor of English at Wright State University, USA, and author of Engaging Writers with Multigenre Research Projects: A Teacher's Guide
