My experience which was not Makerere is that the project superviser with the student set project milestones which were mearsured over the year. This meant that if you did the project in the last month you actually failed since a big chunk of the project was to do with the ability to project manage. Since the outcome of the project rarely goes beyond the report and presentation, the skill we employers tend to be looking for is the ability for the student to originate and idea but also manage the time so as to deliver the project on time. >But I've found that the propensity to do nada among students is a bit >too high to be explained just by the lack of time. Maybe we need to make sure that students are not actually just passing time at uni but have an interesting. Some kind of career guidance might be helpful to motivate the students.
