I work in grant management...there are selection criteria...you get money if you get them right...but alas alack none of them read the guidelines; none of them follow the instructions and few of them address the selection criteria. Fine for individuals applying for a few thousand $...but when it is an organisation applying for $200,000 I despair!
That being said I am doing a Masters in Project Management by correspondence...and my essay topics have been universally garbled. It’s hard if you are the sort of person who has learnt after 8 years in tertiary education to analyse the question first! My worst was a 2000 word essay in which the lecturer attempted to spoon feed the students so much the task became impossible. Instead of three sections asking for analysis which would have got far more interesting and meaty discussion, he set three sections and a total of 20 questions all were discuss-types. Which is ridiculous, what can be discussed in a 100 words you can’t even present both sides of the argument never mind formulate an opinion in 100 words –it was less an essay and more a series of text messages!
