2. Indigenous Acknowledgment
Swinburne University of Technology recognises the historical and cultural significance of Australia’s Indigenous history and the role it plays in contemporary education
Each day in Australia we all walk on traditional Indigenous land
We therefore acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land we all currently occupy here at the Hawthorn campus, the Wurundjeri people, and pay respect to Elders past and present, including those from other clans who now reside on Wurundjeri land.

9. What is a GANTT chart?
A Gantt chart, commonly used in project management, is one of the most popular and useful ways of showing activities (tasks or events) displayed against time. On the left of the chart is a list of the activities and along the top is a suitable time scale. Each activity is represented by a bar; the position and length of the bar reflects the start date, duration and end date of the activity.
This allows you to see at a glance:
What the various activities are
When each activity begins and ends
How long each activity is scheduled to last
Where activities overlap with other activities, and by how much
The start and end date of the whole project
