	~~The analysis~~ of ~~the previous~~ simulation runs ~~has shown~~, that trainees who ~~have~~ not ~~performed~~ project ~~planning~~ achieved worse results than trainees who planned the ~~project before a~~ simulation run.		Analysis of existing simulation runs showed, that trainees who did not plan their project in advance achieved worse results than trainees who carefully planned the projects prior to the simulation run.



	====Project Planning====		====Project Planning====
	{{Box1\|Therefore the project should be planned before executing a simulation run. The project ~~design is intended to~~ include the sequence of ~~actions~~ to be ~~undertaken~~ in the project ~~and include~~ an appropriate ~~workforce planning~~.}}		{{Box1\|Therefore, the project should be planned '''before''' executing a simulation run. The project plan should include the sequence of activities to be performed in the project as well as an appropriate staff assignment plan.}}

	However, ~~a careful~~ planning ~~of the project~~ is only possible after starting a simulation run, because ~~from~~ this point on trainees ~~get~~ relevant information (costs, employee skills) about the ~~simulation run~~. The AMEISE ~~- System~~ provides also support information, that is available to trainees only after activities, which means that the student has to ~~finish his work~~ before getting a feedback ~~from~~ the support tools.		However, detailed project planning is only possible '''after''' starting a simulation run, because this is the point when the trainees receives all the relevant information (costs, employee skills) about the project at hand. The AMEISE system provides also support information, that is available to trainees only after activities, which means that the student has to have performed a task before getting a feedback by the support tools.

	Thereby, errors cannot be avoided, but trainees ~~are~~ alerted to mistakes and can learn from it. The support to ~~the~~ trainees is not to ~~guide a~~ perfect ~~practice~~, but to give clues, ~~which are leading to an improvement of~~ the current situation.		Thereby, errors cannot be avoided, but trainees can be alerted to mistakes and can learn from these. The support to trainees is not to prescribe perfect procedures, but to give clues, activities could improve the current situation.

	~~The analysis~~ of SESAM/AMEISE - simulation runs ~~has shown~~ that the following mistakes were committed frequently:		Analysis of SESAM/AMEISE - simulation runs showed, that the following mistakes were committed rather frequently:

	* '''~~Employee Utilization~~'''		* '''Workload'''
	** Occupying their employees constantly, is a great problem for most students. Therefore, employees are often without an activity over a long period of time, but still earning money.		** Occupying their employees constantly is a great problem for most students.

	* '''~~Checking -~~ and corrective actions are missing or only partially carried out'''		* '''Reviewing/testing and corrective actions are missing or are only partially carried out'''
	** ~~Trainees~~ forget about the necessary checking- and corrective actions of individual phases ~~during the simulation run~~. This leads to bad results.		** During the simulation run trainees forget about the necessary checking- and corrective actions of individual phases. This leads to bad simulation results.

	The advisor is a '''passive''' support tool and has to be ~~questioned~~ by the trainee.

Therefore, the advisor component assumes the role of the instructor and answers predefined questions during a simulation run. The friendly peer is an '''active''' support tool and tells the trainee if a difficult situation occurs. The friendly peer assumes the role of an experienced colleague who observes the trainee in order to react in case of dangerous situations.
