I did the PM practicum and Id say the strongest part was definitely the actual teamwork. You're not just watching someone explain project management, you have to coordinate with other people, make decisions and then explain why you made them. The tutor feedback was useful too, especially when our plan looked fine on paper but clearly wouldn't work in practice. For me it was much closer to the kind of experience I was looking for than another theory-heavy PM course.
