Approach to learning and assessment

The Bachelor of Science (Dean's Scholar, Analytics) (Honours) program is offered through a flexible combination of lectures, tutorials/practice classes and computer laboratory classes. In addition, there will be opportunities for you to participate in teamwork on projects (including delivery of written reports, posters and oral presentations) and be engaged in consulting activities. This program is designed to offer you rich and diverse learning experiences with a careful balance between theory and practice. Your studies in this program will be underpinned by the use of industry standard software tools/packages such as Excel, MatLab, R and SAS, and the opportunity to use and apply these tools to a range of practical problems and situations.

The assessment in the program will provide you with feedback on your performance and the degree to which you have achieved the learning outcomes and capabilities associated with each course. The type of assessment will vary and include examinations, tests, written assignments, oral presentations and laboratory practicals. In addition, assessment activities will be progressively scheduled throughout each course and include feedback that does not count toward your final grade (e.g. tutorial quiz), as well as assessment activities that will count toward your final grade.

The following are details of learning activities contained in the program:

• Primarily, you will be learning face-to-face with the lecturers delivering course and other relevant materials. Online materials can be accessed through an online system called Canvas. The lecturers will elucidate course materials through explanation of key concepts. This will be further illustrated with demonstrations and examples.
• Assessment will test your understanding of course materials. Provision for this will include written assignments and/or project works and written examinations.
• Tutorials and practice classes will provide you with extra assistance if you encounter difficulties. Content of the tutorials/practice classes will also enhance problem-solving skills.
• Group participation through discussions and seminar presentations will encourage teamwork.
• Consulting project works will provide practice in the application of theory, through analysis of real data.
• You are encouraged to seek learning materials from other sources such as libraries and the internet.
• State-of-the-art statistical and operations research software used in the program will provide you with hands-on-experience required for a statistical analysis of data.

If you have a long-term medical condition, disability and/or other form of disadvantage, it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the program coordinator or the Equitable Learning Services if you would like to find out more.

If you have already developed areas of skill and knowledge included in this program (for example, through prior studies or work experience), you can apply for credit once you have enrolled in this program. There is information on the RMIT University website about how to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) – refer to: www.rmit.edu.au/students/enrolment/credit/he

Work integrated learning

RMIT University is committed to providing you with an education that strongly links formal learning with workplace experience. As a student enrolled in an RMIT program you will:

• undertake and be assessed on a structured activity that allows you to learn, apply and demonstrate your professional or vocational practice
• interact with industry and community when undertaking this activity
• complete an activity in a work context or situation that may include teamwork with other students from different disciplines
• underpin your learning with feedback from interactions and contexts distinctive to workplace experiences

In this program, you will be doing specific course(s) that focus on Work Integrated Learning (WIL). You will be assessed on professional or vocational work in a workplace setting (real or simulated) and receive feedback from those involved in your industry.

Work Integrated Learning (WIL) courses include:

In year two of the program, you will also carry out a research-oriented activity mentored by a research active scientist in ONPS1664 Science Mentored Research Project 1. In year three, you will undertake MATH2302 Analytics in Industry 1 and a second research-oriented activity mentored by a research active scientist in ONPS1665 Science Mentored Research Project 2.

In year four of the program, you will carry out a major research project in the four Science Honours Project courses (ONPS2663 Science Honours Project 1, ONPS2452 Science Honours Project 2, ONPS2454 Science Honours Project 3 and ONPS2456 Science Honours Project 4). In these courses you will work individually under the guidance of a research active scientist.

Completion of WIL courses within this program will involve liaising with industry to define/create the problem; analysing and creating a report; and presenting and receiving feedback from industry partners.

Program Structure

Please note that some courses listed in this structure will have their course marks count toward your program's weighted average mark. Your weighted average mark will determine the honours level of your award once you have completed the program. If a course counts toward your weighted average mark, that fact will be stated in its course guide. In Enrolment Online, after you completed your course enrolment, you will be notified which of the enrolled courses will count toward the weighted average mark.
