Over the duration of your program, you will experience a variety of approaches to teaching and learning. The approaches used in each course will be appropriate to the core curriculum areas which are designed to assist you in developing skills as an independent and lifelong learner. The program will achieve these learning and professional outcomes through the consistent and extensive use of courseware that has been designed with your needs as its central plank.
The major styles of teaching and learning throughout your program will include, but are not limited to the following:
Classroom teaching: This utilises a range of teaching and learning techniques including lectures, guest lectures by practitioners, class presentations, group discussion and student-led discussion. This style of learning is designed to maximise your understanding of the curriculum content and skills. It is designed to provide an environment where you can ask questions and seek feedback as well as contribute to class discussion with your peers.
Problem-based learning: You may be in a small teams, or work individually to apply knowledge and skills covered in this program to solve problems and examine case studies. This technique is designed to simulate the experiences you will encounter working as a as a professional in industry.
Assignments and projects: These may be either research or problem based, and may be undertaken in teams or individually. They will provide you with experience at undertaking research and reasoning and effectively present your findings and advice to a range of audiences. You may also be required to provide oral presentations.
