Approach to learning and assessment

Throughout the Bachelor of Business (Entrepreneurship) program you will experience a variety of teaching and learning approaches. These approaches reflect the unique aims of each course to achieve the learning outcomes. Your interests and the value of this program to your future career prospects are enhanced by your active engagement in learning activities and taking responsibility for your own learning.

A range of teaching approaches is used in addition to lectures and tutorials, including practical projects, self-managed learning activities, and work integrated learning. The objective is to encourage flexible and independent learning, and to assist you in developing an understanding of theory and concepts, and the application of these in real situations.

Class presentations and group assignments are used extensively to develop personal qualities including critical thinking and resourcefulness, and to extend professional skills to enable you to work effectively in a team and to perform under pressure.

Assessment in the Bachelor of Business (Entpreneurship) is designed to give you an opportunity to demonstrate the application of your learning. Various forms of assessment will be used throughout the program that are appropriate to the learning outcomes for each course. Successfully completing the assessment tasks ensures prospective employers of having achieveed the learning outcomes required for this program.

Assessment may include:

Formal examinations: that will provide you with an opportunity to demonstrate your understanding and application of fundamental principles to either practical or theoretical issues;

Assignments and projects: that may be completed individually or in teams. These will provide you with opportunities to develop your abilities in communication, research and analysis, and problem solving;

Research projects: which assess ability to assimilate, critical analyse and reflect on information as well as written communication skills;

In-class tests: provide you with timely feedback on your understanding of course content and allow feedback to assist you in further developing your skills and knowledge during the semester;

Formal presentations: enable the development of verbal communication skills, and organisational abilities;

Reflective papers: where you reflect on what you have learnt and the methods utilised to enhance learning.

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 (ELS) if you would like to find out more www.rmit.edu.au/students/support-and-facilities/student-support/equitable-learning-services.

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) www.rmit.edu.au/students/enrolment/credit/he.
