Approach to learning and assessment

You will enjoy a rich, diverse, theoretical and applied learning experience across the duration of the Bachelor of Science (Applied Mathematics and Statistics) program.

 

You will be provided with face-to-face lectures offering a variety of learning and teaching techniques. Tutorials or laboratory sessions will be used to explore theory covered in lectures and related application of mathematics and statistics. You will have the opportunity to interact with teaching staff, fellow students and tutors. The tutorial problems will cover key concepts to assist you in your understanding of theories and applications in mathematics. Computer labs will include the use of a variety of mathematics packages, including Matlab, to give you hands-on experience of technologies.

 

The teaching and learning methods used in this program aim to implement student-centred learning by recognising that your perceptions of the world are important and relevant and encouraging you to actively participate in your learning and to develop solutions in collaboration with your peers. Learning activities include practical exercises, case study analysis, oral presentations, technical and business reports, and individual and group project work.

 

Work Integrated Learning forms a crucial part of the learning experience, with industry representatives overseeing projects, interviews and presentations of your work. In this way you will be provided with both an insight into mathematics and statistics in industry and feedback from these experts. Learning opportunities will be supported by web-based learning activities.

 

Assessment activities vary across the courses offered. Assessment is undertaken throughout the semester in many forms, including written assignments, tutorials, examinations, case studies and presentations. The assessment for each course will gauge whether the learning outcomes and capabilities expected from the course have been achieved at the required level.

 

Course materials (printed course notes, textbooks and reference books) will be available from the RMIT Campus Store; the RMIT Library, which has copies of the books and also provides online access to electronic books and journals; course web pages, which contain links that let you download worksheets and assignment specifications. You can also email teaching staff for assistance, and access message forums as well as links to external course-related web sites.

 

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 Service (ELS) www.rmit.edu.au/equitable 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 credit - 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.

 

The designated WIL courses for this program are:

 

  • MATH2196 Industrial Applications of Mathematics and Statistics 1, and
  • MATH2197 Industrial Applications of Mathematics and Statistics 2

 

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. Each student can expect interaction with and feedback from industry.

 

There will be regular industry seminars and activities to further engage you with industry and enable you to be work-ready.
