Approach to learning and assessment

Your learning experiences will contain a broad mix of study modes, including lectures, seminars, tutorials, and laboratory classes, using face-to-face, on-line and other flexible delivery mechanisms. 

Assessment is designed to give you opportunities to demonstrate your capabilities. You will find that the forms of assessment used may be different for each course, as the assessment you receive must be appropriate to the objectives of each course. 

Your assessment in this program will include all or some of the following:

• Examinations: an individual form of assessment where you are asked to demonstrate your ability to explain principles and to solve problems;
• Assignments and projects: some will require you to demonstrate an ability to work alone, while some will involve group work requiring you to be part of team with other students;
• Reflective journals: where you pause to consider what you have learnt and reflect on the further development of the related capability;
• Assessed tutorials or presentations: a form of in-class test, which you will be required to complete either individually or as a team:
• Self-assessment and peer-assessment: for assessment activities such as seminars you may be asked to assess your own work, the work of your group, or the work of other groups.  This is part of equipping you to become more independent in your own learning and to develop your assessment skills.

The assessment you receive, with the exception of exams, will enable the teaching staff to provide you with feedback on your strong and weak points.  This will enable you to improve your performance in the future.

Work integrated learning

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

• undertake and be assessed on a structured activity that allows you to learn, apply and  demonstrate your professional 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 courses that focus on work integrated learning (WIL).  You will be assessed on professional work in a work place setting (real or simulated) and receive feedback from those involved in the IT industry.

The Year 1 core course Software Engineering Fundamentals and the Year 2 core course Professional Computing Practice simulate realistic work situations where you will have the opportunity to learn, apply and demonstrate professional software engineering and computing practice.

• In ISYS2089 Software Engineering Fundamentals you will work in a team on a software engineering project, interacting with a real or simulated client.  The project will require the team to work together to achieve a design and produce appropriate design documents.  You may be expected to take more than one role in the team at different times to expand your experience and capabilities.
• In COSC2130 Professional Computing Practice classes will present scenarios of ethical and legal issues in the ICT industry, for you to discuss, debate, act and reflect upon; you will submit written analyses and reports on some of these.

The Information Technology electives COSC2438 Programming Project 1, COSC2439  Programming Project 2, COSC2223 Programming Project 3, COSC2441 Web/Internet Project 1 and COSC2448 Web/Internet Project 2 provide opportunities for you to undertake the analysis, design and implementation of complete software/Web applications that satisfy the requirements of a real or simulated client.

Program transition plan

At the point of transition from BP162APVI Bachelor of IT (Application Programming), to BP162OPVI Bachelor of IT program plan, the following transition rules will apply.

1. Retained Credit: All credit points successfully completed in the original BP162 program plan will count towards completion of this program plan. As such, you are NOT required to do more than 288 credit points to complete the program.

2. New Core Courses:

If you have completed 96 credit points or less, you are required to do the following new core courses: COSC2652 User-centred Design, COSC2634 Building IT systems, ISYS2101 SE Project Management.
If you have completed between 96 and 192 credit points, you are required to do the following new core course: ISYS2101 SE Project Management.
If you have completed more than 192 credit points, you will need to consult the Program Manager to determine what courses you need to take to graduate.

3. Courses no longer offered as core: The following courses are no longer considered as core courses: Mathematics for Computing, Programming 2. If you have already completed these courses, they are considered as Information Technology Electives. If you have completed more than 2 IT electives, please consult the Program Manager.

4. Equivalent New Core and Elective Courses

As outlined in the table below, some of the previous core and elective courses have new course titles, or substituted with new courses. If you have already completed any of the courses in the left column of the following table, then you will receive credit for the corresponding new course and you must not undertake the corresponding new course.
