Approach to learning and assessment

During the program you will experience a variety of teaching and learning approaches in the courses you undertake. 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 engagement in learning activities and taking responsibility for your own learning. A range of teaching approaches is used in addition to lectures. These include methods such as:

• Case-based learning engages you in critical thinking and decision making about realistic problems in a business discipline
• Project based learning engage you in design, problem solving, decision making, and investigative activities
• Problem-based learning engages you in problem analysis, research and provision of solutions
• Cooperative learning enables you to work in collaborative or team-based tasks
• Critical thinking learning enables you to evaluate contemporary management  perspectives and practices.

The objective is to encourage flexible and independent learning and to develop not only your understanding of theory and concepts, but also your ability to readily apply them.

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

Assessment in the Bachelor of Business (Management) is designed to give you the opportunity to demonstrate your capabilities. You will find that various forms of assessment will be used throughout the program, since the assessment you receive will be appropriate to the objectives and student learning outcomes for each course. Assessment in this program may include:

• Formal examinations: to provide you with the opportunity to demonstrate your understanding and application of fundamental principles to either practical or theoretical issues
• Assignments and projects: may be completed individually or in teams. They will provide you with opportunities to develop your abilities in communication, research and analysis, and problem solving
• Research projects: which assess your ability to assimilate, analyse, critically reflect on information and your written communication skills
• In-class tests: to provide you with timely feedback on your understanding within a course and allow feedback to assist you in further developing your skills and capabilities during the semester
• Formal presentations: enable the development of verbal communication skills and organisational abilities.

Please note that 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 Equitable Learning Services (ELS) unit if you would like to find out more. Information about ELS can be found via the following link: 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.
