Approach to learning and assessment

During the program you will experience a variety of teaching and learning approaches in the courses you undertake. In many cases, the approach reflects the unique aims of each course; specifically the knowledge capabilities and generic capabilities. As a student, you will be exposed to not only teaching but also learning. It is important for you to note that you will be treated as an ‘adult learner’. This means you are expected to take responsibility for your own learning in a mature and independent way.  Your interests and the value of this program to your future career prospects are enhanced by your engagement in learning activities.

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
    Reflective learning allows you to reflect on your learning experiences

The objective is to encourage flexible and independent learning and to develop students who not only understand the theory and concepts, but can also readily apply it.
Class presentations, group assignments are used extensively to develop personal qualities including clear thinking and resourcefulness and to extend their professional skills to enable them to work in a team and to perform under pressure.
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.  Successfully completing the assessment tasks ensures the professional accounting bodies and prospective employers of a level of achievement in the capabilities outlined in the program. Assessment in this program may include:

  • Formal examinations: which 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: 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;
  • Portfolios: enable you to report and reflect what you have learnt and to keep collection of a range of models, examples, articles and websites that you will take forward as a resource for your professional life.
