Program delivery and structure
Approach to learning and assessmentWork integrated learningProgram structureProgram transition planApproach to learning and assessment
Over the duration of the program you will experience a variety of teaching and learning approaches. The approaches used in each course will be appropriate to the learning outcomes and core capabilities they are designed to develop. The assessment you must complete is designed to provide opportunities to demonstrate the extent to which you have developed your capabilities and achieved specific learning outcomes in a given area. Methods of assessment will also vary with the learning outcomes and core capabilities of the relevant course.
The major styles of teaching, learning and assessment you will experience throughout your program may include:
Classroom teaching: May include lectures, guest lectures, panels, tutorials, class presentations, group discussions, student-led discussions, role-plays, etc. This style of learning is designed to maximise your understanding of the curriculum content and develop appropriate skills. It is designed to provide an environment where you can ask questions and seek feedback as well as contribute to class discussion and apply theory to practice.
Problem-based learning: You may work in a team or individually to conduct research, solve problems, analyse and respond to case studies, prepare or respond to briefs, write original research or case study reports, or participate in managing a company in a computer-based business simulation. This technique is designed to simulate the experiences you will encounter working in marketing.
Flexible delivery: The program will incorporate extensive use of online resources. These may include learning resources such as lecture notes, and assessment and feedback tools such as discussion boards and quizzes.
Assignments and projects: These may be either research or problem based, and may be undertaken in teams or individually. They will provide you with experience at undertaking research and writing effectively to present findings and recommendations to a range of audiences. Assignments and projects are also designed to develop abilities in communications, research and reasoning, and provide a way to receive feedback on skills development. By utilising this feedback to improve skills and further develop capabilities in relevant areas you will develop as a life-long learner.
In-class tests: Provide you with feedback on your early understanding within a course and allow feedback to assist in further developing skills and abilities.
Formal examinations: Will provide you with the opportunity to demonstrate understanding and application of business principles to either practical or theoretical issues.
Academic integrity
The originality verification software Turnitin (see http://www.turnitin.com), may be used on assessments in the program.
You must complete the RMIT Assessment Coversheet with assessment submissions.
To support you with issues associated with honesty and the appropriate referencing of external work presented in assignments, please visit the University website for Academic Integrity: http://www.rmit.edu.au/academicintegrity.
