Approach to learning and assessment

Your learning will be facilitated via a range of in-class and online activities that will require both individual and collaborative engagement. Class activities promote your ability to enquire, investigate, analyse and solve fashion business problems. 

There are three distinctive approaches to learning and teaching: 

Flexible learning strategies: a range of online and interactive learning and teaching strategies that allow you to question, discuss and self-direct your own learning are provided, including flipped classroom learning. 

Action learning: small groups or teams will work together to complete an assigned project. Action learning will allow you to collect, analyse data and make decisions on a specific issue with your group that may simulate a workplace experience. 

Projects (assignments): case study scenarios, specific problems, real world applications of theory in practice, business simulations and research will form the basis of projects. This will be an opportunity for you to research and analyse an issue and apply the knowledge and skills you have been developing. 

Assessment throughout the program is an integral part of your learning experience. Feedback from assessment will give you the opportunity to reflect upon your capabilities and identify opportunities for further learning. 

The details of assessment in each course are listed within the Course Guides. Assessment will include: 

• Written Assignments 

• Projects 

• Presentations 

As part of final assessment moderation, a symposium is held each semester in which students present to external industry panels who provide formative feedback. Assessments are designed in accordance with Assessment and Assessment Flexibility Policy. 

Throughout this program you will undertake a range of embedded Career Development Learning and assessment activities aimed at enhancing your knowledge, capabilities and career awareness to prepare for and manage your career throughout your life. 

Industry Partnered Learning (IPL) 

This program includes a range of Industry Partnered Learning (IPL) activities, where you will have the opportunity to participate in authentic industry and community engaged activities and tasks to support your professional development and career planning. These IPL experiences may include Career Development Learning (CDL), Industry Embedded Activities (IEA) such as guest speakers and Work Integrated Learning (WIL) placement and project activities.

Work integrated learning

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

• undertake and be assessed on structured activities that allows you to learn, apply and demonstrate your professional or vocational practice 

• interact with industry and community when undertaking these activities 

• complete these activities in real work context or situations 

• be provided with distinctive sources of feedback to assist your learning 

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 workplace setting and receive feedback from those involved in your industry. Any or all of these aspects of a WIL experience may be in a simulated workplace learning environment. 

The specific WIL experience offered in the course is: BUSM4799 Fashion Enterprise Partnered Project. The integration of work-based learning and academic learning in this course will allow you to solve authentic workplace problems or address real issues faced in organisations. You can expect to receive industry feedback on your scholarly investigation for a professional context in the workplace.
