Approach to learning and assessment

Throughout this program, you will experience a variety of teaching and learning approaches. The major styles of teaching, learning and assessment reflect RMITs Active, Authentic and Applied signature pedagogy. You will experience the following throughout your program:

Classroom teaching: The program may include class presentations, group discussions, student-led discussions, guest lecturers from industry 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.

Flexible delivery: The program will incorporate use of online resources. These may include learning resources such as recordings and podcasts, industry-related resources and assessment and feedback tools such as discussion boards.

Problem-Based Learning: The program will incorporate problem-based learning, where it will engage in analytical thinking, research and provision of solutions.

Cooperative learning: The program enables you to work in collaborative or team-based tasks.

Assignments and projects: Assessment tasks in the program 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 your findings and recommendations to a range of audiences.

E-portfolio: The industry e-portfolio captures your journey throughout the program, where your class activities and assessment tasks will provide you with a series of artefacts to help you compile and curate a compelling professional identity.

Assessment

Depending on courses selected, student progress is assessed by a combination of group and individual assignments. The assessment you must complete is designed to provide you with opportunities to demonstrate the extent to which you have developed your capabilities and achieved specific learning outcomes in each area. Methods of assessment will also vary with the learning outcomes and core capabilities of the relevant course but may include case studies, research projects and reports.

Work integrated learning

RMIT University is committed to providing you with an education that strongly links formal learning with professional or vocational practice. As a student enrolled in this RMIT University program you will: 

• undertake and be assessed on structured activities that allow 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 contexts or situations; and 
• be provided with distinctive sources of feedback to assist your learning. 

Any or all of these aspects of a WIL experience may be simulated in a workplace environment.

The Bachelor of Commerce includes several courses that are ‘work integrated learning’ (WIL) courses. In these WIL courses, you will engage in activities that integrate theoretical learning with practical application in professional contexts and will engage you in meaningful and consequential learning activities. These courses involve you in interacting with organisations (industry, government and community) through discipline relevant projects and work placements. Many courses in the Bachelor of Commerce use guest lecturers from industry, government or the community and activities relating to industry as part of the learning experience.

Work integrated learning courses are included throughout the curriculum and clearly indicated as an integrated component of course choice. The WIL designated courses in the Bachelor of Commerce are:

• BUSM2726 Navigating Australian Commerce in the Digital Age (12 credit points)
• BUSM2727 Future of Commerce Project (12 credit points)

The Bachelor of Commerce allows you the flexibility of incorporating an optional business internship as part of your program. More information can be found on the College of Business and Law Undergraduate Business Internship page
