Approach to learning and assessment

This program is primarily delivered in a blended mode, which includes a combination of online, self-directed and some face-to-face activities, at the City Campus and is likely to include lectures, tutorials, workshops and labs.

The program has been designed to broaden your thinking by enabling you to have maximum interaction opportunity with your lecturers as well as your fellow classmates.  Your learning experiences will contain a mix of study modes, including lectures, presentation seminars, tutorials and written assignments.  Lectures and tutorials are typically delivered in the evenings throughout each semester with occasional weekend workshops.  Active engagement in class discussions is strongly encouraged, along with small-group based activities.  Outside of class times you will be able to communicate with the lecturer on-line, and receive learning materials from RMIT’s learning management system.

Assessment is designed to give you opportunities to demonstrate your capabilities.  Assessment is primarily based upon written assignments which test the knowledge and application of key issues e.g. human resource management issues, management of technological innovation.  The assignments and coursework are done either individually or in teams, depending on the nature of particular assignments.  You will find that the forms of assessment used may be different for each course, as the assessment you receive must be appropriate to the objectives of each course. 

The assessment you receive is critical to the success of your program, and to your future success in the workplace.  The Graduate Capabilities designed into your program (a pre-requisite for your success) are satisfied only if the Learning Outcomes specified for each course are known to have been satisfied.

Assessment in this program may include:

• Assignments and projects: these may be done individually or in groups.  This method may also enable you to demonstrate your ability to work alone or as a member of a team;
• Reflective journals: where you pause to consider what you have learnt, along with reflecting on the development associated with that learning;
• Assessed tutorials or presentations: a form of in-class test, which may be done individually or as a team:
• Self-assessment and peer-assessment: for assessment activities such as seminars you may be asked to assess yourself or your own group; or assess the work of other groups.  This is part of equipping you to become more independent in your own learning and assessing your own and others’ performance.

Most of the assessment you receive will enable your lecturer to provide you with feedback on your strong and weak points.  This will enable you to improve your performance in the future.

If you have a disability, long-term illness and/or mental health condition or are the primary carer of individuals with a disability it is possible to have adjustments arranged and negotiated to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the Program Manager or the Equitable Learning Services if you would like to find out more.
