Approach to learning and assessment

The program is designed to be a flexible program of study underpinned by an online student learning management platform that can be accessed anywhere, anytime throughout the semester. The Graduate Certificate in Business Administration  can be undertaken part-time or full-time. Lecturers will utilise a range of teaching and learning methodologies.  The pedagogical approach is teacher- centred and student-centred which is well suited to the learning styles of recent graduates (see Joyce, B., M. Weil & E. Calhoun [2004] Models of Teaching, 7th ed., Boston: Allyn & Bacon). Particular attention will be paid to presenting content in ways that expose you to the world of work, particularly content that covers the principles and practices related to the management and organization of work and workplaces. Solving business problems with a business design thinking problem-solving approach is incorporated throughout the program.

A variety of methodologies will be used, including the formal dissemination of content, audio-visual presentations, presentations by industry professionals, computer simulations and other complimentary approaches, which provide opportunities for you to link the course’s content and skill development requirements with the management and organization of work and workplaces.

Through issue-based seminars, case study analyses, simulations, student presentations, student-based topic investigations, and class discussions led by the lecturer, you will gain an understanding of the nature of the business constructs as they impact on the regulatory environment, business operations, organisational processes, and performance.

Assessment
The assessment philosophy utilises a range of appropriate measures linked to the program and course outcomes. Assessment tasks include: business plan/reports, academic essays, in-class and online presentations, blogs, group reports, examinations and computer simulations.

A critical feature of all assessment tasks is the requirement to link rigorous academic literature with your work experience. Reflective practice is encouraged to apply new knowledge and insights towards effective and professional business practices.

Depending on courses selected, your progress is assessed by a combination of group and individual assignments and examination. Over the duration of your 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 you with opportunities to demonstrate the extent to which you have achieved specific learning outcomes in a given area. Methods of assessment will also vary with the learning outcomes of the relevant course that may include case studies, research projects and reports.

If you have a long term medical condition, disability and/or other form of disadvantage it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the program coordinator or the Disability Resource Centre if you would like to find out more: https://online.rmit.edu.vn/disability-services-student
