Approach to learning and assessment

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 they are designed to develop. The major styles of teaching, learning and assessment you will experience throughout your program will include:

Classroom teaching and flexible delivery:  The teaching and learning approach in the program is based on lectures and tutorials; these are in mixed mode supplemented by course specific information on MyRMIT. MyRMIT provides access to teaching materials (e.g. PowerPoint presentations, podcasts, recordings of lectures), links to readings, and communication resources (e.g. discussion boards, wikis and blogs).

Problem-Based Learning: Problem-based learning engages you in analytical thinking, research and provision of solutions.

Cooperative learning: Enables you to work in collaborative or team-based tasks.

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 your findings and recommendations to a range of audiences.

Formal examinations: Will provide you with the opportunity to demonstrate your understanding and application of principles to either practical or theoretical issues.

Please note that 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 Equitable Learning Services (ELS) unit if you would like to find out more. Information about ELS can be found via the following link: https://www.rmit.edu.au/students/support-and-facilities/student-support/equitable-learning-service

Assessment
Depending on the courses that you select, your progress will be assessed by a combination of group and individual assignments and examination.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 a given area. A variety of assessment tasks are incorporated that include both formative and cumulative tasks, including group work for enhancing team skills and oral and visual presentations for training and communication skills. There is an emphasis on action learning, case study, research projects, report writing and collaborative work integrated with WIL activities.
