Approach to learning and assessment

The learning experiences offered in this program are designed to develop your knowledge and skills in the field of energy efficient and sustainable building. This program uses a variety of teaching approaches including lectures, tutorials, lectorials and residential workshops and intensives, in conjunction with project work and team based activities to ensure authentic learning experiences.

The program integrates face to face learning environments and online delivery, supported by a range of e-resources. You will engage in diverse learning activities with a focus on student centred learning including individual and small group work, case study analyses, face to face and online discussions, peer to peer presentations and work simulated scenarios. Your learning will be informed by current and emerging research into this field, both local and global.

Assessment is designed to provide opportunities for you to demonstrate your capabilities. You will find that the forms of assessment used may be different for each course depending on the course objectives and learning outcomes.

Assessment involves 'learning by doing' and will include a range of activities such as report writing, presentations, peer or industry review. Presentations will be directly related to industry specific needs and may involve making contact with industry practitioners regarding contemporary issues.

Ongoing feedback will be provided by your lecturers and your peers to enhance your learning as you continue to refine your capabilities for your future professional practice and/or further study after graduation.

Details of assessment for each course are provided in course guides. Assessment will include

  • case studies
  • project reports
  • assignments
  • presentations

If you have a long term medical condition and/or disability it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the program coordinator or the Equitable Learning Services (ELS).

If you have already developed areas of skill and knowledge included in this program (for example, through prior studies or work experience), you can apply for credit once you have enrolled in this program. There is information on the RMIT University website about how to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) http://www.rmit.edu.au/students/enrolment/credit/he
