Approach to learning and assessment

Your learning in this program will be facilitated via a range of in-class and online activities that will require both individual and collaborative engagement. Class activities promote your ability to enquire, investigate, analyse and solve textile forensic science problems.

There are three distinct approaches to learning and teaching:

Flexible learning strategies: a range of online and interactive learning and teaching strategies that allow you to question, discuss and self-direct your own learning are provided, including flipped classroom learning.

Action learning: small groups or teams will work together to complete an assigned project. Action learning will allow you to collect, analyse data and make decisions on a specific issue with your group that may simulate a workplace experience.

Projects (assignments): case study scenarios, specific problems, real-world applications of theory in practice, business simulations and research will form the basis of projects. This will be an opportunity for you to research and analyse an issue and apply the knowledge and skills you have been developing.

The details of assessment in each course are listed within the Course Guides. Ongoing assessment throughout the semester may include:

  • Laboratory reports
  • Oral presentations
  • Group projects
  • Research projects
  • Practical assignments

The assessment you undertake will be designed so that your lecturer and/or peers can provide you with ongoing feedback on strengths and areas for improvement in your learning. This approach will enable you to improve on your performance during the program, as well as continue to refine capabilities for your future professional practice and learning after graduation.

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 Equitable Learning Services if you would like to find out more.
