Approach to learning and assessment

Several courses in the program are delivered online, rather than on-campus, and you are likely to find that other courses transition to online delivery as you progress through the program.

A number of teaching and learning approaches are used within this program to develop your capabilities. The approaches used in each course will be appropriate to the core curriculum areas and capability dimensions which are designed to assist you in developing skills as an independent and lifelong learner. The program will achieve these learning and professional outcomes through the consistent and extensive use of updated courseware that has been designed with students’ needs as its central plank.

The major styles of teaching and learning you will experience throughout your program will include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Classroom teaching and/or online Blackboard Collaborate sessions: These sessions utilise a range of teaching and learning techniques including lectures, guest lectures by practitioners, class presentations, group discussion and student-led discussion. This style of learning is designed to maximise your understanding of the curriculum content and skills. It is designed to provide an environment where you can ask questions and seek feedback as well as contribute to class discussion with your peers. Classes may be offered in intensive mode over weekends or in week-long blocks. You are expected to be responsible for the completion of all out of class learning activities which may require extra reading of both library and online materials.
  • Laboratory: The engineering focused courses require practical experience in a controlled and safe environment. RMIT has a tradition to be practical and industry related. Laboratory classes are scheduled with smaller group size. During laboratory classes, you will be given instructions to operate equipment which will produce effects that can be verified by the theories taught in classroom teaching. Laboratory demonstrators will be present in the sessions to assist your learning process.
  • Problem-based learning: You may be in a small group or team, or work individually to apply knowledge to solve problems and examine case studies. This technique is designed to simulate the experiences you will encounter working as a logistics and supply chain practitioner.
  • 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 reasoning, to write effectively and to present your findings and advice to a range of audiences; and may also require you to provide oral presentations. Assignments and projects are also designed to provide a way to receive feedback on your skills development and be able to utilise this feedback to improve your skills and further develop your capabilities in the relevant area.

Assessment is ongoing throughout the semester and may include class tests, essays, reports, oral presentations, group projects, research projects, laboratory projects, practical assignments (for example design and build) or end of semester examinations.

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 Liaison Unit if you would like to find out more. To view the Assessment Policy go to: www.rmit.edu.au/browse;ID=det2rlnje0ay

Work integrated learning

RMIT University is committed to providing you with an education that strongly links formal learning with professional or vocational practice. As a student enrolled in this RMIT University program you will:

  • undertake and be assessed on structured activities that allow you to learn, apply and demonstrate your professional or vocational practice; 
  • interact with industry and community when undertaking these activities; 
  • complete these activities in real work contexts or situations.

These interactions and the work context provide a distinctive source of feedback to you to assist your learning. Any or all of these aspects of a WIL experience may be simulated.

In this program, you will be doing specific courses that focus on work integrated learning (WIL).

The AERO2307 "Airlines Operations Management" course provides realistic work situations in a simulated industry setting with operational constraints. You will be guided by an academic and/or a qualified aviation professional investigating and researching problems in aerospace & aviation design, analysis and operations.
