Approach to learning and assessment

Courses are focused on encouraging team activities. All assessment takes a work integrated approach as all assignments are focused on employment-based situations and problems needing analysis and resolution. Because of the global nature of the aviation industry, an international context is emphasised through all courseware and learning activities in specialist discipline option courses, devised in large part by internationally recognised and practising aviation experts.

Part of the philosophy of all postgraduate aviation programs at RMIT is that reflection is a process improvement tool. Therefore it is a mandatory requirement that you think about what you have done, why it worked or did not work and what you would do differently in the future to improve the effectiveness of the outcomes. Team assessment is required and you are encouraged to explore the resources of the team for problem solving and addressing issues prior to seeking the guidance or assistance of an academic staff member.

Furthermore, you will engage in activities such as personal style self assessment exercises, literature analysis and case study analyses, and have exposure to industry speakers and site visits.

Assessment is active, practical, workplace related, and can include:

Individual and group assignments and projects;
Individual and group presentations;
Research-based (focused on real workplace problems) papers and assignments; and
Reflective writing

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

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 in a simulated workplace learning environment.

Work integrated learning has been incorporated into the following compulsory (core) course in the first year of the program:

AERO2304 Aviation Strategy and Resource Management

In this course you will work in teams on tasks requiring analysis of a workplace. You can draw on a project relating to your work, or you can be involved in a project in which partner organisations are involved in the design of the simulated workplace environment and/or provide feedback during projects.
