Approach to learning and assessmentWork integrated learningProgram structureProgram transition planApproach 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 and core capabilities they are designed to develop.
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.
Methods of assessment will also vary with the learning outcomes and core capabilities of the relevant course. The major styles of teaching, learning and assessment you will experience throughout your program will include:
Classroom teaching: May include lectures, class presentations, group discussions, student-led discussions etc. This style of learning is designed to maximise your understanding of the curriculum content and develop appropriate skills. It is designed to provide an environment where you can ask questions and seek feedback as well as contribute to class discussion and apply theory to practice.
Flexible delivery: The program may incorporate use of online resources. These may include learning resources such as lecture notes, and assessment and feedback tools such as discussion boards.
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.
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.
Assessment
Depending on courses selected, student progress is assessed by a combination of group and individual assignments and examination. 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 and core capabilities they are designed to develop.
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. Methods of assessment will also vary with the learning outcomes and core capabilities of the relevant course but may include case studies, research projects and reports.
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). This program is also offered online to give MIM students the ability to study in a mixed mode or wholly online.
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 and collaborative work integrated with WIL activities.
Academic integrity
The originality verification software Turnitin (see www.turnitin.com), may be used on assessments in your program.
Note you must complete a hardcopy of the RMIT coversheet with your assessment submissions: www.rmit.edu.au/students/my-course/assessment-results/assessment. Specifically, support resources for yourself as a student to ensure that your submitted assessment accurately represents your work are provided at: www.rmit.edu.au/students/my-course/assessment-results/academic-integrity.
Top of pageWork 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; and
- be provided with distinctive sources of feedback to assist your learning.
Any or all of these aspects of a WIL experience may be simulated.
You will be provided with opportunities to apply your academic skills to a work-based context in the core course The Professional Experience. In other courses, the practical application of theoretical concepts will be achieved through activities such as case studies, projects and assignments.
