Program delivery and structure
Approach to learning and assessmentWork integrated learningProgram structureApproach to learning and assessment
The program is designed to be a flexible program of study underpinned by an online student learning management platform that can be accessed anywhere, anytime throughout the semester. The MBA can be undertaken part-time or full-time. There will be opportunities for intensive learning, and students have the opportunity to undertake an international study tour. Lecturers will utilise a range of teaching and learning methodologies. The pedagogical approach is teacher- centred and student-centred which is well suited to the learning styles of recent graduates (see Joyce, B., M. Weil & E. Calhoun [2004] Models of Teaching, 7th ed., Boston: Allyn & Bacon). Particular attention will be paid to presenting content in ways that expose students to the world of work, particularly content that covers the principles and practices related to the management and organization of work and workplaces. Solving business problems with a business design thinking problem-solving approach is incorporated throughout the program.
A variety of methodologies will be used, including the formal dissemination of content, audio-visual presentations, presentations by industry professionals, computer simulations and other complimentary approaches, which provide opportunities for the student to link the course’s content and skill development requirements with the management and organization of work and workplaces.
Through issue-based seminars, case study analyses, simulations, student presentations, student-based topic investigations, and class discussions led by the lecturer, students will gain an understanding of the nature of the business constructs as they impact on the regulatory environment, business operations, organisational processes, and performance.
Assessment
The assessment philosophy utilises a range of appropriate measures linked to the program and course outcomes. Assessment tasks include: business plan/reports, academic essays, in-class and online presentations, blogs, group reports, examinations and computer simulations.
A critical feature of all assessment tasks is the requirement to link rigorous academic literature with the students work experience. Reflective practice is encouraged to apply new knowledge and insights towards effective and professional business practices.
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.
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.
Academic integrity
The originality verification software Turnitin (see http://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: http://mams.rmit.edu.au/rbkf8knmzbla1.doc. Specifically, support resources for yourself as a student to ensure that your submitted assessment accurately represents your work are provided at: http://www.rmit.edu.au/academicintegrity/students
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.
Work-integrated Learning (WIL), or the application of theoretical learning to a workplace or a simulated work environment is an essential part of this program. You will have the opportunity to directly apply your academic knowledge and skills to a work context project within the course Applied Industry Practice. Practical application of theoretical concepts will be achieved through activities such as case studies and assignments. Opportunities will also exist in other courses to further expand your practical application of theoretical concepts, through activities such as case studies, presentations, computer simulations and assignments.
