Approach to learning and assessment

Over the duration of your program you will experience a variety of approaches to teaching and learning. The approaches used in each course will be appropriate to the core curriculum areas and graduate outcomes it is designed to develop, and to assist you in developing skills as an independent and life-long learner. It is important for you to note that you will be treated as an ‘adult learner’. This means you are expected to take responsibility for your own learning in a mature and independent way. Your interests and the value of this program to your future career prospects are enhanced by your engagement in learning activities.

The major styles of teaching, learning and assessment you will experience throughout your program will include:

Online learning:  The online program provides real-time engagement and self-directed study. Innovative contents using video, audio, simulation and practical exercises are presented to suit all learners and to keep the experience engaging and dynamic. Communication tools are used for discussion and collaborative work.
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 on authentic task, 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.
In-class tests:  Provide you with feedback on your early understanding within a course and allow feedback to assist you in further developing your skills and abilities.
Formal examinations:  Will provide you with the opportunity to demonstrate your understanding and application of HRM principles to either practical or theoretical issues.
Assessment
Depending on courses selected, student progress is assessed by a combination of group and individual assignments and examination. 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.

Please note that if you have a long-term medical condition, disability and/or other form of disadvantage we can support you by making adjustments to activities in your program so that you can participate fully in your studies. To receive learning adjustments, you need to register with Equitable Learning Service: www.rmit.edu.au/students/support-and-facilities/student-support/equitable-learning-services.

The University considers the wellbeing and safety of all students, staff and the community to be a priority in on-campus/online learning and professional experience settings.
