Program delivery and structure
Approach to learning and assessmentWork integrated learningProgram structureApproach to learning and assessment
You will experience a wide range of learning environments – online lecture and tutorial delivery, individual and group work. Of particular importance is the proportion of time you will spend in the laboratory and undertaking project work which will provide emphasis to developing practical skills and capabilities, develop teamwork and time-management skills and provide context for your learning process.
You are expected to participate in face-to-face laboratory sessions and activities. Information given in these activities may not be available otherwise and will most likely impact on your success in the course. However, most lectures will be delivered online.
All courses use CANVAS for electronic provision of course material, tutorial problems, past assessments and/or other relevant documents.
You will be assessed by a variety of methods, as appropriate to the material being taught, the skills being acquired, and the capabilities developed. Formative and summative assessment tasks are undertaken throughout courses in the program.
Formative assessment is often carried out during a course and provides you opportunity for immediate evidence of your learning. Its purpose is to improve the quality of your learning, assignments and laboratory assessment are the most common formative assessment techniques. Online discussions, revision problems, and past assessments, are available for you to gauge your understanding of the lecture material.
Course goals and objectives reflect the cumulative nature of the learning process and summative assessment, usually at the end of the course, is used to ensure you have met these course aims. Assessments, Assignments, oral and written presentations, laboratory and project reports represent some of the methods to measure your learning.
