Approach to learning and assessment

The Bachelor of Business has a variety of learning and teaching 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 Bachelor of Business is predominately a blended learning environment. This includes both classroom teaching and an online learning environment.

In terms of classroom teaching, this may include discussion, guest lecturers, tutorials, class presentations, group discussions, student-led discussions, role-plays, 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.

The Bachelor of Business incorporates the use of authentic assessment. This is an approach to assessment where you are asked to perform real-world tasks to demonstrate the application of knowledge and skills. Authentic assessment requires you to perform tasks that meet the needs of industry so that you are work-ready. Industry feedback plays a key role and will be provided to you throughout the program.

Problem-based learning:In the Bachelor of Business, you may work in a team or individually to conduct research, solve problems, analyse and respond to case studies, prepare or respond to briefs, write original research or case study reports, or participate in managing a company in a computer-based business simulation. This technique is designed to simulate the experiences you will encounter working in business.

Flexible delivery: The program will incorporate extensive use of online resources. These may include learning resources such as lecture notes, and assessment and feedback tools such as discussion boards and quizzes.

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. Assignments and projects are also designed to develop your abilities in communications, research and reasoning, and provide a way to receive feedback on your skills development. By utilising this feedback to improve your skills and further develop your capabilities in relevant areas you will develop as a life-long learner.

For more information on assessment, refer to the RMIT Assessment and Assessment Flexibility policy.
