Approach to learning and assessment

The Bachelor of Accounting 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 Accounting 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 Accounting 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. 

Problem-based learning: In the Bachelor of Accounting, 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 (e.g. the use of cloud tools). 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. 

• Invigilated assessment: Accreditation requires 50% invigilated assessment. This can take different forms including written or oral exams, presentations, and in-class assessment activities.

Work 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 accounting professional 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 these aspects of a WIL experience may be simulated in a workplace environment. The Bachelor of Accounting includes several courses that are work integrated learning (WIL) courses. In these WIL courses, you will engage in activities that integrate theoretical learning with practical application in professional contexts and will engage you in meaningful and consequential learning activities. These courses involve you in interacting with organisations (industry, government, and community) through discipline relevant projects and work placements. Many courses in the Bachelor of Accounting use guest lecturers from industry, government or the community and activities relating to industry as part of the learning experience. Work integrated learning courses are included throughout the curriculum and clearly indicated as an integrated component of course choice. The WIL designated courses in the Bachelor of Accounting are: 

• BUSM2580 Integrated Perspectives on Business Problems (12 credit points) 

• BUSM2585 Business Graduate Folio (12 credit points) 

• ACCT2159 Financial Accountability and Reporting (12 credit points) 

• ACCT2197 Strategic Accounting and Leadership (12 credit points)
