Additional Learning Experience Information

This unit is conducted in both the on-campus and online modes.

On-campus students attend a weekly lecture and tutorial. Lectures are used to introduce the central concepts that are relevant in understanding the principles and practices of management. Lectures involve a blend of different experiences including the presentation of fundamental ideas, the opportunity for small group discussions and short videos. On-campus tutorials provide students with the opportunity to discuss in more detail, the application of a number of concepts covered in the text and the lecture. The tutorial also allows students to get feedback on the development of their assessment tasks. Most of this work is done in small groups discussion, allowing students to develop their oral communication, reasoning and problem solving skills, in addition to encouraging a student centred approach to learning. Assessment methods provide students the opportunity to demonstrate their content knowledge, research skills and written communication skills. Online students access the program via Blackboard. An electronic version of the on-campus lecture is available for students, in addition to guided support material, review questions and assignment support. The use of online resources and interaction of students between each other and their online tutor allows students to develop their communication skills that rely on electronic media, in addition to encouraging a student centred approach to learning. Assessment methods provide students the opportunity to demonstrate their content knowledge, research skills and written communication skills.
Regular online access is required.
