Lectures are used to introduce the central concepts and literature relevant to Australia's policing bodies and their operations. On-campus tutorials provide students with the opportunity to discuss critical aspects of the content in greater detail and develop their communication and teamwork skills. The assessments allow students to demonstrate their content knowledge, critical thinking and develop their written communication skills. Off-campus students are provided with an electronic version of the on-campus lecture and weekly tutorials. All information is delivered to off-campus students via Blackboard. Regular online activities, delivered via the online modules and the discussion board, provide students with the opportunity to discuss critical aspects of the content in greater detail. Online tutorials using Adobe Connect Pro allow students to develop their communication and teamwork skills. The assessments allow students to demonstrate their content knowledge, critical thinking and develop their written communication skills. Regular online access is required.
