Teaching and learning methods
Teaching and learning methods will include a combination of tutorials, workshops, and interactive discussions to support your academic and professional development. There will be an emphasis on student centred learning in which you will be supported by a wide range of resources. There will also be an opportunity for a practice presentation.
Assessment
Assessment strategy
This module contains formative and summative assessment to support the development of your academic skills.
If a student fails the summative assessment they will be given opportunities to re-submit, incorporating the feedback provided, until a pass is achieved. This must be completed in Semester 1; only the final result will appear on the student transcript.
