Assessment

Participants will be required to complete various subject assessments to graduate from the program. These are made up of a mix of individual and group tasks, including learnings journals, group projects, and a group concept paper. While the program does allow some time to undertake the work required, you will need to allocate personal time to complete the assessments as well as the readings for each course.

For those who are based in Adelaide, we will be offering a blended delivery mode that combines face-to-face with remote learning in as many courses as possible, taking into consideration social distancing and hygiene. All lectures will continue to be delivered online for the remainder of the year, with some exceptions.

For our students who are studying offshore for the remainder of the 2020 Academic Year, the University will continue to offer high-quality access to the learning resources remotely. This includes all lectures, tutorials and other support material. Students will be advised in advance if there are course components that cannot be provided in remote mode and, wherever possible, offered alternative courses.
