Learning Approaches
AMB164 is built around a learning cycle of analysis, practice, and refinement. You will learn core media relations skills, which you will apply to specific genres including media releases, speeches, tweets, and blogs.
Before the start of semester, you will be provided with online diagnostic tests to complete. These tests do not count towards assessment; rather they are designed to help you determine whether you should seek additional support with your spelling, grammar, and punctuation skills so you can participate fully in this unit. The results of these diagnostic tests will help you identify any areas of your technical writing skills that need attention and improvement.
Throughout the semester, you will be required to participate in writing exercises in each tutorial. Professional writing skills are further refined through self-reflection and peer feedback in tutorials and lectures. All learning in the unit is supported by the Canvas site. Learning and assessment in the unit will involve real-world case studies and clients. Note that the content in some weeks may be presented entirely online to enhance your learning experience.
This unit uses text matching tools that assist you to develop the academic skills required to correctly use and cite reference material as well as to check citations and determine possible instances of plagiarism. You will be expected to submit draft and/or final versions of one or more assignments using plagiarism detection software. Your Unit Coordinator will provide detailed information on how the software will be used in this unit.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
Students will receive feedback in various forms throughout the semester which may include:
- Informal: worked examples, such as verbal feedback in class, personal consultation
- Formal: in writing, such as checklists (e.g. criteria sheets), written commentary
- Direct: to individual students, either in written form or in consultation
- Indirect: to the whole class
Feedback is an essential part of the learning cycle in AMB164 (see Learning approaches). In this unit, students will be offered the opportunity to actively participate in providing and receiving feedback through peer and self-assessment. Written feedback will be provided through assessment items.
