Although the methods used to teach the subjects vary, the Bachelor of Training and Development follows principles of adult learning. You are expected to use your experiences and to participate in syndicate exercises, role plays, simulations and seminar presentations.
The total number of contact hours for each subject are stated in the subject description. Subjects may, as demand requires, be offered in a number of alternative modes of delivery, including weekly sessions, intensive seminars and workshops conducted during the weekend or vacation periods, through computer-mediated delivery using the network, or as a combination of one or more of these modes.
A limited number of first year subjects are available again in 1996 for part time and repeating students. Please refer to the 1995 Handbook for subject descriptions not detailed below.
