Supervision
Given the structure of the degree and the class demographic, there are no formal supervisions through Colleges, or during the course of the Executive Master of Accounting.
However, there are a great many opportunities to link with academic and professional staff throughout the year, and students are encouraged to use these links.
Teaching methods
Teaching is typically delivered through formal lectures, participative workshops and case learning. The Executive Master of Accounting aims to foster a learning environment where ideas can be generated and discussed, and we expect students to contribute actively to this environment.
Assessment methods
Assessment is through a mix of exams, written assignments, attendance at events, and presentations. Assessment methods vary by course, with some courses using a combination of methods.
