Postgraduate coursework teaching
Teaching in postgraduate settings represents a unique combination of opportunities and challenges for the university teacher. Typically, postgraduate coursework programs involve relatively small groups of mature-age students, many of whom are studying part-time.
Like their undergraduate counterparts, these students appreciate:
- clear program goals and standards
- context-appropriate assessment and feedback
- high quality learning activities and resources that take account of different learning styles
- feeling that they belong to the university learning community
In particular, part-time postgraduate students value flexible access to academic staff, support staff, learning materials, libraries, and computer laboratories.
Postgraduate coursework teaching provides important opportunities to engage students through research-based learning, including research projects. Griffith recognises the unique factors associated with postgraduate coursework study and the associated importance of flexible high quality teaching across the University in postgraduate settings.
