The flow of knowledge through organisations is crucial for growth and sustainable performance in our rapidly changing "knowledge economy."
This course explores how the application of knowledge principles helps to deliver organisational goals and build competitive advantage through enhanced solution design and implementation.
Course participants are engaged in facilitated dialogue to develop their capabilities to deconstruct situations. Teams collaborate to assess opportunities, rethink the knowledge and capabilities of real organisations to design and redevelop the organisation's ability to sustain knowledge driven performance.
We explore the concept of knowledge succession with a focus on how people interact through supporting processes, which in turn are made efficient by aligned tools.
The course covers a wide range of interdependent factors impacting business, starting with complexity and change and leading through to models, theories and concepts in practice, culminating in the application of integrated solutions to businesses situations (managed as case studies) to leverage strategic relationships and generate positive social and commercial impacts.
The course provides an integrated view of how organisations use or misuse knowledge in their business and how the future cycles of design are driven by knowledge gained in past and present cycles.

The New Academic Street is transforming the heart of the City campus to improve the student experience at RMIT's flagship location in Melbourne's central business district.
The project will open the campus to the surrounding streetscape and create light-filled laneways, glass roof arcades and rooftop urban spaces.
Currently under renovation, the Swanston Library will double its capacity and provide more than 2000 quiet and collaborative study spaces across multiple floors with access to fresh air and natural light.
High-quality WiFi and more power outlets for your range of mobile devices will also be available. You will have better access to online and physical Library collections and service staff will be on hand to provide assistance.

The project will also provide an extra 1000 student seats and you will be able to visit green spaces while taking advantage of permanent and pop-up cafes, restaurants, retail spaces and recreational facilities.
A new Media Precinct that includes TV studios fitted with the latest broadcast technology will enable a new level of industry engagement for students, community stakeholders and alumni will also be delivered with the project.
While there will be some impacts over the two-year construction program, key facilities will be handed back in stages to ensure students enjoy the benefits of the new environment as soon as possible.
To be completed in 2017, the New Academic Street will give students, academics, staff and visitors an urban experience, with spaces for learning, amenities and relaxation so they experience the best kind of academic environment.

Save money, keep fit, reduce stress and contribute to a more sustainable city by riding your bike to RMIT.
Ride the City helps commuters find the best and safest bicycle routes between two points; it automatically selects paths that keep cyclists off the busiest roads and highways, making the most of routes with bike paths, bike lanes and bike-friendly streets. Commuters can opt for either the safest or most direct routes when searching. You can also interact with the cycling community by providing feedback and adding your own route suggestions.
Google Maps is also a good app to plan your bike routes with. It will let you choose on and off-road routes as well as cycle-friendly routes.
Finally, if you like your maps old-school and on paper, your best resource is the Melbourne TravelSmart Map, which includes on and off-road shared paths and bike lanes, bike parking and bike hoop locations around the city as well as some added bonus tips (i.e. a list of bike shops around the CBD).
The map is available for pick-up at City of Melbourne Town Hall reception, Melbourne Visitor Centre at Fed Square, Bicycle Network and selected bike retailers around town. You can also download it here (PDF 2p, 4.7Mb).
A number of mobile apps can also be helpful with mapping your rides, keeping track of your fitness and networking with other cyclists to keep you motivated. Check out Map My Ride, Strava and Team Up.
In Victoria, riders and passengers of bicycles are required to wear securely fitted and fastened helmets. When riding at night you must have a white light on the front, a red light and a red reflector on the back of your bike.
You are subject to the general road rules that govern all traffic on the road and must obey traffic control signs and signals such as red lights, stop and give way signs as well as speed limits.
Learn more and avoid fines and demerit points here.
Bicycle hoops are available in abundance all around RMIT City campus.
If you are concerned about security and don't like leaving your bike out on the street you can have some peace of mind by getting RMIT bike cage access. It is secure, free and easy to apply.

Don't own a car? What if you could still drive one without the hassle or expenses? Car sharing programs are environmentally friendly and ideal for people who drive less than 15,000 km per year and could help you save money with generous student discounts and no costs with registration, petrol, maintenance and, in most cases, even parking.
Car pods are located across Melbourne's central business district and suburbs for convenience and vehicles can be easily booked via phone, online or through mobile apps. Some services can turn out cheaper than cabs or rental cars.
A number of taxi companies services the Melbourne area, while cab rides can be convenient they can also be costly. See the Taxi Services Commission website for a full list.
Taxi Fare Estimator will help you estimate travel costs and duration of any trips around town.
Uber is a ride sharing service that connects passengers with drivers much like a taxi service. Luxury rides are available through their UberBlack service while UberX offers cheaper rides.

Stress is common for almost all tertiary students. Stress can be managed in many ways, but remember:
One of the most successful strategies in dealing with stressful periods is to be able to maintain an existing normal, healthy routine. This should include continuing good habits of regular exercise, nutrition, a reasonable balance of fun and social activities, and adequate rest and sleep.
But remember, a normal routine can only be maintained if it has been implemented in the first place! Make sure you establish this healthy routine and life-study balance early in your new program. Don't wait until your assignment due dates roll around to realise that you should've planned earlier. Plan now.
Talking to someone – family, other students, lecturers, counsellors, support staff – often helps to put your problems in perspective. Most importantly, never be afraid to ask others for help.
Support staff are in place at RMIT to assist you. And, despite possibly feeling like your own problem is unique, in all likelihood, they've probably already successfully helped students facing your very problem.
If you're unsure of whom to approach, RMIT Connect can point you in the right direction.
Sometimes when stressed, we get caught up in negative thoughts that make us feel inadequate about what we don't understand. At these times, rather than listening to our negative self-thoughts, it is often the best course of action to confront the situation directly.
Take the initiative: don't delay an issue or leave a problem with an assignment or a lack of understanding of your course. Approach the lecturer. Ask a tutor. Ask other students. It often helps to confront the most difficult aspect first.
For some people, this may be going for a walk, working out at the gym, doing some gardening or playing music. Do whatever helps to take a break from study – this will help you to manage stress and actually improve your focus when you return to your studies.
These activities often provide balance by giving you a break from focussing too much on only one aspect of your life, but also provide additional benefits such as improving the quality of your sleep. Get some perspective.
If you are reviewing your workload and things still seem impossible, try to remind yourself of your long-term goals and your personal reasons for enrolling in your program. Don't allow your current short-term stress affect your longer-term ambitions.
After a review of your workload, make sure that you take time to get advice and consider options around your current problems. There is help available, and reducing your current load or taking a short-term leave is often far more preferable than a rushed decision: there's often no need to hurry a decision to withdraw from a course.

RMIT is committed to working with students to improve the quality of learning and teaching experience.
Student-Staff Consultative Committees (SSCCs) empower students to give feedback and have real input on how their study program is taught and managed by:
SSCCs discuss issues related to your postgraduate program. Being an SSCC student representative gives you a chance to improve your program's:
SSCCs highlight examples of good practice; monitor the delivery of the program against the program plan, the delivery of courses against course guides, the total student workload, and the general satisfaction of students with the program; consider suggestions for modifications and improvement to the program; consider and seek to resolve problems that are of concern to students undertaking the program and make recommendations to appropriate managers on matters requiring action that the committee cannot resolve directly.
As a student representative, you get the chance to improve your RMIT learning experience and develop relationship management skills that can be used in the workplace.
A free, three-hour interactive RMIT LEAD training session will give you the skills and knowledge you need to be a student representative. Once completed, along with the required hours of active participation in your committee, you'll be eligible for an LEAD certificate signed by the Vice-Chancellor. Recognition of your contribution will be recorded on your academic transcript.
Training occurs at the start of semesters one and two and you can book in through CareerHub (login required).
To become a student representative, you must nominate yourself at the start of the year. If there are more nominations than places available, your School will hold an election in which all students in your study program can vote.
Nomination form (PDF 1p, 276Kb)
Membership is for one calendar year. Committees meet at least twice each semester. The first meeting must always happen before the end of the fourth week of each semester.
You do not need to be a representative to attend meetings for the program you are enrolled in. To attend a meeting simply notify the secretary in advance to ensure the venue is large enough.
Find out more about SSCCs here.

To support student success, RMIT University provides a range of adjustments to assessment.
If you have an unavoidable employment, family, cultural, religious or elite sporting commitment known in advance you can apply for an extension of time for submission of assessable work or future assessment adjustment.
Other circumstances outside of your control that may prevent you from submitting assessment work in time may include unexpected short-term physical or mental ill-health.
Applications for extension of time for submission of assessable work must be made if you are seeking an extension of seven calendar days or less (from the original due date) and you must apply at least one working day before the assessment deadline.
To apply complete an Application for extension of time for submission of assessable work form (PDF 2p 48KB) and lodge it with the school that offers the course.
If the clash between the circumstances and the assessment date were not known at the time of enrolment you may apply for a future assessment adjustment. To apply complete a Future assessment adjustment application form (PDF 4p 59KB) and refer to the form for instructions on how and when you must lodge the form and supporting documentation.
You may also consider applying for an assessment adjustment if adverse circumstances such as a bereavement, unexpected carer responsibility for an immediate family member, being the victim of a crime or other trauma, severe disruption of living arrangements and financial hardship will have a significant impact on your academic progress.
Special consideration is available on the understanding that it will be used sparingly and only where genuine need is proven.
Special consideration is not granted for Chinese New Year, absence from classes, misreading the exam timetable or holidays.
Use the online special consideration application to lodge your application and submit supporting documents. You can use the online special consideration application to lodge an application for Future Assessment Adjustment.
Please email special.consideration@rmit.edu.au for advice and assistance in lodging a special consideration application.
If you have a disability, long-term illness, mental health condition or primarily care for a close family member with these conditions, you can make arrangements that will allow you to still fully participate in assessment tasks.
An Equitable Assessment Arrangement (EAA) could be made for any formal assessment task or exam outlined in your course guide.
To apply for an EAA, contact the Disability Liaison Unit (DLU) at least six weeks before your exam or four weeks before your first assessment task. There is no guarantee the University can accommodate your needs if you register after this time.
Whereas an EAA applies to a long-term condition, arrangements could be made in exceptional circumstances. See details here.
The health practitioner treating the condition will need to complete a Supporting documentation form (PDF 2p 105KB) supplied by DLU.
You will also be asked to complete a DLU registration and confidentiality form.
Possible outcomes of your EAA application could be:
All communications on your DLU registration will be through your RMIT student email account. It is your responsibility to ensure this account remains able to receive incoming mail, and to check it regularly (especially after you have registered with the DLU).
Please contact the Disability Liaison Unit for further information.
For more information on what types of adjustments are available and how to apply please click here.

One of the biggest challenges in undertaking any study program is finding time, particularly when
balancing work commitments alongside of existing social and family lives.
In this section, we include a few tips for goal setting, forming good routines and avoiding procrastination.
Ideally, these are practices best implemented early in your study program.
Set goals for yourself. Often it helps to consider your aspirational and long-term goals; those that motivate you across a longer portion of your life. Writing down your long-term goals can help you focus, particularly during difficult times. Then break these goals into smaller, more manageable mid- term goals. It is likely that your tertiary studies as a whole is one of your mid-term goals. It is often helpful to have a broader picture of what motivates your studies and how this contributes to your overall progress.
When dealing with a specific goal, such as planning for an assignment or studying for an exam, it often helps to break the task up into manageable portions. A simple acronym for ensuring that short-term goals are appropriate is to keep them SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-oriented.
We all think that we're good at multitasking, though the reality shows this belief is often a myth. We lose time switching between activities. While there are so many interesting things to be attracted by, such as social media, emails or web browsing, putting your attention into these diverts it away from your study. Block your time to deal with only one thing at a time and do that one thing well.
Sometimes you can trick yourself into thinking you are actually working by doing minor tasks, such as continuously checking emails. Rarely is this the most efficient use of your time. Deal within incoming work in a strategic manner, with designated times for checking and sorting your priorities. Be firm and assertive to those around you in communicating your expectations for dealing with emails and other communications.
We are rarely at our most efficient for more than a few hours per day. For many people, the most productive time will be early in the morning. For others, this may be late at night. For others still, this time will be during the day after working up to it. You will know when you are most productive.
Try to ensure that this time is used efficiently by undertaking those tasks that require the most concentration. Schedule routine and mundane activities for when you require the least amount of mental engagement. Organising your time in this way will maximise use of your own mental resources.
Routines allow for consistency of performance. They are good at enabling difficult tasks and decisions to be broken down into manageable and predictable chunks. Routines can be more easily monitored and changed incrementally. Furthermore, routines remove the effort needed to get motivated to undertake mundane tasks that we would otherwise set aside for later.
Do things when they need to be done, but as a general rule, you should try to ensure that you spend more time on important rather than urgent tasks. It is sometimes easy to focus all of our attention on short-term deadlines. These are important, but you need to ensure enough time is allocated to the most important tasks required, even if they have a longer deadline.
Don't overcommit your schedule. Learn to say no. Politely but assertively let other people know your commitments and capacity. And stick to it. There are some excellent modules on improving your assertiveness, including how to say "no" effectively, available at the Centre for Clinical Interventions.
Build in breaks between activities. Treat the breaks as important to your success, too. By doing this, you'll return to your study with a renewed energy. Try to maintain the boundaries between activities by incorporating clear buffer zones in your schedule to give you time to move from one activity to the next. This will allow a fresh approach to each new activity.
The cause of procrastination is not what you might think. Laziness usually has very little to do with it. Most forms of procrastination arise from delaying a commitment out of fear of producing unsatisfactory work or work that you feel you are capable of producing. Frequently, it is perfectionists who often need to overcome the problem of procrastination.
The Anxiety Disorders Association of Victoria (ADAVIC) also has a useful tip sheet for overcoming procrastination
here.

Most people coming into your postgraduate program will have had some experience as a student within the classroom.
Some of your fellow students will have arrived directly after having completed their undergraduate qualifications.
Others will have left study for a while and gained professional and industry experience and are now returning to study for the first time in years.
Yet others may have a wealth of industry and professional experience, but may be formalising their understanding with this study program for their first time ever in a university classroom.
Approach this diversity as a resource: if your background has been academic, you'll be amazed at the connections and contacts you can meet through people with industry experience.
Similarly, if you've been working out in industry, you'll benefit greatly by collaboration with students who are familiar with navigating the academic environment, whether that's the use of technology, or the library, or negotiating other facilities and resources.
The most effective way of enhancing your own success is through collaboration.

You will find collaboration with fellow students invaluable, both during your studies – to springboard ideas in dealing with difficult assignments and exam preparation – as well as once you have completed the course as an ongoing, global professional network. But these collegiate networks do not often automatically appear for you, they have to be built.
Eventually, they may become an important career resource; however, often because the nature of postgraduate programs usually means balancing existing career and family commitments, you may generally seem to have fewer opportunities to develop new friendship groups on campus.
It is important that you try to persist. So make sure you:

Sometimes, people from your pre-university social groups are less than happy with the time now being spent on your immersion in studies. This problem can be particularly evident with a partner or child, particularly if they are not familiar with the expectations of university life. Beginning a new university program may also affect your relationships with friends.
A few suggestions if these issues arise:

A prominent aspect of many of your courses will be group work. This practice allows you to make connections with your peers and to begin to combine and allocate your collective resources. Some advice from recent students includes:
When you do group work you'll hear new ideas, gain negotiating experience and connect with fellow students.
But working in groups is not always easy, particularly if not everyone's effort is equal.
It can help if your group shares research results, meets regularly, talks through the task and reads and works on a draft of the work together.
When you meet, an agenda with actions to put people's names against can help everyone understand what they need to do by when and be a checklist for meetings that follow.
Feedback can help group members make progress. Check these tips for giving and receiving constructive feedback.
Here are some tips for how to manage conflict as a group with useful language to use when work is not getting done or when there's a disagreement.
Allow enough time to revise and edit the group paper. Ensuring formatting is consistent and language is clear can result in better marks.

The best tips for managing parenting and studying, or even just maintaining existing family relationships while studying, are similar to general study tips, but the importance of following them is multiplied exponentially.
Make sure you:
You will need to be prepared! Organise key dates, identify potential speed humps, ask for help. Do this early. Discuss any issues with your lecturers and support staff. The Victorian School Term dates are available in iCal format here. Load these onto your existing calendar and identify any potential issues in clashes between kindergarten or school and your studies before the semester begins.
There is a saying that it takes a village to raise a child: you will find your studies, and your whole family-life while studying, so much easier if you can locate your own village. You may even need to draw together people to help build it. But the effort will be worth it. Try to discuss the parent-study combination with other parent-students. The tips and advice from people juggling similar issues can save you so much time. Share study sessions. Share babysitting, or share good reliable contacts for babysitting. Most importantly, talk to other parents and share your experiences.
Ensure you remember to create time in your schedule that is just for them. Parenting, even without the study, seems to involve a certain amount of guilt. Add a study load on top of this and the guilt will be multiplied. So make sure to balance your work and study with parenting by ensuring that there's even a little quality time with your children. There may be times during the semester that this quality time is as simple as designated cooperative reading times. But try to stick to your promises and ensure there's time in your week to really listen to your child's needs.
Communicate your goals and desires to those around you. Listen to their concerns. Ensure that you provide quality time to others, but then maintain clear boundaries on your own study time. Be assertive in maintaining this schedule. There's more comprehensive information on boundary setting and assertiveness in our Time Management section.
When you're on a plane, the safety steward will request that you fix your own oxygen mask and only once this is done, to then attend to your child's mask. This is because you're not much help in assisting your children if you're not well yourself. The same principle applies for the balance required to undertake your studies at the same time as raising a family. Don't forget to:
As well as keeping you fit, exercise will help relieve stress and enables you to sleep better. You will have a clearer mind and return to your study invigorated and feeling fresh. Often exercise allows parents the much needed personal "me time" which also improves the quality of time when you are caring for family.
A long-term balanced approach and good nutrition is essential. Follow the tips in the super foods section of this app.
Possibly easier said than done, but important.

Starting your RMIT postgraduate program is only the first step towards increasing your competency and skills to succeed in your chosen profession. If you have opted to study online you are not alone as you join more than 6000 Open Universities Australia (OUA) studying at RMIT.
But studying online comes with a few challenges. Here's how to overcome them:
There are no differences in curriculum, lecturers, duration, or graduation certificate. While studying online can be largely more convenient than attending your program face-to-face, do not make the mistake and assumption that less work will be required or that the program's workload will be less demanding. It is recommended that you dedicate 10-15 hours to each course on a weekly basis.
Will you have access to all the materials you'll need with your current hardware and software? Do you understand all the technical requirements and the online tools used as part of your online program? Don't let technical issues get in your way, be all plugged in, get familiar with the systems used and be ready to go before you begin your studies. Have the technology already figured out and don't let it disrupt you. Contact RMIT's IT services if you're experiencing technical difficulties.
You need to determine a regular weekly dedicated schedule that you can stick to. You need to have all important dates in a calendar - and, if possible, finish your assignments before the deadline. You need a consistent study area where you can get in the zone, be comfortable, have some quiet time and no distractions. Adhere to your schedule, log in as regularly as you would if you were to be on campus. Get into the habit early and be realistic about how you will manage your time.
Connect with your peers, participate and be part of your program's community. You can actively contribute and network in discussion boards, social media and other virtual channels. Do not hesitate to contact your lecturers and academic support services if you require any assistance or would like to provide feedback. Your tutors may be "distant" but as your facilitators and advisors they also expect you to be engaged.
myRMIT is your definite one-stop-shop for key information and to always keep up to date with your program. Explore your student portal and make sure you use a password that will be easy to remember once you change it after your initial login.

A personal budget works well when your income is greater than your expenses, but difficulty arrives when your expenses exceed your income.
There are two basic ways of addressing this equation: increase your income or reduce your expenses.
Increasing income is a good option, but this often comes at a cost. It will usually mean taking on a new job or extra shifts. These will increase your income although will take away from your time. It is important to consider the impact of this on your required study times. Before undertaking additional work, ensure that your planned schedule still includes enough time to complete your studies.
The best way to manage your personal budget while studying is to reduce your costs. Control these costs by reviewing purchases that are non-essential, or luxuries, and where possible, minimise these expenses.
An overall guide to basic living costs for university study can be found here.
You can also use this handy

A healthy diet and some superfoods can help you improve your mental focus during your postgrad studies. You can beat poor concentration and low energy levels by eating the right foods. Here are some suggestions on how to get the most out of your meals and fuel your student brain power:
Eating regularly throughout the day will boost your metabolism and help you avoid energy slumps. A light meal or snack every 3 to 4 hours could save you from that common late afternoon energy dip. Look out for foods that are rich in fibre as they moderate energy release and help balance energy levels as the day progresses.
Some of the best energy producing foods include brown rice, oats, wholemeal bread, wholemeal pasta, wholegrains, lentils and beans, fruit and vegetables. Avoid quick fix foods because after every sugar high there is a sugar crash, stay away from one-off hit energy foods such as white rice, white bread, white pasta, pastries, fizzy drinks, cakes and biscuits.
Lean protein keeps your brain cells and neurotransmitters happy and running on full speed through the day. You'll concentrate better and be in a much better mood when you get your daily protein fix.
The best easily digestible protein sources are foods such as fish and shellfish, poultry, nuts and seeds, peanut butter, beans and legumes, eggs, tofu and soy products. Red-meat and dairy-products are also great sources of protein but should be eaten in moderation as it takes more energy to digest them.
Natural complex carbohydrates are not fattening and are a great source of energy because it takes the body longer to digest them. Our brains use 20% of the body's carbohydrate supply, so don't starve your source of intelligence. Carbs provide the body with glucose, which is then converted to energy so look out for healthier sources of carbohydrates such as unprocessed whole grains, vegetables, fruits and beans.
Stay away from highly processed or refined foods as they raise blood sugar levels too high and too quickly. Essential fats or monounsaturated fats help lower cholesterol, provide vitamin E, improve blood circulation and vascular health and burn fat! A little olive oil, avocado, nuts and seeds are good sources of healthy fat.
Coffee is an excellent source of antioxidants and has been proved to improve memory, mood, vigilance, energy levels, reaction times and general cognitive function. It also helps improve mental clarity. In excess, caffeine is an energy-depletor and known to reduce absorption of key energy-nutrients, so watch how many cups you have per day. Green tea is one of the healthiest alternative ways to get your caffeine boost while also accelerating your metabolism and preventing spikes in blood sugar.
You probably already know this but 85 per cent of your brain weight is made up of water and you use up to 1.5 litres a day, so stock up and make sure to drink 1.5 to 2 litres of water per day. Dehydration will shrink your brain tissue, impair your memory, leave you feeling tired and unable to make decisions. There are many known benefits to drinking water and recent research by The University of East London even suggested that it makes the brain 14 per cent faster.

Diversity in the classroom can be a powerful resource for your own learning.
You may find that fellow students tend to gather together in culturally similar groups; however, doing this can limit the benefits that a range of different experiences can bring to your own learning.
If you are a student who speaks only Australian English, a diverse multicultural campus provides an opportunity to network on a global scale, although this may take some initial effort. If you participate and engage with students from backgrounds other than your own, you will likely:
There are many reasons to engage, but keep in mind that people with different backgrounds may have numerous experiences that may be beneficial to your own career and employers want graduates who can communicate effectively with people from diverse language and cultural backgrounds.
The classroom is an important place to make connections, reflect
on the value of interacting with diverse students for your own learning.

Often, students who come from different learning cultures have different understandings of the expectations of interaction within the classroom. If you have come from a different learning culture, there are three main areas in which the Australian classroom may differ from your previous experience.
Classrooms often feature more:
• Self-directed study—less focus on being explicitly told what to learn by your lecturer and more emphasis on independent learning
• Asking questions—students are actively encouraged to ask questions when they do not understand something or need clarification
• Working in groups—many courses have clear expectations that a certain portion of the assessment will occur by conducting work in group
Many new students are surprised that they are expected to become self-directed and independent learners in Australian tertiary institutions. Assignments often require finding knowledge yourself, or with a group, and not just recording what a lecturer has said.
In order to begin managing your own studies, you will need to develop the following skills:
• The capacity to find necessary as well as additional information. This may include being able to use the library to find readings or to navigate your courses' Blackboard pages, including links to additional information. If you require extra assistance with learning how to do any of these, take the initiative to ask.
For example, there are tours of the library available as well as sessions with your specific discipline librarian.
Take the time to understand what is expected and then ensure you follow through with learning the skills needed to meet these expectations.
• The ability to learn without explicit direction. Your course will have set readings and required texts; you need to use these as a starting point to your learning within your subject and begin to read around. You will become increasingly responsible for organising your own learning.
• The ability to critique readings, to question the assumptions of the information which you are presented and to discuss your findings with others. If you have not done these activities before, you will find these are skills can take some time to learn. It is important to attempt to participate in discussions as early as possible.
By getting involved in class discussions early, you will improve your confidence in discussing you opinions.
• The capacity to work independently and manage your own time. Time management is a crucial aspect of success at this level. Make sure that you follow the advice in the time management section and ensure you establish an early achievable, realistic routine.
Students new to Australian classrooms often feel uncomfortable about asking questions. Perhaps this is because you'll think you will be seen as wasting others' time, or worry that you'll appear too demanding or seem rude to others.
Sometimes, you might not want to let on just how much you feel you're struggling, whether in language, comprehension of the action required of you at that moment, or even struggling to understand the course content itself. But in Australia, staff would much prefer you ask. If you don't understand something you are expected to ask questions. You will find that this will actually assist your lecturers as well.
It's a good idea to begin asking questions early in your program, too. This will help you gain confidence in the process.
Furthermore, asking questions will help you to see both lecturers and peers as a great resource, one which hopefully becomes reciprocal.
As well as questioning within class, another significant difference is the expected interaction within class. This includes participating in discussions and sharing your understandings.
Participate. Discuss. Share.

Group work is a part of the majority of units undertaken in the MBA. You may be allocated a group and other times you will be able to pick your group members. This is a great opportunity to network with people from diverse industry and management backgrounds.
Don't worry too much if you don't know anyone in your group in the first semester! Some of the strongest bonds are formed here; remember to share your strengths and set out clear timelines for tasks to be completed. It's important to be open-minded and listen to others perspectives; everyone has different motivators, similar to departments in a business.
The first meeting may be your only one face to face ( Skype is useful when people are overseas/interstate). If you have a large group, think about pairing everyone up in a CLN buddy, that way if you have group meetings and a person is unable to attend, the buddy can relay the information. Also think about the CLN buddy system for constructing the report, what strengths does your group have?
There are useful tools to ensure open team communication that eliminates the need for email like Asana and Trello. For sharing documents you can use Google Docs on your student email or try Dropbox for larger files. (For other tool tips see Handy Tools)

There are various accommodation options available to you around your campus from student apartment complexes and student hostels to private rental and homestay accommodation.
Discover where to live below.
Most student hostels offer lockable, fully furnished rooms with access to shared facilities. Some provide meal plans or kitchen facilities. Most include basic utilities in overall cost, although you must confirm arrangements and inclusions with the individual hostel.
Student apartments are specifically designed for university students. There are several city centre, Brunswick and Bundoora fully-furnished apartment complexes. Most have on-site management, security and private telephone and internet options. Check the inclusions before signing a lease.
Listings for advertised private rooms, shared apartments and vacant house properties are all available on this online database. Browse share house and private rental listings using the search options, then register to access the contact details. Note: these listings are not inspected by RMIT University and you should investigate the appropriateness of the accommodation yourself.
Shared accommodation can be a good way to keep costs down while enjoying the social benefits of living with other people. However, be aware when choosing housemates that complications frequently arise when people have different expectations on living habits and lifestyle. Be upfront about your expectations and take the time to find suitable housemates.
Places to start looking for shared accommodation opportunities in Melbourne include:
You can find most houses and apartments listed for private rental markets available on
realestate.com.au.
Student Housing Australia is also a large private provider of purpose-built student accommodation. Student Housing Australia has a large portfolio of student accommodation available and usually schedules multiple inspection times convenient to the schedules of students.
The laws that cover renting in Victoria are set out in the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA). The purpose of the RTA is to define the rights and duties of landlords and tenants of rented premises and rooming houses. These cover most agreements with landlords. Tenancy law may also cover you if you do not have a written agreement.
For further information:
Consumer Affairs Victoria produces a guide which must be provided to all new tenants under the RTA. A copy of this guide is available here.
Learn your rights and responsibilities as a renter with Consumer Affairs Victoria's RentRight smartphone app. This app provides access to information to resolve any rental problems that may occur. There are also suggested email templates for repairs, breaking leases and fixing common problems.
