Lectures are used to introduce the key concepts of managerial accounting and to illustrate how these concepts are applied in practice. In addition, the applicability of these concepts and techniques in different countries are highlighted, where appropriate. On-campus tutorials provide students with the opportunity to discuss and apply the managerial accounting principles to case study scenarios and in so doing further develop their skills of critical appraisal, effective communication and the ability to generate ideas. The assessment methods include active participation during tutorials, an online mid-semester test, a team assignment requiring the preparation of a written report and a final examination. These assessments provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate their content knowledge, critical thinking ability and to further develop their teamwork skills and written communication skills in preparing managerial accounting reports of quality academic and professional standards. Off-campus students are provided with an electronic version (Power Point presentations) of the internal lectures and weekly practice questions. The lecture presentations are used to introduce the key concepts of managerial accounting and to illustrate how these concepts are practically applied. The practice questions provide students with the opportunity to apply the managerial accounting principles covered in the lecture material, to case study scenarios and in so doing further develop their skills of critical appraisal and the ability to generate ideas. Off-campus students receive additional support via the Blackboard discussion board, where students are encouraged to discuss critical aspects of the unit content and the application thereof. Regular online access is required. The assessment methods include the submission of two written assignments (the first is to be completed on an individual basis and the second to be completed as a team), an online mid-semester test and a final examination. These assessments provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate their content knowledge, critical thinking ability and to further develop their teamwork skills and written communication skills in preparing managerial accounting reports of quality academic and professional standards.
