Colleagues - Sharon Schoenmaker• “Approaches to teaching that influence, motivate and inspire students to learn”

• Andrew has delivered two core subjects within the Bachelor of Communication (Public Relations) for several years now COM 316 Advertising and PR Research Methods and more recently COM 339 Strategic and International Public Relations. Andrew has consistently delivered learning activities embracing contemporary public relations theory through contemporary case studies that engage and challenge students to maximise engagement and learning outcomes.

• Andrew’s thorough preparation for each class and enthusiastic delivery of course materials contributes to his individual ability to motive students. The content within the core research methods subject poses a challenge to any lecturer to present this material in an engaging manner. Andrew has embraced this challenged by delivering the subject via a series of lecture, tutorials and practical workshops that have seen the students not only understand and engage with the key concepts, but begin to apply their knowledge in developing research strategies for clients within the central west. Andrew’s initiative in suggesting and managing this assessment provides students with tangible experience in applying their theoretical knowledge to contemporary practice.

• Further evidence of Andrew’s ability to motivate students is his review of the subject at the end of each session and his recommendations to improve the subject in future sessions. This current session Andrew introduced a new assessment task for COM316 promoting greater participating and involvement of the students with the subject material. As I am currently teaching the same cohort, anecdotally, the feedback from the students has been overwhelmingly positive to the new assessment and I am sure the end of session subject evaluations will reflect this.

CSU Student Evaluations - Comments

This is by far the best course I have taken through CSU. It was very easy to navigate the course with Andrew's guidance. I found him to be a fantastic lecturer, approachable, insightful and organised in his approach. He bridged the gap between student and lecturer that I have experienced studying by distance before. – Student Evals – Comments MBA503 @01290

Being my first subject I found this way of studying very complex because we as a students have to organize ourselves and systematicaly follow the subject flow. If it wasnt for Andrews constant support guidelines and directions I would not be able to follow it alone. Andrews open and friendly style of guidance and support has created a boost of confidence in all of us. The subject was interesting and supporting readings opened completely new dimensions in marketing. Thank you Student Evals – Comments MKT501 201290

The lecturer was active in the discussion board and engaged with the students this made it much more interactive and supportive. He should be commended for the effort he put in. Student Evals – Comments MKT501 201290

nil. I have had A.Mashman for a few units in my MBA and his teaching and facilitating style has always been helpful and encorugaing. He sets very clear guidelines provides direction and gives excellent feedback for improving. He is one of my best and most engaging teachers that I have had in my MBA. Student Evals – Comments MKT540 201290

I thought this was a great subject - my favourite so far (out of 8 completed subjects). The assessments were interesting and for the first time I actually enjoyed completing assessments. Student Evals – Comments MKT570 201260

I loved having the actual client and business to assess and then present to. I found the subject had great practical relevance. Student Evals – Comments MKT340 201260

I loved this subject. Andrew's approach to teaching is great it really pushed me to excel and to find new ways of engaging with the audience. I really enjoyed the last two assessments about interational PR strategy. Great exercise and the two day forum was highly informative. I was amazed at**** creative some people were regarding their strategies. Student Evals – Comments COM339 201260

Andrew is a good lecturer, he is very passionate and easy to listen to. I learnt a lot throughit this subject. Student Evals – Comments MGT290 201230

The best subject I have done through CSU partly due to the subject matter being so closely linked to work experience and being directly transferrable and partly due to the quality of the teaching/materials. It was great to have some more guidance on assessments particularly the WIMBA sessions which were a great tool. Student Evals – Comments MGT510 201230
