Abstract
Monash University's School of Information Management & Systems has over the last few years taken a novel approach to the teaching of its undergraduate degree program. This approach adopts and extends aspects of the Bauhaus style of teaching with the aim of developing IT graduates that are better prepared in both discipline knowledge and the non academic skills required in the IT workforce. This paper describes the studio-based teaching model adopted, and briefly reports on evaluations that were conducted during 2001. The focus of this paper is on the staff's perceptions of the model, though student's responses are drawn upon as an insight or support. Findings highlight the acceptance of the model in principle, but also highlight deficiencies in its implementation. The question "Are we there yet?" will not be fully answered until the student intake of 2001 graduate, as it is these students who have been immersed in the model from the commencement of their studies within the degree program.
