These courses cover foundational topics in global business practices and managerial principles. In 2013, he co-authored and presented "The effect of academic instructor feedback on self and peer evaluations in team projects" at the Teaching and Learning Forum (TL Forum) alongside Antonia Girardi of the Murdoch Business School. Employing a quasi-experimental design with 26 observations from students in a second-year business management course, the paper analyzed how instructor feedback—including assigned grades—impacts self and peer evaluation outcomes in team projects. Results showed that feedback influences students' rating motivations, potentially improving the reliability of summative peer assessments. Dawson has also acted as Murdoch University's institutional representative for the Australian and New Zealand Academy of Management (ANZAM). He is located in room 512.1.033.
