Rate My Professor Cassandra Spencer

Enrolling at Murdoch University, Spencer completed a Bachelor of Business with double majors in Human Resources Management and Business Law, plus a Graduate Certificate in Business Administration, in just three years by taking postgraduate units during breaks—a feat typically spanning four to five years elsewhere. She joined Murdoch as an Associate Lecturer in Management in her dream role, teaching since 2013 across management, human resources, change management (BUS230), global strategic management (BUS338), organizational behaviour (BUS293), and career self-development units. Her pedagogy prioritizes practical application, integrating students' full-time, part-time, or casual work experiences to consolidate theory with real-world insights for career planning. Spencer led a student consulting project for RCR Mining Technologies and NRW Civil and Mining, crafting an apprentice retention strategy that impressed industry leaders and opened avenues for future partnerships. Positioned in the Management & Marketing discipline, she fosters skills in influencing behavior, organizational change strategies, and personal branding, empowering future business leaders with hands-on projects and internships.
