Learning outcomes and graduate attributes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

GA1: Intellectual rigour, GA2: Creativity, GA3: Ethical practice, GA4: Knowledge of a discipline, GA5: Lifelong learning, GA6: Communication and social skills, GA7: Cultural competence
Learning outcome count Learning outcome description GA1 GA2 GA3 GA4 GA5 GA6 GA7
1 outline fundamental chemical and biochemical concepts
2 describe the physical and chemical characteristics of major classes of biological molecules
3 summarise the core metabolic pathways and apply this to changing conditions
4 apply evidence about the regulation of related metabolic pathways in response to exercise
5 discuss findings from laboratory experimental data
6 outline cellular mechanisms responsible for adaptations post exercise
