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

1 analyse situations and apply suitable mathematical skills in problem solving
2 interpret numerical situations (including graphs, tables, figures, statistical summaries) and derive meaning
3 show proficiency in the use of mathematical skills in areas such as number, measurement, basic algebra, exponents, and statistics.
4 communicate in a structured and logical sequence, the steps to a solution
5 state limitations, acknowledge assumptions made and comment on the practicality of the solution used and be able to examine the suitability of alternative solutions to problems.
