Learning outcomes

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:

explain a theory-based understanding and knowledge of the role of literacy and numeracy in education

analyse the literacy and numeracy demands upon students together with other available data to identify areas of individual need
