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:

understand how disturbance and forest regeneration form the basis of forest management

describe native silvicultural systems of Eucalypt and other forests

analyse how regulations apply to silvicultural systems and management objectives

evaluate and design native silvicultural systems for forest production, restoration, and conservation outcomes.
