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:

describe and explain physics concepts as they relate to biomedical science and human health

apply analytic and problem solving skills to evaluate mathematical problems

demonstrate knowledge of mathematics applied to chemistry

apply mathematical concepts to statistical analysis of data
