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:

critically evaluate and appropriately apply scientific research techniques and methodologies to derive original research data

critically evaluate and interpret research data with respect to relevant scientific and management knowledge, theories and issues

present research findings in forms that are appropriate in academic settings and for the general public
