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.

1 discuss collection and storage of research data appropriate to own research project
2 critically discuss research findings in a clear, concise, accurate and objective manner
3 generate a concise, objective and appropriately formatted results section of a journal manuscript
4 discuss dissemination of research findings applicable to the research project
