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:

execute a previously developed research plan, adapting the plan if necessary as the research proceeds, and working within the available time and resource constraints

collect, arrange and critically analyse results at a standard expected for publishable research

critically evaluate research results in the context of existing knowledge

communicate research outcomes through an original research paper prepared in the style of a peer-reviewed academic journal

communicate research outcomes through a short seminar and poster prepared in the style for a typical academic research conference.
