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: | |
|---|---|
| 1 | analyze problems and determine the appropriate solution |
| 2 | assess the suitability of data structures and algorithms for use in computational thinking |
| 3 | develop programs that use existing algorithms to solve problems |
| 4 | design and develop algorithms to solve problems using appropriate data structures. |
On completion of this unit, students should be able to:
- analyze problems and determine the appropriate solution
- assess the suitability of data structures and algorithms for use in computational thinking
- develop programs that use existing algorithms to solve problems
- design and develop algorithms to solve problems using appropriate data structures.
