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 | analyse the execution of a program or code segment to determine the output of the code. |
| 2 | modify an existing program or code segment to achieve an intended outcome. |
| 3 | design or select suitable data structures and algorithms for a problem. |
| 4 | apply algorithmic thinking and programming techniques in solving simplified computational problems. |
On completion of this unit, students should be able to:
- analyse the execution of a program or code segment to determine the output of the code.
- modify an existing program or code segment to achieve an intended outcome.
- design or select suitable data structures and algorithms for a problem.
- apply algorithmic thinking and programming techniques in solving simplified computational problems.
