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:

examine key psychological concepts in contemporary terms appropriate to a range of socially and culturally diverse people

identify links between psychological theory, research, and personal experience and express those orally and in writing using appropriate conventions

recognise areas of debate in psychology and propose basic strategies for evaluating the relative strength of arguments

demonstrate the ability to work collaboratively to generate, test, and refine ideas drawing upon evidence
