Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes are a way of spelling out what we hope you will learn as a result of doing this course. They also represent the things that will be important in assessing your coursework. If you are not sure what these learning outcomes are saying, let us know. It's important that we all agree on their meaning.

We've given each learning outcome a short title, to make it easier to cross-refer to them in other parts of the course description.
