Implicit Assumptions about Subject Outcomes

while all courses ought to contribute to a range of generic professional skills, as well as specific academic outcomes, this is particularly important in 300 level subjects completed just prior to entering the work force;
development of generic skills such as scholarly research skills, knowledge management skills, critical analysis skills are important outcomes of this course;
students are expected to develop a broad understanding of the parameters of scholarly debates in the subject area not an exhaustive understanding of specific theories;
such a broad understanding can be understood as being able to recognise and use a series of navigation markers in the academic literature;
from this set of markers students are expected to be able to develop a preliminary yet appropriately rigorous framework in which to situate and evaluate their own professional practice;
there is a particular emphasis on theoretically informed case-study method as a way of relating theory to practice and students are expected to develop both practical skills in the gathering and analysis of case-study data and conceptual skills in relating theory to empirical data;
