Overcoming Constraints in Animal Science (ANSC315)

Learning outcomes

Upon completion of this unit, students will be able to:

1. demonstrate a broad and deep knowledge of animal science and its environmental and social constraints, and integrate knowledge of multiple animal science disciplines and the interactions between these constraints to provide informed solutions to complex problems in animal science;
2. demonstrate a coherent understanding of animal science by articulating its role and methods and explaining how issues and knowledge in animal science are contestable and testable by creative inquiry;
3. critically analyse and solve complex problems in animal science by gathering, synthesising and critically evaluating information from a range of sources, designing and conducting investigations;
4. exercise strategic thinking and judgement in planning and presenting a clear, coherent and independent exposition of knowledge and ideas;
5. select and apply practical and/or theoretical techniques or tools in order to conduct an investigation, collecting, accurately recording, interpreting and drawing conclusions from data, and proposing and critically analysing a range of solutions;
6. effectively synthesise and communicate animal science results, information or arguments, using a range of modes for a variety of purposes and audiences; and
7. prepare and present a reflective learning portfolio of the development of their skills and knowledge capacity through their practical and educational experiences.
