Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
1. demonstrate through the process of design a basic understanding of ecosystem restoration, using the principles of landscape engineering.
2. demonstrate through the design process a knowledge of a range of technical issues associated with derelict land.
3. develop a creative resolution through design at a range of scales and strategically over time. |
Assessment Information
| Students must pass all learning outcomes. The aggregation of failed Learning outcomes with passing learning outcomes to generate an overall pass mark is not permitted. Failure of one learning outcome will result in a Forced Fail (FF) outcome. Students are permitted two attempts to pass this course. |
