Assessment brief, criteria, and rubric.
This assignment outlines course learning outcomes (CLOs) requirements,
which you will use during your future industry-related experience.
On successful completion of this course, you should be able to:
CLO 1. Understanding science:
1.1. You will demonstrate a coherent understanding of biological sciences by articulating the
methods of science and explaining why current biological knowledge is both contestable and
testable through further inquiry.
1.2. You will demonstrate a coherent understanding of biological sciences by explaining the
role and relevance of biological sciences in society.
CLO 2. Scientific knowledge:
2.1. You will exhibit depth and breadth of knowledge by demonstrating a well-developed
understanding of biological sciences.
2.2. You will exhibit depth and breadth of knowledge by demonstrating that biotechnology has
interdisciplinary connections with other sciences.
CLO 3. Inquiry and problem-solving:
3.1. You will be able to critically analyse and solve problems in biotechnology by gathering,
synthesizing and critically evaluating information from a range of sources.
3.2. You will be able to critically analyse and solve problems in biotechnology by designing
and planning an investigation, including developing a testable hypothesis.
3.3. You will be able to critically analyse and solve problems in biotechnology by selecting and
applying practical and/or theoretical techniques with technical competence in conducting field,
laboratory-based, or virtual experiments.
3.4. You will be able to critically analyse and solve problems in biotechnology by collecting,
accurately recording, interpreting, and drawing conclusions from scientific data.
CLO 4. Communication: You will be an effective communicator of biological sciences by
effectively communicating scientific results, information, or arguments using a range of modes
(oral, written, visual) for a variety of purposes and audiences.
CLO 5. Personal and professional responsibility: You will be accountable for individual
learning and scientific work in biotechnology by being an independent and self-directed learner.
