Unit outlines

Unit outlines and term overviews are the top two layers of the program of learning for each CAL class. More details are provided via Google Classroom.

Unit outlines are posted on class pages (see below) in advance each semester and term overviews are posted at the start of each term, as soon as these are finalised. The unit outline for each unit provides a general unit description, a summary of unit goals, an overview of focus areas for reflection, and a schedule of assessment tasks with their categories, timing and weighting.
For more details about the course program for face-to-face sessions and work required outside the face-to-face sessions, please refer to the class portal on Google Classroom. Work completed outside face-to-face sessions forms part of the evidence for participation credits in the program.
