The Subject Outline serves as the learning and teaching agreement between the University and enrolled students.
It provides details about the subject, the subject coordinator, assessment items, teaching strategies and the specific conditions that must be met by students in order to obtain a passing grade in the subject.
An Outline must be created for each offering of a subject.
The Subject Outline Tool (SOT) assists the process of creating a Subject Outline by automatically bringing in subject and institutional data, such as learning outcomes and academic policies, so that you do not need to replicate this information.
