These outcomes are carefully crafted to align with the overall goals and objectives of the course, ensuring that you are equipped with the necessary tools to succeed.

The learning outcomes for this course align with the content, activities, and assessments you will encounter, enabling you to track your growth and identify improvement opportunities.
