Graduate Attributes Case Study Submission

         
  As part of the University's Graduate Attributes Project, the Working Group Members are developing a set of case studies of best practice that describe the teaching and learning strategies by which graduate attributes are developed in units of study offered by the faculty. Contributions are now also being invited from other Universities. The case study bank will form a resource that will support staff in engaging with the new graduate attributes, and in communicating to staff and students what has often been implicit about the teaching and learning of graduate attributes, as well as promoting interdisciplinary and inter-University dialogue.

To contribute a case study, please complete and submit the form below, in consultation with your Faculty representative (who may have already asked you to submit one). Your Faculty rep will then check and authorise your case study for the website. You can see examples of case studies that have already been collected here. If you are submitting a case study from outside the University of Sydney, please specify which University you are from.

More information on the Graduate Attributes project is available here or by contacting your Dean's nominee on the Working Group.
