Core Data - Iterating through the attributes of a NSManagedObject

I am a noob at core data, so here goes.

I have a core data object, for example student.

The student has mane attributes, like name, age, dob, address, and so on.

Now I need to display all these attributes into a table view.

Is there any easy way to iterate through the object student? Or do I have to convert the data into some type of dictionary?

If I need to convert it to a dictionary is there any support for it? Or do I have to write the function my self.

Many thanks for your help, Stephen
