Writing Student Learning Outcomes

Student Learning Outcomes

Write 1 sentence that describes a major piece of knowledge, skill, ability, or attitude that students can demonstrate (DO) by the end of the course.  Don’t think about content or coverage – consider what students should be able to DO with what they’ve learned by the end of the quarter.  How will they demonstrate this?  What can they produce to show faculty that they have learned to apply their new knowledge?  Describe the broadest goals for the class, ones that require higher-level thinking abilities.  Require students to synthesize many discreet skills or areas of content.  Ask them to produce something – papers, projects, portfolios, demonstrations, performances, art works, exams, etc. – that applies what they have learned.
