Course Student Learning Outcomes
Course Student Learning Outcomes (CSLOs) or Chains of Courses for Specific Skills Framework
Recognizing that certain skills or foundational understandings extend beyond a single assignment or class scope, this assessment strategy involves evaluating multiple courses or a series of classes. Some departments may integrate this into several courses, while others may utilize specific assessments or tests required for progression to upper-division classes. The implementation of Canvas Outcomes facilitates tracking skill development and course-related content mastery.
Key Questions Addressed:
- Are students attaining proficiency in the required foundational skills to advance?
- Is skill development aligned with program objectives consistently across student groups?
- Are students demonstrating appropriate progress at crucial points in the course?
Primary Constituents:
- Individual Faculty
