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:

  1. Are students attaining proficiency in the required foundational skills to advance?
  2. Is skill development aligned with program objectives consistently across student groups?
  3. Are students demonstrating appropriate progress at crucial points in the course?

Primary Constituents:

  • Individual Faculty
  • Students
  • Department Committees and Chair
  • Deans
