Course goals or learning objectives/outcomes (knowledge, skills, and attitudes/perspectives) to be attained by students at time of successful completion of course
These should be stated to make clear what students will know, be able to do, or the perspective they will acquire in the course experience. The goals should align with but not necessarily be identical to any program learning goals the course is associated with (e.g., major, general education, graduate degree).
Departments are encouraged to work with their college's curricular associate dean for guidance on how to complete this section. For more information on developing course goals and other course design topics, contact the Michael V. Drake Institute for Teaching and Learning for consulting services, workshops, and recommended readings.
