(Very Important Standard -- 2 points)

Expectations

• 1. Use of an alignment table can be useful to illustrate this to students. In the example below (see Examples below), the learning objective/outcome is stated along with how it will be assessed. If your department, school/college, university or accrediting organization requires specific objectives/outcomes--NCATE, or AACSB, for example--those would be placed in the "Standards/Code" section.

  2. Instructions to students can take various forms (e.g. narratives, bulleted lists, charts) and may appear at different levels within the course, such as module-based or weekly assignment sheets. Instructions should be clear and complete.

  3. Information should indicate which learning activities, resources, assignments, and assessments support the learning objectives (see Examples below).
