Outcomes

The word outcomes refers to what we want students to be able to do as a result of engagement in our courses and programs. Outcomes look different depending on the level and specific content; the more specific the level, the more specific the outcome. For example, course outcomes are more specific than program or discipline outcomes, which are more specific still than institution-level outcomes. For more information and guidance in writing and/or revising outcomes at any level, see Step 1 of the Assessment Cycle and the Outcomes Writing & Revision page (also linked below).
