II.4 Learning outcomes are articulated and specified on the module/unit level.

◌ Recommended Standard

Expectations

• 1. Try to associate your module goals/outcomes with your overall course outcomes so that the students can immediately see how the work they are doing on a particular chapter or assignment will help them achieve their course goals/outcomes. (see Examples below)

  2. Learning outcomes at this level can be from the text or written by you, but should align with the course outcomes either way.

  3. Module-level outcomes should precisely describe the specific competencies, skills, and knowledge that students should be able to master and demonstrate at regular intervals throughout the course and should provide students with greater focus and clarity of learning expectations and outcomes on a weekly, modular, or unit basis.

Examples

• • "In module one, you will identify the basic symptoms of the flu virus. You will recognize and diagnose this common ailment. This will partially fulfill the first course outcome of recognizing and diagnosing the most common clinical ailments."
