Student Centered
Learning outcomes are student centered statements of what students will know or be able to do.
Learning outcomes are not student centered, instead indicating what the department or instructors will do.
Level of Thinking
Level of Thinking
Learning outcomes culminate in the highest (appropriate) levels of thinking.
Learning outcomes primarily focus on what students will know or understand, but not how they will use that knowledge or understanding.
Curriculum Coverage
Curriculum Coverage
The number of outcomes is reasonable to cover essential learning within the program. There are not too many outcomes (suggesting that some can be combined) or too few (suggesting that outcomes need to be unpacked).
Presence or absence of outcome identified for each of the Core Learning Outcomes.

Examples of Fully Met for Student Centered, Level of Thinking, and Curriculum Coverage
In the above example,
Statements are student centered, indicate that midshipmen are the actors, what it is that they will be able to do and also that the demonstration of the learning outcomes is expected at the completion of the major's curriculum
The verbs are measurable (not vague; e.g., understand or appreciate) and culminate in higher order thinking skills; e.g., application, analysis, and evaluation generally appropriate for outcomes within a majors program
The learning outcomes, while aligning with areas like communication and problem-solving, are expressed in a manner that highlights the particular discipline
Conversations with the department and an examination of the curriculum map show progression across the curriculum
In the above example,
Statements are student centered and indicate that the actions are to be demonstrated by midshipmen
The sub-outcomes indicate how midshipmen will demonstrate the expected learning and where in the curriculum this is expected to occur
The actions midshipmen will undertake are consistent with higher order thinking skills generally appropriate for core courses; e.g., knowledge, comprehension, and analysis
The outcomes highlight the discipline in which they are being expressed
