Learning Outcomes and Course Goals<\/span><\/p>\n The Undergraduate Learning Outcomes are demonstrable statements of what students know, are, or can do upon completion of a WOU undergraduate degree.<\/p>\n Undergraduate Learning Outcomes<\/a><\/p>\n The Graduate Learning Outcomes are demonstrable statements of what students know, are, or can do upon completion of a WOU graduate degree.<\/p>\n Graduate Learning Outcomes<\/a><\/p>\n Demonstrable student learning outcomes in the General Education Program that can be determined either quantitatively or qualitatively.<\/p>\n General Education Learning Outcomes<\/a><\/p>\n Every academic program has student learning outcomes, what students know, are, or can do upon completion of the major or program. In the 2025-26 and 2026-27 academic years, the Office of Academic Effectiveness will be supporting programs to align their course student learning outcomes (AKA, course goals) with their program learning outcomes. Programs that have completed Academic Program Review in the last two years have developed these maps. Please check back here as we work with program faculty on publishing these alignment tables. In the mean time, Program Student Learning Outcomes are published in the catalog<\/a> each year!<\/span><\/p>\n Course Goals are course-level student learning outcomes. They are statements of what students know, are, or can do by the end of a specific course. Whether or not students meet the Course Goals should be able to be measured quantitively or qualitatively. Course goals should inform one or more Program Learning Outcome and Undergraduate Learning Outcome and\/or General Education Learning Outcome as applicable.<\/p>\n Use this link to look up 2025-26 course goals<\/a>. The first tab of the spreadsheet contains the comprehensive list of courses with course goals exported from the old curriculum management syystem. On this tab, you can also see how the course goals align to Undergraduate and General Education Learning Outcomes. The course goals have also been broken out by prefix or subject code. Click on the tab with the prefix or subject code of the course you are teaching to find the course goals for that course.<\/p>\n This page will be updated with information about how to modify or add course student learning outcomes (AKA, course goals) in the new curriculum management system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Learning Outcomes and Course Goals Undergraduate…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"Outcomes and Goals | Academic Effectiveness","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"Learning Outcomes and Course Goals<\/span>\r\nUndergraduate Learning Outcomes<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Program Outcomes<\/h5>\r\nEvery academic program has student learning outcomes, what students know, are, or can do upon completion of the degree. You can find those outcomes at this link: <\/span>WOU\u00a0Program Learning Outcomes<\/a>\r\n
Course Goals<\/h5>\r\nCourse Goals are statements of what students know, are, or can do by the end of a specific course. Whether or not students meet the Course Goals should be able to be measured quantitively or qualitatively. At least one course goal should connect to at least one Program Learning Outcome, Undergraduate Learning Outcome, Graduate Learning Outcome, or General Education Learning Outcome. <\/span>\r\n\r\nUse this link to look up course goals<\/a>. You can also see how the course goals align to Program, Undergraduate, Graduate, and General Education Learning Outcomes.\r\n\r\nUse this link<\/a><\/span> to watch a video on how to identify courses with missing Course Goals and how to create new Course Goals!<\/span>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
