• Aligned with the program outcomes
  • Use the program's curriculum map as a guide.
• Realistic
  • Make sure the action verb and skill/knowledge is appropriate for the course level
• Time-bound
  • For course-level outcomes, can the outcome be successfully achieved by the end of the term?
  • For program-level outcomes, are the outcomes scaffold to help students develop progressively higher skill levels by the time they graduate..
