Course Objectives vs. SLOs

“Nuts and Bolts”

Faculty-oriented

What you will cover, or present

The “input”

Numerous, specific

and detailed

“Big picture”

Student-focused

What student will be able to do

The “output”

Fewer (3 – 6), broad, observable

Page 5: Identify Learning Outcomes Identify/Create Assessment Tools Choose/Develop Evaluation Criteria Conduct Assessment Use Results for Improvement Student Learning.

SLOs focus on:

• student learning, rather than instruction

• learning that will endure, but that can be assessed in some form now

• the learning resulting from an activity, not the activity itself

• active, observable, and measurable behaviors.

Identifying Learning Outcomes

What do you intend students to know,

believe, or do once they have completed

your program or course?

Page 7: Identify Learning Outcomes Identify/Create Assessment Tools Choose/Develop Evaluation Criteria Conduct Assessment Use Results for Improvement Student Learning.

Course Objectives - Nutrition

• Review nutritional recommendations and components

• Discuss differences in nutritional requirements re: sex, age, activity

• Describe causes and consequences of nutritional problems

• Explain complications of underlying physical conditions

• Describe resources and strategies to treat nutritional disorders.

Course SLO – Nutrition(what the student will be able to

do at the end of this course)

A student will be able to analyze a documented

nutritional problem, determine a strategy to

correct the problem, and write a draft nutritional

policy addressing the broader scope of the

problem.

Correct wording of SLOs:

Upon successful completion of (insert name

of course) the student will be able to

(insert instructional measurable verb)

_____________ (fill in the blank).

Measurable Verbs:

• Cognitive – What knowledge is essential to student success in your course or program??

• Affective – What dispositions are essential to student success in your course or program??

• Psychomotor – What performances are essential to student success in your course or program??

Examples:

Too Narrow and Specific:

– Students will be able to conjugate the verb “avoir” using the worksheet provided.

– Students will read a passage on Paul Bunyan and identify unfamiliar words.

– Students will list three manufacturers of network operating systems.
