Syllabi Stating Learner Outcomes

Learner Outcomes Home > Program Structure > Syllabi Stating Learner Outcomes


Our syllabi are listed on the College of Family and Consumer Sciences ClassWeb, which is updated each semester. All of our instructors have been asked to list course outcomes, and how these outcomes are assessed, on the syllabi for their courses. Current ClassWeb postings of FSHN course syllabi can be accessed.

The department has completed a curriculum map illustrating which outcomes are accomplished in each course. A 0-3 scale is used, with 0 = “don’t do this at all” and 3 = “this is a major focus of the course”. The curriculum map was discussed at a recent faculty retreat and has been reviewed by the FSHN Outcomes Assessment and Curriculum Committees. The curriculum map has been used to develop changes in courses and curriculum to meet department outcomes.

The form used by faculty to report their focus on department outcomes is also discussed in the section on Direct and Indirect Measure.
