GVSU Assessment of Student Centered Outcomes (SCO)
As we transition from using WEAVE online to a different system to report Student Learning Outcomes* (SLOs), we are utilizing a Word template to record each unit’s SLOs for the 2016-2017 academic year. Please add any additional SLOs as needed, however we ask that you focus on 2-4 SLOs per academic year. If you would like to look at data from past years, please refer to the attachment which outlines how to download your reports from WEAVE. If you have any questions, please contact Chris Plouff at or (616) 331-2400.
While planning your Student Centered Outcomes, suggested references include:
  • High Impact Practices
  • Learning Reconsidered
  • Council on the Advancement of Standards (CAS) in Higher Education
  • Other recognized resource in your field
