/ Your Students’ Learning Experiences and Evidence to Meet the OSC025Learning Outcomes / Time on Each Outcome
Please provide in details the learning and assessment activities and exercises that students undergo in order to meet all of the learning outcomes. You (as a faculty member) are presenting one representative sample syllabus that best describes your institution’s course. Listing specific examples in your narratives below does not mean that the review panel is expecting other faculty at your institution teaching the same course to use the same methodologies/assessments. However, once the review panel approves a submission, the equivalent rigor from the presented learning activities to meet each TAG outcome is expected from other faculty. So please provide details about assignments and how each assignment meets the listed student learning outcomes. / Estimate the time spent on each learning outcome. If you use percentages, please make sure that the total percentage comes to be 100%.
A minimum of 70% of the Student Learning Outcomes, including an essential outcome marked with an asterisk (*), must be met.
