PART I: COURSE‐LEVEL OUTCOMES – DATA RESULTS CONSIDER THE COURSE‐LEVEL OUTCOMES INDIVIDUALLY (THE NUMBER OF CLOS WILL DIFFER BY COURSE) (CLO) 1: Student will differentiate between Actual Scores** (eLumen data) Defined Target Scores* (CLO Goal) >75% 85% >75% 95% >75% 90% N/A behaviors that enhance health and those that are detrimental to health.

Our behavior change assignment has brought about real, tangible positive health changes to our students.

Reflection: Based on the data gathered, and considering your teaching experiences and your discussions with other faculty, what reflections and insights do you have? We are happy to report well above average scores with this CLO. It is an eye‐opener for students, since it teaches them that health is not merely the absence of disease (physical health), but a combination of physical, mental, spiritual, environmental, social, and intellectual perspective. It truly helps students approach health in a holistic way. D. COURSE‐LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 4: 1.
