Learner outcomes, activities, &
assessment
(Form is at end)
The following samples are not all-inclusive; you may have more or fewer learner outcomes. The
Curriculum Committee is most interested in a progression of learner outcomes from lower-level to
higher outcomes based on their appropriateness for lower-division and upper-division courses:
Knowledge  Comprehension  Application  Analysis  Synthesis  Evaluation. Additionally, the
Curriculum Committee wants to see a match between learner outcomes and assessments.
Learner Outcomes verbs are highlighted in this document to gain reader attention. A list of acceptable
verbs, arranged in progression, is at the end of this document. You do not need to highlight your verbs in
your documents. Additionally, you need only to submit the table matrix with your materials.
Definitions:
Learner Outcome – what the student should be able to accomplish in the course. Learner Outcomes
begin with “The student will be able to . . . .” and are measurable.
Activity – listing an appropriate activity for the learner outcome is optional. However, listing an activity
might help you determine the difference between an activity based on the learner outcome and an
assessment of the meeting of that learner outcome.
Assessment – how you will determine if the student meet the learner outcome and to what extent the
learner outcome was met. An assessment is a measurement of an outcome.
