Student learning objectives
should be directly
connected to outcome
measures so that students
may understand their
accomplishments.
“Close the loop” by
reflecting on how well
students are doing in
meeting the student
learning objectives; do the
objectives need to be
changed; do the measures
need to be changed; do our
methods need to be
changed?
