III. Discussion Items
1.
Course Learning Objectives/Core Content Relation
Kathy discussed the origin of the decision to link objectives to core content numerically. This was a
college decision many years ago and has just never been changed. Committee members commented that
they felt the number of objectives should not have to be matched numerically as long as the content
reflected a relationship with the stated objectives. It was decided that this issue would be brought back
to the next meeting as an action item.
