Problem
While reviewing student survey results for the past year, you have noticed a trend in students feeling like some of the work they did in their courses was only busywork. You have also heard that different faculty members teach the same courses, but the content is very different. You want to reach out to your faculty members and share the importance of student learning outcomes and how they affect curricular planning. To help organize yourself, you need to do some further research.
i. Provide a brief review of the literature on developing student learning outcomes, curriculum, assessments, and program evaluations, including current trends.
ii. Discuss strategies and best practices for developing effective student learning outcomes, curriculum, assessments, and program evaluations.
iii. Explain the value of student learning outcomes on effective educational practice.
iv. Analyze what impact student learning outcomes have on curricular planning.
