Writing Student Learning Outcomes
preheaderMasthead Learning at Chapman
Student learning outcomes (SLOs) for courses and degree programs are developed by
faculty. They are action-based statements that describe what a student should be able
to as a result of a course or program. SLOs should be specific, observable, and measurable.
Effective student learning outcomes should:
Describe what a student can do as a result of a course or program.
Be concise and specific. Learning outcomes that are overly complex or include multiple
outcomes may be difficult to measure and assess.
Follow the Bloom’s Taxonomy hierarchy and include action verbs specific to the level
of proficiency expected of students.
Avoid using verbs that are not observable such as “appreciate” or “understand.”
Be regularly assessed and revised to ensure they are relevant, specific, and representative
of the intended skills and knowledge students are expected to develop.
