Student Learning Outcomes reflect the curriculum, and as curriculum evolves, learning outcomes change. Three guiding principles frame the review of existing SLOs: recency, relevance, and rigor.
Recency has to do with the degree to which the outcome reflects current knowledge and practice in the discipline.
Relevance is the degree to which the outcome relates logically and significantly to the discipline.
Rigor has to do with the degree of academic precision and thoroughness required for the outcome to be met successfully.
Program faculty are responsible for establishing the recency, relevance, and rigor of the SLOs for their degree programs.
