Suggestion for SACS

• Each program should devise four or five main goals for student learning. (What do you want graduates to know when they leave FSU?)

• Remember, they must be measurable, quantifiable goals consistent with the mission.

Requests of Each Program4. Programs will receive a Course Level

that are evidence of learning); TaskStream

Curriculum Alignment• Make sure that Course Objectives within

syllabi are consistent with the program goals.

• Many answers are found within the syllabi. A few may need to update the language. (Colleagues teaching the same classes should share/divide the task.)

• Plan to measure whether future graduates have accomplished these goals.

useful information (curriculum alignment, course objectives, student learning outcomes, rubrics, artifacts, organizational map, etc.)
