CCR Submission Workshop: Preparing and Reviewing CCRs
PowerPoint Presentation from the CCR Submission Workshop
The Center for University Teaching, Learning, and Assessment will present a workshop on how to write behavioral, measurable student learning outcomes for use in course syllabi, course and program CCR submissions, and preparation of Academic Learning Compacts and Academic Learning Plans. We will also review recent modifications to the CCR submission process that reflect the need to align student learning outcomes described in the CCR process and outcomes that appear in published documents (syllabi, Academic Learning Compacts, Academic Learning Plans). Special attention will be given to writing learning outcomes that reflect expectations associated with lower level undergraduate courses, upper level undergraduate courses, and graduate courses. We will discuss the value of curriculum maps for communicating the role of specific courses in a curriculum when departments prepare a program change CCR. Faculty and chairs involved in the development or review of course and program CCRs (department chairs and members of curriculum review committees on College Councils and the Academic Council of the Faculty Senate) are especially encouraged to attend.
