Seminar on Developing Learning Outcomes
1. The seminar activities most useful to my courses are:
� Discovering valuable, clear and transparent objectives, in communicating with students, organizing my ideas, avoiding redundancy and gaps
� The part of rewriting course objectives in terms of GIO's and SLO's
� Yes
� Critical thinking
� Some clarification of difference between GIO and SLO
� Discussion and refinements of my course syllabi in light of the information provided in seminar
� Handouts (slides provided), direct exercise applications
2. The new ideas I got from the seminar are:
� To articulate objectives that not only by ability with analytic methods and problem solving, but by clear statements on the syllabus.
� Use rigor even in the simplest tasks
� GIO, SLO think of what are the component of my courses and what do I want students to come out with than organize them under GIO, SLO
� Structure is not that bad
� Learning outcomes should be focused on one outcome each
� Importance of refining course objectives and learning outcomes into more specific formulations
� How to set up objectives for a course and traning
3. Suggestions to improve today's seminar:
� Start with description of what issues will be addressed, and what will not be addressed.
� Include more activities ( maybe a couple more)
� Don't get hanged over obtrusive comments in class that might derail the course of the seminar
� It was alright�� mind sparing
� Finish presentation faster then open floor for discussion
� Including one example ( in full) relating to a specific course and to illustrate GIOs and SLOs
� None
4. Other comments:
� As above, maybe include a detailed description of the issues (non issues) in the instruction to prevent anyone from being confused or disappointed.
� The info in some slides appears to be more complex than it actually is.
� Change the layout of the slides (the background) good work and thank you for your time, we appreciate it
� I enjoyed it. I was not sure about this when I signed for it�. But I didn't regret it.
� I liked the facilitation and the seminar was generally useful
� Perfect topics, excellent lecturer / moderators, more and more sessions.
