Characteristics of Good Learning
Outcome
1) Very specific, and use verbs (that makes expectation clear). By being very
specific, it informs students of the standards by which they will be assessed,
and ensures that the students and instructor goals in the course are aligned.
2) Focused on the learner: rather than explaining what the instructor will do in
the course, good learning outcomes describe knowledge or skills that the
student will employ, and help the learner understand why that knowledge
and those skills are useful and valuable to their personal, professional , and
academic future.
 Are realistic: All passing students should be able to demonstrate the knowledge
or skill described by the learning outcome at the conclusion of the course. In this
way, learning outcomes establish standards for the course
 Focus on the Application and integration of acquired knowledge and skills : good
learning outcomes reflect and indicate the ways in which the described
knowledge and skills may be used by the learner now and in the future.
 Good learning outcomes prepare students for assessment and help them feel
engaged by the assessment and evaluation process.
 Offer a timeline for completion of the desired learning.
