Review Questions

  • Where is an outcome assessed only once or too late?
  • Which courses carry too many program outcomes?
  • Where do learners practice before a high-stakes assessment?
  • Are there outcomes with no clear evidence artifact?
  • Do prerequisites support the expected level of performance?
