This document discusses student learning outcomes and provides examples. It defines student learning outcomes as the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and habits students are expected to acquire. It lists characteristics of good learning outcomes and provides a sample for mathematics. It also describes three types of learning outcomes: cognitive, psychomotor, and affective. For each type, it lists categories and example verbs to describe different levels.

2. Student learning outcomes clearly state the expected knowledge, skills,
attitudes, competencies, and habits of mind that students are expected to
acquire at an institution of higher education.
• Specific to institutional level and/or program level.
• Clearly expressed and understandable by multiple audiences.
• Prominently posted at or linked to multiple places across the
website.
• Updated regularly to reflect current outcomes.
• Receptive to feedback or comments on the quality and utility
of the information provided.

3. Sample Expected Learning Outcomes Statements :
MATHEMATICS
Upon successful completion of Math 112 - Pre-Calculus, students will be able
to:
• Demonstrate algebraic facility with algebraic topics including linear,
quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions,
• Produce and interpret graphs of basic functions of these types,
• Solve equations and inequalities, both algebraically and graphically, and
• Solving and model applied problems.

4. Three types of learning outcomes:
 COGNITIVE
-> referring to acquired mental skills
 PSYCHOMOTOR
-> referring to acquired manual or physical skills
 AFFECTIVE
-> referring to acquired growth in feeling or emotion

5.  Referring to mental skills.
