Rubrics & Learning Outcomes

From the beginning, each of Cascadia's courses were designed as outcome based, utilizing a curricular design process which placed outcomes first. The Course Outcome Guides (COGs) developed for each course identify outcomes for both content and collegewide outcomes for each course. Distribution Area Learning Outcomes were imbedded into the courses and sequences. The Learning Outcomes Teams have begun the work to develop rubrics to assess the outcomes both in courses as well as across disciplines. As faculty began to use the COGs to build course content, a team developed syllabus guidelines. College 101 is a requirement for learners at Cascadia. A PowerPoint presentation entitled
