Learning Activities

• Courses must, at a minimum, cover the core learning outcomes for each topic. Faculty mayadd to these outcomes but may not omit any of them.
• Lab safety and equipment orientation and enforcement of safety protocols is each facultymember’s responsibility.
• Since all general education outcomes are supported by specific course and programoutcomes, all instructors should include learning activities that develop these outcomes in theircourses and identify them in course syllabi. Instructors should describe how these activities willbe evaluated in their course syllabi and/or reflected in their gradebooks.

Assessments
Exams include closed book tests and online quizzes.
