Identifying Student Learning Goals For Required Management Courses

Friday, March 11, 2005 Notes regarding the changes made in this and previous versions of this document: 1. Student learning goals suggested by faculty for each of the required management major

courses have now been summarized below for review.

2. All suggested changes and additions to course goals have been moved to an appendix section at the end of the document. All the suggestions made by faculty in response to my previous calls for comments have been included.

a. Changes appearing in version 4 of this document (“Student learning goals for MGMT courses v004.doc”) are highlighted in blue like this.

b. Changes appearing in version 3 of this document (“Student learning goals for MGMT courses v003.doc”) are highlighted in yellow like this.

3. An observation was made following the distribution of version 3 that in different courses, goals are articulated as “what the students should learn from the course” or “what the instructor intends to deliver”. A suggestion was made to rewrite all course goals to make them consistent with an idea of “what we would expect the students to know, or skills they would have” as a result of taking each course.

a. In response to this comment, I revised a few of the course goals to reflect “what students should know or be able to do” after taking the course.

4. An observation was made following the distribution of version 3 that some of the course goals listed are very vague and attainment of those goals could be difficult to measure. A suggestion was made that course goals should be examined for the degree of difficulty in defining appropriate measures; this may necessitate the rewriting of some course goals.
