Program and Course Learning Objective Alignment

Pretend you are a faculty member who is developing an online course titled, “[COURSE TITLE]” which is offered in a [PROGRAM NAME] program. The [PROGRAM NAME] PLOs (defined as program level outcomes or program level objectives) are:

1. [PLO 1]
2. [PLO 2]
3. [PLO 3]
4. [PLO 4, etc.]

Your course’s CLOs (defined as course level outcomes or course level objectives) are:

1. [CLO 1]
2. [CLO 2]
3. [CLO 3]
4. [CLO 4, etc.]

In a table where each program learning outcome is the title of a column and each course learning outcome is the title of a row, recommend alignment. To recommend alignment, place an “x” in the cell where the course learning objective/outcome best supports the students’ completion of a program learning objective/outcome.

Restate the objectives as they are given and do not edit them in any way. You must indicate alignment within each row at least once but may indicate alignment to multiple PLOs if there is alignment present. Below the table, provide your justification for those alignment decision in a few brief bullet points.
