Assessment of Outcomes Achieved in a Course / Paper. That is, Learning Outcome Assessment Alignment Grid.

Learning Outcome Course/Project How Learning Will Be Assessed Resources Attainment Level To complete the alignment grid, start by listing one learning outcome per row beneath the “Learning Outcome” column. Make sure that each learning outcome can be assessed by a single method.

Next, beneath the "Course/ Project" column, list the course(s) or project(s) or assignments or tests that students will complete in order to achieve the learning outcome.

In the "How Learning Will Be Assessed" column, list the assessment(s) tool that will be used for that particular learning outcome. It is fine for there to be more than one assessment used for a particular outcome, so long as each assessment captures the outcome in its entirety. Likewise, it is fine for a single assessment to be used for multiple outcomes.

In the column entitled "Resources", list any additional materials, technologies, or resources needed for students to meet the learning outcome.

In the column entitled "Attainment Level", list in a quantifiable manner the average attainment level.

Every teacher must make this sheet for every paper taught. Be that a paper with only theory component, only practical component or with both theory and practical component.
