Course outcomes or learning outcomes are statements of what a learner is expected to know, understand and/or be able to demonstrate after completion of a process of learning.

Bloom’s taxonomy is frequently used for writing learning outcomes, since it provides a ready-made structure and list of verbs.

1.Knowledge

2. Comprehension

3. Application

4. Analysis

5. Synthesis

6. Evaluation

- At the end of the course, students will be able to

1. Describe different data structures. (Knowledge)

2. Identify various applications of data structures. (Comprehension)

3. Select a particular data structure and algorithm to solve a problem. (Application)

4. Develop programs to perform various operations on data structures like searching, sorting, insertion, deletion, traversing mechanism etc. (Application)

Begin each learning outcome with an action verb, followed by the object of the verb followed by a phrase that gives the context.

Use only one verb per learning outcome.

Avoid vague terms like know, understand, learn, be familiar with, be exposed to, be acquainted with, and be aware of. These terms are associated with teaching objectives rather than learning outcomes.

Avoid complicated sentences. If necessary use more one than one sentence to ensure clarity.

Ensure that the learning outcomes of the module relate to the overall outcomes of the programme.

The learning outcomes must be observable and measurable.

Ensure that the earning outcomes are capable of being assessed.

When writing learning outcomes, bear in mind the timescale within which the outcomes are to be achieved.

As you work on writing the learning outcomes, bear the mind how these outcomes will be assessed, i.e. how will you know if the student has achieved these learning outcomes? If the learning outcomes are very broad, they may be difficult to assess effectively. If the learning outcomes are very narrow, the list of learning outcomes may be too long and detailed.

Before finalising the learning outcomes, ask your colleagues and possibly former students if the learning outcomes make sense to them.

When writing learning outcomes, for students at levels beyond first year, try to avoid overloading the list with learning outcomes which are drawn from the bottom of Bloom’s taxonomy ( e.g. Knowledge and Comprehension) .Try to challenge the students to use what they have learned by including some learning outcomes drawn from the higher categories (e.g. Application, Analysis, Synthesis and Evaluation)

1)Direct method Tests, lab experiments, assignments,

project work, tutorials. 2)Indirect method Course exit survey at the end of the course.
