What does an SLO look like?
SLOs use active words to demonstrate the degree to which students are internalizing the lessons of their coursework. According to Bloom’s Taxonomy, the greater the level of abstraction to which students can demonstrate their newly acquired knowledge, the more thoroughly the knowledge has been acquired. If you want your students to acquire and demonstrate one of the skills listed in Bloom’s Taxonomy — Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, Evaluation — use a corresponding verb from the chart linked here.
