You might think about these three (course syllabus, SLOs and assessment) as the key ingredients of a travel adventure. You’ve got a specific destination, a place you want to get to (SLO). You and your students travel along the educational highway seeing all the sights, taking in as much as you can, some of it you enjoy, some of it you don’t. The syllabus is like the travel guide on this trip. It tells students what to pay attention to and what’s around the bend. When it’s all over and you finally reach your destination, you examine where you are to see if it’s what you thought it would be (assessment). Happy travels!
