In the second step of the assessment cycle, faculty develop learning outcomes for their programs' required courses and map the curriculum. A curriculum map is a graphical illustration of the relationship between a program’s course learning outcomes (CLO's) and its program learning outcomes (PLO's). By mapping the curriculum, faculty ensure that students have sufficient educational opportunities to develop the PLO's.
This page provides an array of resources to help you map your curriculum. If you want additional help, please contact the Office of Assessment and Accreditation at assessment@ewu.edu.
