Academic Learning Compacts
Academic Learning Compacts identify the skills students should acquire if they follow their major's prescribed course of study. These skills, known collectively as Student Learning Outcomes, describe the core learning expectations in the areas of content knowledge and skills, communication skills and critical thinking skills that UF is required to assess for each baccalaureate degree program.
Faculty must consider perspectives of appropriate constituencies such as potential employers and graduate programs regarding the knowledge and skills graduates need in the global marketplace and society. They also must consider the types of assessments students may encounter in the degree program, such as capstone projects, juried performances, standardized exams, common embedded exam questions, portfolio requirements, etc.
Faculty also must develop methods for assessing student achievement of the expected core student learning outcomes specific to that major.
