Curriculum has Program Outcome (PO)

Courses has Learning Outcome (LO)

LO & PO are structured around-

Blooms Taxonomy Pyramid

Structure of LO

After the completion of this course, students will be able to…..

Action Verb + Course specific text

There is a direct link between the Outcome of the Cognitive Domains and Action Verbs
Catagorizing Courses based on LO
Breaking down the LO of each course to find the
Action verb will indicate the Domain from which the
outcome is expected.

Domain:
Evaluating

Based on the concentration of LO of a course in the higher to

lower cognitive domains, A course can be classified as the
following:

I. Category X: Higher Cognitive level courses

II. Category Y: Mid Cognitive level courses

III. Category Z: Lower Cognitive level courses
