Cohen Honors Learning Outcomes

Pilot

A group of faculty met throughout academic year 2020-21 to develop an initial set of Honors outcomes and a rubric based on the student-written college charter, AAC&U VALUE rubrics, and feedback from students, faculty, and alumni. We’d like faculty to try to incorporate at least two outcomes total from two different pillars and let us know how they work for your course. At the end of the year, you’ll be invited to give feedback on the outcomes and the extent to which they worked in your course.
