Learning

At UW-Madison, we support the Wisconsin Experience through a series of Essential Learning Outcomes. Not every course addresses every learning outcome, but we strive to frame our course assignments and assessments in terms of these learning outcomes when possible. This table lists the general assessment criteria for the five assignments for this course and demonstrates how they relate to the Essential Learning Outcomes.
