How can you convey to students the importance of your courses and services areas while simultaneously raising their awareness of the competencies they are expected to possess upon graduating? In your handouts—syllabi, major projects, writing assignments— and digital media, reference the Institutional Student Learning Outcomes (ISLOs) with the easily downloadable icons available at http://skylinecollege.edu/sloac/isloicons.php .
Students will appreciate knowing which coursework and efforts outside the classroom help them to develop, practice, and ideally master competencies in citizenship, critical thinking, effective communication, information literacy, and lifelong wellness.
