The individual outcomes listed in the first column answer the question: What must the learner know and be able to do at the end
of the course? Items in the third column should answer the question: How do we know? The second column is where teachers can be
most creative; it's for pedagogy. Each rectangle in column one contains just one outcome; the corresponding rectangles in columns
two and three, however, may contain more than one item.
The code indicates the core competencies being strengthened by the outcomes activities and the assessment tools.
