Chicago Quarter Learning Outcomes
Best Practices
Please Note: The CQ Learning Outcomes (approved by the Liberal
Studies Council in 2006) are associated with CQ Learning Goals, the ones
you were asked to address in writing up your own CQ course proposal. The
Goal(s) most associated with each Learning Outcome is included at the
top of the list of suggested Best Practices for achieving them.
Learning Outcome 1:
Students can accurately describe aspects of the physical city (sites,
neighborhoods, natural areas, transit systems, etc.) and can cite examples
of community-specific resources and initiatives (health, arts, outreach,
historical, not-for-profit, etc.) in order to demonstrate that students
have gained knowledge of the metropolitan community, its neighborhoods,
cultures, people, institutions, organizations and issues.
Learning Outcome 2:
Students will demonstrate competent oral and/or written rhetorical skills
(e.g. clearly identified thesis and/or main point, development of ideas,
standard grammatical usage, clear organization).
Learning Outcome 3:
Students can make distinctions about the diversity of the city (ethnic,
racial, class, neighborhoods, etc).
Learning Outcome 4:
Students will be able to use the knowledge gained through Learning Outcomes
1- 3 to formulate a thesis about an aspect of Chicago pertinent to the
theme of that course section, and support that thesis with appropriate
evidence.
Learning Outcome 5:
Students can demonstrate their ability to navigate university resources,
identify academic success skills, and engage in educational, career, and
financial planning.
