"Learning outcomes need to be SMART: Specific - The learning outcome should be well defined and clear. It states exactly what will be accomplished. Measurable - The learning outcome should provide a benchmark or target so that the institution can determine when the target has been reached, by how much it has been exceeded or by how much it has fallen short. Agreed Upon - Important stakeholders must be in general agreement with the institution's mission, goals and learning outcomes. Stakeholders may include university, school administration, faculty, students, alumni, and/or community members. Realistic - Learning outcomes should be reasonable given the available resources. Learning outcomes should neither be easy nor impossible to attain, but somewhere in between. Time-Framed - A learning outcome should include a specific date by which it will be completed. It is important to allow enough time to successfully implement the steps needed to achieve the objective, but not so much as to elicit procrastination."
