SLO-mo

I am currently listening to a committee of my department colleagues work to develop a list of properly formatted SLO’s (Student Learning Objectives) so that we may meet SACS and other administrative mandates. We have even been given a book by the new Title III office to help us properly phrase the SLO’s so that they use appropriate action verbs and what-not.

It is no doubt quite useful to talk about why we are teaching what we teach, and what we hope to accomplish. Useful merely to us, though, and mainly for the sake of meeting the demands of the bloated academic-administrative class.

The same class responsible for this kind of nonsense, and for this, and for this.
